Sand Dipper Full Size Beach Scoop Shovel & Sifter Tool for Beachcombing – Adjustable Sea Glass, Shell, Shark Tooth Sifter for the Beach – Can Be Used as a Walking or Hiking Stick Too – Pink, 4” Basket

I originally purchased this for my wife, but I’m pretty sure I used it more than her hands-down. It works perfectly, telescopes in and out. It feels practically weightless and is no longer than a large golf umbrella. Originally, I thought it was pretty expensive, but it held up very well and worked great.

Excellent product. I purchased this so I could walk the beach looking for shells. It works great. It extends just enough that you can walk the edge of the water and reach in to grab a special shell without getting soaked. It also gives me support with walking.

It’s perfect

I don’t love the PVC scoop Richard made for me, so I splurged on this one. Love it! It’s light and collapsible. With the zipper open a tiny bit, I can carry it in my backpack with the top 8 inches or so sticking out. I’ve used it 3 times with good results. I didn’t anticipate ever sharing my sand dipper, but he enjoyed hiking with it as a walking stick today. I squatted down by the river with just the scoop part to hunt for agates. Richard poked at rocks and flipped them over, which allowed him to hunt mostly upright and avoid at least some of the back strain of bending/squatting. I’d barely even noticed that it could be used as a walking stick since I’ve never liked hiking that way, but it’s a really nice feature.

Sturdy handle, nice grip, extends a long way, quality hardware. Great for scooping shells at the beach. My spouse loves it, too.

I bought this to pick up shark teeth but the mesh is too small and they just fall through, so it doesn't work for that, unless you find a really big one. That's why I gave it only a 4 star. It is great for picking up larger shells and is very well made. I like to also use it as a walking stick. I don't have the extra tip that you can purchase separately, I just use the little basket.

For anyone that is serious about shelling, I highly recommend this! I don’t she’ll just to shell, I’ve been doing it so long I try to collect shells I don’t yet have unless I find sand dollars that have already died. This was amazing on my last trip to the Gulf Coast of Florida! My kids even found sharks teeth :) Worth every penny.

Adjustable length and well built.
