Hi Goldnboy ! Thank You ! Scoop is done !! I am quiet happy with it - maybe not very smooth and fancy but strong for sure and with doctor welding skills .... Well , now I just need beach, water and few diamond rings to test it !

yes it's about time I get back in the water and with all the shark issues we are having it might be best to have a buddy watching my back. As far as the scoop goes ....and the donor washing machine. just tell your wife you converted the machine to be "waterless" hehehe!
Damn fine scoop though.....I'm sending you our washing machine for a service as well!

Looks like you guys have been quite busy in my absence meaning that I will have a ball reading all of your posts, but for now I will just say hi to you all and go back in silent mode for a while longer.

All the best

Silki the scoop looks good, but im thinking the holes could be a bit larger for beter flow of the waste sands... I hope you can give it a good test out sometime soon

Thanx , Goldnboy ! I used metal from the old washing machine - well guessed Viking ! - so the holes were already like that , but in real they are not so small - will try on the beach , and will let You know.
Viking , You dont have to sacrifice yours machine , I still got quiet big piece of that metal left ! Actually , if you want it , I dont mind to make You one - it is nice exercise for me - at least no blood involved ! You may have good use of it , because rest of us , " inland rats " we can only dreams about beaches full of diamonds ! Detecting

Well now Silki.........I accept your generous offer, If you could put a scoop together for me I would be over the moon.
I made one out of an old stop sign ( don't ask) . It lasted one season hehe! And my arms grew a couple of inches from the weight.
Let me know what it costs and I will be happy to sort you out.
