NEW Treasure Shell
& Gem Scoop

Illustration shows the NEW Gem Treasure Scoop - Shell & Gem Scoop used for collecting Agates of the Oregon Coast. Great for recreational rockhounding as quoted from an avid rockhound - I'm glag to see the gem scoop available again, lately I have had re-occuring knee problems since my knee surgery (over 20 years ago), and the gem & treasure scoop allows me to continue my beachcombing and rockhounding. I use the treasure scoop like a trecking pole, as it is strong but ultralite and gives me a feeling of security and balance for breaking and confidence to help protect my joints and muscles from hiking impact lessening soreness on my knee. In Stock and ships immediately. To ensure availibility of this item, order as early as possible. Best Buy Now Available! Estwing stopped making the shell and gem scoop in 2004 and they have been sorly missed by the beachcomber and rockhound communities ever since.

The Treasure scoop is an ideal tool for beachcombers and serious rockhounds. This makes a great grabber, or pick-up-stix for that extended reach with minimal bending and stretching, a great aid for seniors with arthritis. Handy for that long reach to retreave a treasure in the surf before a wave comes at you to snatch it away. Excellent as a walking stick for mountaineering, or as a garden tool (NOT to be used as a pry bar, hammer, pick or shovel) could possibly even support up to 350 lbs, with pointed spur to climb up or down, and slotted scoop edge to sift, rake or pick-up. For beachcombers to help prevent you from slipping on mossy rocks while tide pooling, useful for clam digging, etc. Great gift idea! In Stock and ships immediately.

CLIENTS COMMENTS... "I am very pleased with the 42" gem scoop that I just received. My order was taken in a speedy and friendly manner, and the tool was shipped very promptly. In addition, the shipping charges were extreamly reasonable (unlike many mail-order businesses)! I am looking forward to using the tool during my annual visits to lake Superior.
Thanks Again,"
