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!

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.
