I am hard on scoops using them on rocky beaches. Xtreme scoops are the best I have found. The following is based on my experience after 1000 hours of use. My first scoop was titanium with a 2 piece handle. Titanium is light but it also wears. After 1000 hours of use, the scoop wore enough that the very tip started to bifurcate and curl so I had to cut the first 1/4 inch of the scoop off. Also, the pop rivets on one part of the handle started to loosen. It is probably from using too much force leveraging the scoop. I now use a one piece handle with a stainless scoop for everyday use and save the titanium scoop for travel.

I purchased a Titanium scoop a number of years ago, and after hundreds of hours of use I experienced a small issue, John at Extreme was great to deal with and resolved the issue immediately. Awesome product and even better service. I own multiple scoops from a number of manufacturers and I only use my Extreme scoop!

I just got into metal detecting. I have been detecting for about two years now and it was time for an upgrade. I couldn't be happier with my new scoop. I look forward to purchasing great products in the future.

Long time water hunter, I’ve had bunch of scoops over the years and  hands down my extreme surf master with the long handle is the best scoop I’ve ever owned.  I got the stainless version and it’s built to last.  I carry my scoop at my side, find that sweet spot on the handle and it is nothing to carry all day.

I’ve been metal detecting for a while, and one thing I’ve learned is that most scoops I’ve owned start to wear out after only a few months of regular use. That’s why I decided to upgrade to the Titanium All-Terrain plus from Xtreme Scoops, and I can confidently say it’s the best scoop on the market. The customer service was just as impressive as the product. After I placed my order, John personally reached out and asked me to give him a call just to confirm I had selected the correct dig handle for the way I detect. I had already chosen the one I wanted based on the information on his website, but the fact that he took the time to verify everything before shipping my order says a lot about how much he cares about his customers. John is incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and his craftsmanship is widely regarded as some of the best in the metal detecting community. If you’re on the fence about investing in a quality scoop, I recommend Xtreme Scoops 100%. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been using my Extreme Shredder scoop for 4 years now.  The carbon shaft and the scoop itself are still solid.  I dig beaches in Connecticut that have a lot of rock and layers of shells.  The tip of the scoop is worn a bit however it still gets me down to where the gold is hiding. I’m very happy with the quality and long time durability of these scoops.  Hands down my smartest purchase for detecting the beaches.

Best quality beach scoop made.  If you’re a serious beach hunter, want durability, comfort, and best warranty (10 years), you gotta have XTREME.  John’s a small business owner who prides himself on his quality, and stands behind it.  Extremely knowledgeable and is actually a detectors himself.  Worth the money all day everyday!

I bought the stainless version and it is built like a tank.  However, if you are sticking mostly to the beach, I would highly recommend waiting for the titanium version.  The stainless is strong but it can get heavy.  It is much larger than my other scoops and that is reflected in the weight.

After breaking several CKG scoops, I finally spent the extra money for an Xtreme Scoop. I actually have a stainless Surfmaster and a titanium All Terrain. These scoops are absolutely fantastic! I'm a little bit crazy and tough as nails so I hunt in the water when most people wouldn't. I challenge my gear and these Xtreme Scoops rise to the occasion. My suggestion to treasure hunters is to buy an Xtreme scoop, Why waste a few hundred dollars on a scoop that may or may not last a few months when you can buy the best scoop on the planet and use it for years? Buy an Xtreme scoop, you will be glad you did!

As a full- time Detectorist and recovery service on the east coast, what can I say about John and his company. Absolutely TOP NOTCH service and dedication to his customers and products! Had an unfortunate loss with my All-terrain scoop and John went completely above and beyond to help me. ZERO QUESTIONS ASKED. The scoops from Xtreme are in a complete class of their own and will never be beat for decades to come. John,  thank you for all you and your men do for our community. Garry
