MDSS

(Metal Detecting Shovel Scoop)

Shown is a FissureMan Online product named MDSS that is used for the retrieval of both precious and non-precious metal objects.

This product is the first of its kind ever to be offered on Ebay. Even though there are now competitors copying this product, it is still the best purchase for your metal detecting needs. This product is made specifically to retrieve the objects found by a metal detection enthusiast searching areas of loose ground, sand and/or small gravels - not just recommended for sand searching only.

This tough device is a solid one-piece polypropylene industrial construction giving each shovel an unmatched strength and durability.

This is not just a cheap plastic shovel found anywhere with some holes added.

Its deep well capacity and lightweight balance make it ideal for handling hefty loads.

With a custom cut round diamond shape and geometrically placed hole pattern it will perform work that allows for easy deep digging, lifting, sifting and retrieval of located targets. It works well in dry and/or wet sand.

Square blade shovels (sifting or not) increase drag in the material being dug because of wide surface contact of the blade cutting edge. As a result more effort is needed and expended to dig deep compared with a round blade edge shovel.

Square blade shovels will only work well to shave the very top layer of material and don't work well to dig deep to a target. 

As an additional benefit, this product floats when accidentally dropped into deeper water.

USE

When a detectorist locates a target they will inevitably end up bending or stooping down to dig and retrieve their finds – usually with some hand held trowel or sand sifter.

In some instances this may take one scoop using a little hand scoop to dig up the target, however, in many instances it takes 3 or more time consuming scoops. (The deeper targets are the better targets)

The MDSS eliminates most if not all of the backbreaking bending and stooping by providing a tool that is long enough (36” typical length – tip to handle) for the average height individual to reach the ground without undue bending to dig and retrieve a target.

The MDSS sifts sand using 98 total geometrically spaced, holes to expose any target and retrieve all targets larger than 3/8” overall diameter without most of the usual back stress one might encounter.

Additionally, the overall size of the MDSS shovel/scoop is such that it will likely take one full scoop or less to actually get the valuable target into the sifting area of the shovel, cleaned of the excess sand and ready to be placed into your “pock”.

If the target should happen to be deeper than one scoop,  the user can continue to dig deeper and detect each large scoop load for the target with their detector without the need to actually sift the material each and every time until they know the target is in the scoop.

- Made by a Metal Detectorist for Metal Detectorists - 

Did I mention?

The MDSS will not register on any metal detector –

It has no metallic parts in its construction – unlike many of the other standing or stooping scoop styles of any real material volume.

AND

Metal shovels will irreparably damage valuable finds if you hit them with the edge of a metal shovel while digging - I'm just saying....

The MDSS won’t corrode –

Even though stainless steel scoops will not readily corrode they will make a detector sing if they are left anywhere close by.

When compared to the MDSS –

Cheap non-stainless steel scoops will have less durability and a shorter useful life.

The MDSS is less expensive –

Properly constructed standing stainless steel scoops cost an arm and leg when compared to the cost of the MDSS.

The MDSS moves a lot of material with each scoop –

Typical scoops, standing or stooping, will not move anywhere close to the amount of material per scoop.

Things to do with it when not searching for your treasures

-      Clear the your kid’s sandbox of buried toys or other articles

-      Clean dangerous, hidden objects from public sand/play yards

-      Clear an area to be hand dredged of oversize rocks

-      Place it below the output of an active hi-banker/sluice for easy tailings clearing
