Need help finding a GOOD beach long handle scoop

I can't decide on what beach scoop with a long handle to buy and looking for suggestions. It must be tough, need to scoop in wet and dry sand, getting to old to keep bending over to find targets! Seen alot of brands but wondered what everybody was using? Any suggestions or links would be appreciated. $100-175 range is fine. Just want to make sure it lasts! Thanks!

I've had this one for about 3 years. It has served me well

Here is a new style aluminum water scoop. It is a light duty shallow water and beach scoop. The aluminum bucket has 5/8" diameter holes punched into the sides and the back of the scoop.

I found me a Used Long Handled Stainless Steel Sand Scoop at the Local Metal Detector Dealer for $90.00. The scoop has 5/8" round holes.
I inserted some Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh with 1/2" Square Holes and attached Magnets inside scoop to catch the bobbie pins and small metal pieces.
