I love my RTG big 7 aluminun scoop, everytime I use it my hand turns black, its hard to wash off. I have washed and polished it hopeing that would help but no. I hunted 3 hours last night and my hand was a mess, any tips would be great. I know wearing a glove would help but in south Florida less is better.

Anyone ever try HEAT SHRINK TUBE?

They are (at least) 2 heat shrink tube quality ...
The very shiny, crispy, black one. (Witch is not what you need)

I have all the size, and they last for long. (not the shiny one... 8-)

The black hands issue happened to me also and tape just kept coming off. Now I wear two kinds of gloves, a heavy leather work glove for the scoop hand and a thinner bicycle glove with open tips on the other so I can adjust the detector settings or pick up fine items. The combination is not overly hot even here in Florida.
