A hand tool having a tapered wedge head, an entrapment mesh supported by a carriage structure and cantilevered from the wedge head, and a handle adjustably coupled to the carriage structure. The tapered wedge head ramps materials, such as sand and soil, into the entrapment mesh. The entrapment mesh is fixed to the carriage structure such that the face and opposed sides of the carriage structure are open. The entrapment mesh is cantilevered from the wedge head to prevent contact of the mesh with the ground.

A hand tool for collecting debris from sand, soil and the like comprising, a wedge head having a ground-contacting surface and having first and second ends, said wedge head having a taper in height, from smaller to larger, in a direction from said first end towards said second end, an entrapment mesh rigidly cantilevered from said second end of said wedge head at a level above said ground-contacting surface, said entrapment mesh having spacings smaller in size than debris to be collected, said entrapment mesh forming a receptacle having an open face at the second end of the wedge head and having opposed sides, at least one of said opposed sides being open, and handle means coupled to said entrapment mesh for exerting a force on said wedge head to move said wedge head in a direction opposite said taper.
