We offer high-quality clamming gear designed for both beginners and experienced diggers — including baskets, diggers, measuring rings, and starter sets. Every item is built for the mudflats and tested right here on the Maine coast.

Yes! Our products are assembled and tested locally in Downeast Maine. Many components are handcrafted or sourced from trusted regional suppliers to ensure quality and durability.

• ½ Peck Basket: Great for kids, educational programs, or light use.
   
• 1 Peck Basket: The most common size for recreational diggers.
   
• 2 Peck (½ Bushel): Ideal for larger harvests or commercial clammers.
   

If you’re just starting out, we recommend the Let’s Go Digging Kids Set or the 4-Tine Set — both include everything you need to get started.

Yes! Our 4-Tine Kid Diggers are smaller but fully functional. They’re built with the same stainless steel as our full-size diggers, just lighter and easier for kids to handle.

• 4-Tine: Compact and versatile for everyday digging.
   
• 5-Tine: Heavy-duty and balanced — ideal for regular clammers.
   
• 6-Tine: Wide and rugged for rocky or compacted flats.
   

The more tines, the wider your dig — but also the heavier the tool.

Use our 2-inch Stainless Steel or Plastic Measuring Ring to check for legal size. If the clam passes through the ring, it’s undersized and should be left on the beach, if it touches at the top and bottom of the ring, it's a keeper! Always follow local harvesting regulations.
