Webekin Valued Member United States 454 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 7:59 pm When I started, I used a cloth shopping bag to carry my gear. Then a 5 gallon bucket, with my pinpointer, digger, ground cloth, finds bag, and all my trash. Used the bucket to help me get up from the ground, because of hip replacement, and a knee repair on the opposite side. Well I've changed my gear toting equipment. I now use a empty cat litter container, and have mounted the belt holder for my Garrett pinpointer on the rim. Also use a piece of copper wire I detected, made a loop to hold my digger in an up right position for easy access, same as the pinpointer. I then cut the top of a bleach jug off and set it inside for all my trash, and I get a lot of trash. Soon I will make a mount for my find bag and coin tube for all my keepers. The cat litter container is lighter than the 5 gallon bucket and holds everything I currently need. Webekin Report this Post to the Staff

Webekin Valued Member United States 454 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 12:00 pm Here are a few pictures. The black bag has my credit card size magnifying glass for those times when I want to know the date on a dirty coin. The Mentos candy container is where I store my fresh finds. The Pin-pointer and digging tool are upright and handy. The trash container is easier to fill with the handle removed. The 12" forceps, I use to pickup trash, on top of the ground. I don't bend like I did 40 years ago. Had trouble posting photos, had to send them to myself by email save to desktop them upload to here. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 7:15 pm Interesting way to carry your gear. For me .. I am not sure I would want to carry a bucket while detecting. I do understand how hard it is on the knees as we get older. Sometimes when my detector is telling me it is a cent, I wonder if if it worth it, to my knees, to dig it up.

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 7:57 pm I appreciate the inventiveness of people especially when overcoming a problem. A triumph of the human spirit! I've seen some interesting contraptions over the years from beachcombers. I'll bet there are a few ideas floating out there on the web that might benefit the treasure hunters here! Good luck folks!

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 08/14/2016 5:04 pm I carry as little as possible when detecting, because usually I'm on private property. I know some of my buds carry 2' short shovels. I carry a Lesche digger, pinpointer, and pouch, on a belt. I love the Tidy cat buckets tho. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
