- Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
For me, here are some things I couldn't live without for detecting:
First my beach cart. Beach Cart by Wheeleez
A bit pricy but well made. It rolls so good even on very soft sand. Can pull over 150lbs!!! Stores very compact. I use a few bungees. When I am with the family I have this thing taking my Yeti Tundra 45 cooler, SportBrella, Radio and much more, you can really haul some stuff with it. Even with just my basic kit, I need it, because my basic kit includes my next item......30lbs of dive weights.
Those of you hitting the water without weight don't know what your missing! I can go into chest deep water and stay firmly planted. This is 30lbs of lead weight. If I am in more shallow water, I duck walk, to keep myself under water, and I stay planted nicely and you really don't notice the weight much. Carrying this much weight outside of the water however can be a real task. Especially if going to and from the car and there is good distance. This is why I take my Beach Cart!
Another item that I find very important is a nice waterproof seat cover, cheap, simple universal fit, keeps the seat from going to hell real fast. Here is the one I use:

Finally, is my Minelab ProSwing setup. Its decked out with my flashlight, flat head screwdriver for prying stuff out of rocks, Garett Pro Pointer, Nite-Ize cell phone holder, small nite ize flashlight on a retractable cord, storage pouch, velcro patches, custom KellyCo finds bag, and Taurus TCP:
I am making another post to talk more in depth on my Minelab ProSwing setup. You can read about it here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/general-discussion/465490-my-minelab-proswing-45-setup.html
Also, I don't use the ProSwing in the water, its just for my dry land hunting. And the weight belt of course is only used in the water. When I go in the water, I use the kellyco finds back with its original belt.
What types of things do you all find indispensable for your beach hunting?
