I just purchased a few more items and came to the realization that I have more necessary equipment then my current "Gear Bag" will carry. So I wanted to throw this out there see what everyone uses?

I have a Minelab Explorer with a three coils, Detector uni-pro, Swing thing, Pouch, digging tools and batteries. I have a Minelab padded carry bag.

I have a surplus duffle bag from the Italian army. It has multiple pockets and it is almost the size of a parachustist bag. If I wasn't using this, I would get a parachutist (pilot's kit) bag.

I have a lightweight knapsack with over the shoulder strap which carries everything but my detector. On my belt is a Garret tool pouch with probe, screw driver, and gator trowel. If I'm in a questionable area,
I have a large commando style knife in a tool pouch from Kellyco. I also have a waist carry bag or fanny pack for other items. Army folding foxhole shovel. :)

I use a ladder-like suspender/belt, load hauler affair that which I carry empty canteen canvas bags - like a modular system, works with the four, five tools I carry, plus pouch for trash and a separate bag for the goodies. Pro-pointer goes on the thing , also with a larger bag for lunch, etc.
