Of course, you can't cheap out on a probe, but I got a TRX for $10 off and free shipping. Just never pay full price.

So far, let me share my finding for good stuff:

Pouch (and get a 20% off coupon before you buy it, too): $19.99 - 20% coupon = $16
Oil Tanned Leather Tool Pouch

Hard Cap Gel Knee Pads - $9.99 - 20% coupon = $8
Hard Cap Gel Knee Pads

Brass Coin Probe - $8.56

Lesche Tool - $35.00
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=A83RT4I4U2MW8


HARBOR FREIGHT 20% OFF COUPON
Digital Savings and Coupons from Harbor Freight


Any more suggestions for this outfit?

The Amazon links for the probe and Lesche tool don't seem to be working.

I tell ya I have coin pouches from jimmy sierra and garrett. They are good, but I like the old fashioned draw string coin pouch tied to my belt about as good as anything for coin finds. I keep my coins in it, and throw my trash in my finds pouch. Use the zipper compartment for my magnifying loop.

I'm sure I've posted this somewhere before, but here is what I use when out hunting.

It's compact, it weighs nothing, it has a pocket for the good stuff and a pocket for the trash.

Anything bigger than that, I put in a plastic bag that I carry with me just in case.

I've also made my own beach scoop for nothing, but shouldn't cost more than $10.00 if you had to do it yourself.

The metal can is a utensil holder from IKEA that costs about $5.00, but I had one already so zero dollars there.

The bracket is a flag pole bracket that I had laying around in the garage, so another zero dollars there.

And the pole is just a broken mop handle, again free!

Now this won't beat my Stavr Scoop or my Stealth, but for a cheap to free scoop to muck around with on a light sand beach..............pretty good if you ask me.
