I went to Cabelas with Lookin4seated and we picked them out - good thing he mentioned to try the "Stout" ones as the regular ones were kinda tight (like skin on bologna) :laughing9:

Now I can get into the water without freezing my feet! :hello2:

Going to try them out on monday and hopefully I can get some goodies. :icon_pirat:

It pays to get a good pair of waders as they will last lots longer than the bargin ones. Suggest you wear a PDF also.

Good Luck on the water hunt, look forwards to the video......You guys be safe and dig us some of that ChicagoGold.....

When you find enough gold then you can move up to a Dry Suit that you can wear thermal underwear and socks that is safer in case you step into a deep hole unless your waders are tight around your chest to keep water out. :coffee2:

Depending on the waders, and the fit/etc, the simple addition of wearing a wader belt can reduce the in-rush of water filling up the waders/legs, should you take a really bad plunge. ALot of waders include them.

Just be careful when they get filled with water they can drown you!!!

Thanks for the info guys, were goin out in the morning to try them out, I have to stay pretty shallow as im going to use my Minelab SE Pro so maybe just 2-3' max till I can find enough gold to buy an excalibur. :icon_pirat:

waiter serves food --waders keep you dry -- do not get into overly deep water with them -- and be very very sure you do not step into any deep hole spots , where you might go over your head deep --- once the top of the waders is in the water the waders can fill up rapidly with water turning them into a death trap that can drown you as you try to get to the surface for air --so please be very careful. -- your freinds here at T net. :thumbsup:

you might want to have a sharp"diver" type knife attached to your forearm in a forearm sheath to be able to cut the shoulder straps in case of a "accident" -- it could save yer life .
