lets talk about gloves...

I had a pair of these HandMaster ROC15TL Men's Full Nitrile Coated Palm Garden Glove, Large - Work Gloves - Amazon.com They worked great! but after awhile they started to rip at the tip where my finger nail was. I was using my hand to scoop dirt out of holes and stuff.. At the beginning, they were some what waterproof and kept my hands warm. I was not worried about getting cuts from glass and what not. Im now looking for a pair for the next season, hoping some of you guys can share some of your opinion and experiences with what ever gloves you have used.

didn't use them at first, but I do now. Took way too long to get my finger nails clean.

probably won't use them at beach

HI; I HAVE A SUGGESTION, GO TO YOUR LOCAL OUT FITTERS AND IN THE FISHING SECTION LOOK FOR NEOPRENE FISHING GLOVES FOR COLD WATER FISHING.
THEY ARE MADE LIKE DIVERS GLOVES THEY KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM IN COLD WATER AND ARE FAIRLY DURABLE.

I use what you use, it's just that I get mine from a flea market and pay $1 to $2 per pair. I go through 3 or 4 pairs a year.

I have a pair of Berkely neoprene gloves that I bought 20 years ago, used them today and they work pretty well still. They are starting to come apart a bit, so I am looking at the Stormer cast Kevlar gloves. I will see what they look like and report back.

Army Surplus chemical suit gloves. Tough outer shell, neoprene lining. You can reach into fires and pull things out no problem. My old army chem suit withstood direct jet lighter flame for 45 second unphased. Great stuff. A little bulky but worth it if you're not after feeling texture and are after protection.

I get mine out of the sporting good department in Walmart for a couple of bucks and they will last a good yr

Wells Lamont leather glove 3-pack at Costco - $19.95

I use dive gloves for the beach/water, Huskey gloves from Home Depot for land hunting. They seem to give me the best combination of feel, protection, flexibility, and warmth.

 

[WhiteTornado]

I have two different kinds. For colder weather or tougher conditions, I use a pair of leather gloves that my local treasure club sells. $3 per pair, can't beat the price. The other pair are more like gardening gloves, with neoprene covering the palm and fingers, with cloth on the back of the hand. I tend to use those in warmer weather.

I would not hunt without gloves, considering some of the rusty, sharp stuff I've pulled out of the ground.

I can tell you, after the years and MANY gloves I have went thru. I only use harbor freight ones. they are like 3 bucks, waterproof and last about the same as the "good" ones I buy. Ive tried cowhide, deerhide, and they still get holes in the fingers.

I actually saved up all my old gloves with the intention of dipping the tips where the holes are at in PlasticDip

Dont spend alot of money on them, they wont last as long as you think

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

I usually keep 3 pair in the car at all times....I used to not wear them until the first time I was sweeping away leaves and bumped into a syringe

I have two pairs of gloves that I really like. One is a Ridding glove by Western Safety. It's mostly leather. The other is a neoprene / fake leather dive glove. Good for the surf or wet conditions,(really keep the hands warm).
My biggest problem is finding a size small.
The ridding glove I got at Harbor Freight $10 bucks, use the 25% off coupon in the mailer. These are the only ones that they carry in small, med, & large.

I like those big green Hulk fists, that way if I don't make any good finds, I can play "Hulk Smash"!

OK, not really. I buy the $10 "mechanics" type gloves. I don't use my fingers for digging, so they last me quite a while. If it's muddy, cheap brown jerseys, and hose them off when I'm done, let them dry, and use them the next time it's muddy.

i buy my detecting gloves in bulk from Costco.
12 pair per box for a great price. the palm and fingers are rubber coated.
washable and they hold up and last through several long hunts.

 

[CoilToTheSoil]

I use electrician gloves. Woven synthetic material light stretchy and the palm side along with fingers are dipped. These gloves are great. Granted they're made by Ansel so they are costly. If/when they stretch I simply wash them and they shrink right back.
