One thing that I use alot that I never did before was a pair of knee high rubber slip on boots....That way I can just slide off the boots and exchange for tennys before getting back in vehicle

 

[jeff of pa]

yep, i'd look good in them

 

[Monty]

With all that stuff you could live in your car or truck for a month! I use to keep my spare detector in the Durango but too many cars were getting burglarized and I read too many reports of the heat ruining detectors in the summer. Dang, I feel naked. All I take is some water, my detector and something to dig with....and oh yeah, my .45 and cell phone. Monty

 

[jeff of pa]

don't forget medical and camera

YEP

got #8. First aid Kit (Including Emergency Cigs)
Kit even includes Smelling salts & Splints.

Cell Phone,and camera not added to list because they come in the house nightly
with the detector because of dampness

I always keep a state map handy 'cause you just never know. I also went to the courthouse and bought a plat map book ($10) If you find a place out in the country it sure helps to have the name of the person who owns it so I can get permission to hunt those old abandoned farm houses.
