What metal detecting gear & tools i use & recommend 

To the one person who thumbed this down, may you find nothing but modern beer tabs, and cans.

I second 5.11 merch. Worked on ambulance for 26 years and 5.11 became the primo equipment ( boots, socks, work shirts).

Nice setup Charlie. We have seen you using this so much in the field but it is always nice to see it up close with a good explanation of use. Espescially how well the different products have held up and also your modifications. Thanks for such a good review of your gear, no doubt it will help those who are looking to get set up too or even those looking to improve on what they have. Have a great day!

Those backpacks are tanks, and I've had a Predator shovel (the Ranger, a larger model to those wondering) for a few years. Can't say enough great things about either of those, and I'm hard on my gear. My backpack (the 5.11 RUSH12, slightly different than the one in the video) was purchased via Charlie's Amazon links, and I'm so happy I bought it - knowing what he goes through to film and hike out miles into the woods, I knew it had to be a stellar backpack. Worth every penny, and it's got a water bladder pocket in the back that's only supposed to hold 2 liters, but I've managed to fit a 3 liter bladder in there without a problem. You cannot go wrong!

I love that you explain the various things you do to make life easier for carrying your gear and the other things you do to keep your gear in usable condition like the tube on your detector grip. My late Dad used to modify things so they would last and to suit his needs which is what you do and is so sensible. Good luck Charlie, take care my friend and be happy in all you do Mary-Ellen LFOD

Pretty cool use of the gear. You've given me a great idea for a couple old headlamps that work, but the head band is worn out. Great video!

Charlie.. thanks for the gear rundown... Waynos had a harness rig on in last weeks edition of SD... Can you provide any info on it? Thanks!

I love the shovel! It is hard to find the shorter version, so I think I will order the 31" and segment it so I can have the short or long version depending on needs. I think an aluminum sleeve bolted through will work fine with minimal added weight. Thank you for giving us a tour of your equipment. I hope the SD Tool will be in stock again. It is over a year since this video was added. Happy Detecting :-)

I use the SD tool mini at work to open crates...i get huge crates of equipment that is frequently nailed shut with huge nails, 5 inches or so long...i hammer the tool in to create a space to get my crow bar into the gap to pry off the lid. it does this better than any other tool i have for this task.

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing Charlie!

Thank you Charlie. I've been wondering what gear you used. Thanks for the info, Dig On!

It was called the battle of Pugh's Hill and the Rheatown Races

im gona need to switch to the bmx grip soon , my foam is almost shot, thanks for the tips D.C. ; )

Good informative video.I've been wondering about your digger since I first started following SDNT. They looked real sturdy and not so awkward for digging in tight clearance areas.

whats inside the back pack ??

nice rundown of your gear gives ya some things to think on carrying with ya. GL&HH

Thank you for sharing Charlie. I always wondered about the shovel!!. I really like the light on the backpack.

Nice review of your gear. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Great video DC. Those brushes. I have one just like it that I got off the cosmetology teacher in my building. She said it's a fingernail brush for manicures. Hope that helps you source more of them if you desire!

Awesome ! Thanks for sharing with us !😀 HH & Happy, Safe Holidays to you, yours and the Not Thursday and Stealth Diggers Crews 😀 P.S. I really enjoy watching all your video hunts too !

Awesome information Charlie Garrett should be following some of your footsteps there I'll see you on your next one

Hi Charlie. Great job explaining the gear and just about everything you talk about. You keep everything short, sweet, honest and to the point. You’d make a excellent teacher. I can listen to you for hours and I do! Carry on, later....Joyce. ARROW *🎱. Live free or die 🇺🇸🥄

Thanks c.d. great info.im useing a 80$ model white coinmaster bawaaaa.some day......

Was that a hand saw layin on the table. Thanku for the video. I wasn't sure what pinpointer u used until now.

So, do you just toss muddy relics into your pouch, or do you use a relic case to put IN the pouch?

Thanks much for the video, I've always wondered about your dig pack

There is a civil war site in Rheatown TN if you are ever in Greeneville TN.it is a small town Called Rheatown TN which is Dix miles north of Greeneville TN

Can anyone tell me which 5.11 medic pouch that is? They seem to do several but none quite like that one?

Show us your Kykers edc porch and digger tool case please!

Are the digging tools/ chisels no longer available, I didn't see them on the eBay page.

Now thats a grip of good gear 👍🏼👌🏼

Hey Bro, I've been watching your videos and you remind me of "Les Stroud".

Great video Digger Charlie always good to see a gear demo for us to see what works the best out there in the trenches and I thank you for that I'm running the AT Max I have bought the large storm coil for big open fields looking at 5x8 coils and the smaller sniper coil 3x5 and the round any thought on this I'm looking for water proof and good isolation and depth . Live! love! laugh! dig! , Knee deep in Ohio Adiggted to metal detecting and enjoy your not Thursday-live free or Die STN

Loved the overview of the gear. Very well thought out and efficient. #garrett4life
