Check the detecting laws for Norway and find yourself a hot spring to detect or something. 😀 And a couple snow bunnies to help ya dig. 😁 Sorry I will not be taking equipment with me to Norway, it will be to cold and I really don't want to have it slow me down. Should I get a chance to detect in one of those European countries I would be around there for a month, and I simply don't have that much time to spend there. Now when I go to Australia that might be another thing as I am hoping to have enough time to hit a couple of areas. Also I can't risk the snow bunnies as my girlfriend is going along.

rvpopeye Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Hey , wait up ! I wanna play ! I scan Goodwill for pouches camera bags etc. The boots are clean cuz they're new (I went with insulated for long days walking in streams this year , OK anything over an hour...)! Note the ice spikes strap , You only need to fall in once ! The belt $4 ,plastic dig trowel $4 the Canon finds bag (has a zip section for the good 'uns) $2 , all from GW .The tools are in a HD electrician's tool bag.. $12 ? Also carry the spare PP cuz the ML 35 as we all know can get finniky . I lost my old Fiscars hori but the new CORONA one $20 is better even without the brand name ! The tool pouch rides on left hip and the finds bag is on the right just back behind the detector swing space. I drag the shovel and a kneeling pad / + a 2'x2 'plastic sheet for quick and clean return of dug dirt. I have a few more bag/pouches for extra's as needed (foo) but this is the basic everyday rig. I have a small bottle in my back pocket for that beachy sand dry mouth ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only done about 4 hunts with my gear so far. 🤫 You guys are killing me with the clean gear 😄 Are you sure you guys actually metal detect?🤔 My gear looks like I put it through a shredder and duct taped it back together. My wife sews me new pouches to put on my belt about every 1 or 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just Military Discipline, I have shovels that I've used for over 25 years that still look new. 😀 While I did just put all that together, I brush it all off and blow all the dirt out after every hunt. 😎 I rinse everything off, and spray my shovel with WD-40.

rvpopeye Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 SOHNox 350 just made me look bad like you do .😩 My story is much easier ! I just clean off the detector and pointer with a baby wipe or two. Those things will take off 90w gear oil and bondo , even partially cured f-glass so a little dirt is p o cake easy. 👍 The cam bags are $2 ($1.60 on tuesday!) Cleaning off the targets is the hard part for me ! The boots , not so much. While I do rinse them off near shore in a tidal pool after the flats before tossing in the trunk . I just stomp a bit before going inside the rig otherwise ....real easy during winter just kick the step . I DO rinse the T Rex off once in a while. Rubber coated gloves just get rotated out , or replaced when they get religious enough. Ask me what I do with the guitar though and all bets are off ! 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
