Tool belt question
What do you use to carry your digging tools with you? I presently have a nice Vietnam era web belt with all my stuff hanging from it. Any commercial stuff available out there that will let you carry a probe,knife,digging tool all in one unit?

While dirt digging, I just carry my digger in my hand...At the beach, I have a man purse that I use... I can carry a drink, keys, and other assorted goodies in it..I then get my finds and stuff them in my man purse..."E" thinks my man purse is funny..The green purse matches my eyes....I am a well dressed beach hunter for sure....Buster....

I just use a heavy leather belt with a 2 pocket cordura pouch that has a side pouch that will hold a digging tool or probe. My digging tool and pinpointer both have sheathes of their own. When I carry a towel, I just slip under my belt.

My hunting buddy uses one of those Army belts, filled with gadgets and gizmos, and I only have an old vinyl catch-all pouch hanging from my belt, and carry my digging tool in my hand. I go simple, but some prefer to be extremely prepared. I guess the wide Army belt is the way to go if you want to carry alot of stuff.

I went to the hardware store and bought a tool pouch. I also have a finds bag and a hanging clip for my big digger. Add those to my kneepads, gloves, and hat and I do get some stares going into a store, Beale.
