Default Not A Fan

I am not fond of the fanny pack or the apron for my finds. It may not be a good thing to do but I put gold or silver in my left pocket and pennies and bullets in my right. Then I keep a plastic sack in my left rear pocket. So when anyone ask. Did you find anything? Of coarse the first thing I show them is the trash then the pennies That's it that's all they get to see. Does anyone else have a good method for stowing their finds?

If I am going to be hunting by myself I just use my pockets. The right pocket for keepers and all the other pockets for trash. Usually I use a pouch when I am going to be out a long time or with others. JC

Pretty much the same as you except that I wear an pouch. Good stuff (as infrequently as I find it) goes in my pants pockets and clad and trash in the apron. In the water though, everything usually goes in my mesh bottom pouch, depending on the bathing trunks I'm wearing, most pockets aren't deep or secure enough.

I bought a Minelab pouch and really like it. It has two outside pockets, one is open, one is kept closed with velcro. The trash goes in the open one and all my other stuff goes in the velcro one.

Seems to work for me, Beale.

Pretty much the same as everyone else....I never show anyone the good stuff while I'm in the field...keeps folks from trying to lay claim to the finds...

I use a pouch that has room for my tools and two pockets on the inside. I do keep items that are less valuable in one in case someone asks. I do carry a 35mm film case for anything of great value so it stays seperated.

I use cargo pockets. I'm still looking for that "perfect pouch"...

I don't like fanny packs, either. I've used an apron, but have since started using a very nice tool pouch. I also have a fishing vest that I've used. It's pretty cool, but I don't use it often because I need to cut the strings out from the inside of the pockets. It has TONS of pockets.
