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!
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
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 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.
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.
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 !
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 🇺🇸🥄
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
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

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

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!
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!

Loved the overview of the gear. Very well thought out and efficient. #garrett4life
So, do you just toss muddy relics into your pouch, or do you use a relic case to put IN the pouch?
Charlie, I know you probably get asked this at daily if not hourly but what would be easy, fairly cheap detector?
To aqui amigo
Heyo ✋😁👍
What you keep for safety from animals
Can anyone tell me which 5.11 medic pouch that is? They seem to do several but none quite like that one?

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