[QUOTE="loamer, post: 65903, member: 981"] I would go 'clean fatigue' for a while before buying all the accessories. Then if you get a sore back, arms etc, then decide if you need the specialist harness and hip-stick. (Some people swear by them). Pick holder is the same - if you are using a bigger coil you really want the pick as far from the coil as possible - slung over your shoulder seems to even things out, but again, personal preference. Detector box cover - a must have. An under guard cable guide - fits under the handle and gives support to the coil cable into the box - saves movement of the lead, keeps it straight without any undue strain of the leads. (About $20). A spare power cable is a bonus. Go the op shop and get a cricket bat bag - lots cheaper than the minelab bags they sell and keeps your detector nice and safe in your vehicle while travelling. Plastic bag - cheapest all weather cover for the box. 100 mile and hour tape - great for fixing coils and stuff while on the move. and the list and $$ goes on....... [/QUOTE]
