[QUOTE="Shane, post: 66718, member: 2106"] I ditched the headphones and got a speaker. Also made a battery from rechargeable cells I got from a battery shop. Hang all this off the detector box and you don't have any cables attached to your body. The other thing I suggest is a small backpack with a 3 lt camel back style water reservoir, pin pointer, nugget jar (plastic) and a gold loupe. I also carry some zip lick bags in case I find some dirt I want to pan and sometimes I even slip a small pan into my back pack. Other musts are a GPS and camera to record locations etc. I got a sadie with mine and highly recommend it. I found gold on my first outing with the 5000. If you have large flat areas with limited scrub and obstructions a big coil would be better but the sadie is awesome for creeks and crevices etc. [/QUOTE]
