I'm prepping to get out early this spring as soon as the ground is diggable with my 8 year old. We've had a weird mild winter with very little snow so might be able to dig early this year.
Anyway I got to thinking about what I might need or want to make our hunts - easier, convenient, and still not look like we're geared up for guerilla warfare.
I don't like to attract too much attention if I can help it. That being said one popular place we'll try to hit is the local reservoir. They let it out early spring to it's lowest point and it was "built" over an old town. It's also a very popular fishing and swimming area. That's what got me to thinking, because there's lots of trash. Beer cans/caps/pull tabs, etc. I don't like mixing my interesting finds in with a bunch of garbage.
I've been just using a small tool pouch, this isn't good for lots of trash though. Other than that I've been carrying just my digging trowel and my pin pointer.
Would love to hear suggestions and ideas of what you all like to carry/have available to you when dirt fishing.
Bonus question: Ideas for tools/accessories my 8 year old son might need/want/think is cool.
