Otterbox for holding my car keys, drivers license, a few cigarettes/lighter, and a few dollars for breakfast on the way home.. Ammo pouch for finds/trash, small zipper in front for keepers, big zipper pocket for trash, other pocket holds the otterbox. Cheap $20 casio waterproof tide watch. Scoop. The waterproof match holder in the picture, I can't figure out what to use it for.. Not pictured, water shoes, detector, baseball cap, board shorts, sunglasses, t shirt, and folding pocket knife (in case a shark wants to dance).

One thing I need to add, is a small squirt bottle filled with white vinegar, incase of jellyfish stings.

This is for shallow water detecting, you won't need to waterproof stuff for the dry sand.

I would say bug spray and a positive attitude

Does anyone have a good way of keeping their phones dry. ive resorted to just leaving mine in the car, but i have become accustomed to having it (read addicted) and don't wear a watch as i use my phone for time.

Bring the theme music from JAWS. That always gets me pumped up when I'm water hunting in the dark.
