The Metal Detecting Accessories Everyone Needs

- Shovels – finding a treasure’s location is no good if you can’t get to it!
- Panning Kits – and an instructional video to learn the tricks of the trade
- Pocket Knife / Multi-Tool Kit – a great multi-tool kit is a game changer when you’re extracting a new find
