 Headphones
Headphones will greatly increase your ability to find deeper coins and jewelry. I use DetectorPro's Jolly Roger headphones. **Update: I recently bought a pair of Grey Ghost's, and Grey Ghost Utimates, they are top quality, excellent headphones. Additional Search Coils
Next to a good set of headphones, additional search coils will greatly increase your ability to make good finds. Most detectors come with one search coil, typically a general purpose one, 8 or 10 inches. This coil is great for most of your hunting, but certain hunting situations warrant the need for either smaller or larger search coils. In areas of extreme trash, where target separation is needed, a small search coil will allow you to tell one signal from another. Some areas have only very deep targets, in those situations you will need a larger search coil in order to get the extra depth. Buying an extra lower rod section for each coil makes it easier to swap out coils in the field. Sand Scoops
I upgraded my water scoop to a Sunspot Scoop. This tough but lightweight scoop is excellent for quickly retrieving items from the water. They can be reached from their Website at Sunspot Products.
For dry sand hunting I use either a short or long handled galvanized steel sand scoop with a wire mesh Basket that I purchased from Reilly's
Treasured Gold - click on the short handled scoop below for a link to their site.  Coin Diggers and Probes
For hunting in turf, my digger of choice is a Lesche (now Predator) Digger, a great tool for cutting plugs. I addition I use a
thin screwdriver with a blunted tip. These tools allow me to dig with the least amount of disturbance to
sod.
Electronic Probes
I use a "Vibraprobe" brand electronic probe. This hand held waterproof detector has cut my
digging time in half or less. Click here to visit the Vibraprobe website. I highly recommend an electronic probe to cut down on your retrieval time.
