I never thought I'd ever find a reason to truly justify wearing suspenders. I was out tool-belt shopping at all the local hardware stores after checking out the load bearing bests on fee-bay. I just couldn't see spending that kind of money just yet on metal detecting accessories. I ended up finding a perfect size ammo pouch made by "Allen" at a sporting goods store for only like $11. I can use my regular leather belt with this too. On the way out, I grabbed a pair of good quality suspenders with plastic clips that don't chew up the belt. Since I had my gear with me, I assembled everything in the parking lot and dawned the new fashionable suspenders. Wow, now I don't have to keep pulling up my shorts after every step or after digging a plug. I'd like to also point out that I may be the only metal detectorist who wears Redwing pull-on boots with shorts for detecting, but they suit my requirements perfectly. I thought the steel toe would cause problems with the metal detector, but it's not an issue. So here I am with an outdoor sun hat with neck bib, suspenders, work boots, and an ammo pouch . I bet it looks silly to some, but everything works great and is very comfortable. Hopefully this post may help someone save some cash when getting started.
Happy hunting, gents.
