I guess I'm getting old...

Well I've now lost both! I'm living your worst nightmare thank you very much

I tethered my pinpointer and that is working out just fine. I'm not going to tether my digger - that's just too many cords. Nice not to have headphone cords on the Nox (when on land anyway) so 1 tether is plenty. The air tag or Tile tag is not a bad idea but for a $40-50 digger I'm just going to try and work on my cognitive skills to not leave it somewhere again

The pet ID tag bolt on dealio cost about $10 all said and done probably and that's alright. I put printed labels on my detector and sampson diggers, cover that in waterproof gorilla tape, who knows....cheap and maybe someone will return them if I leave them somewhere.

The pin pointer I lost at the beach, in a random area of dry sand most likely, is probably still there. I dunno. I'll never know exactly where it was at this point, and it has my phone number inside the battery compartment...same as the replacement one I'm using now.

I lost my Lesche.

I think I'm going to look for an alternative digger - maybe the Predator 85, though shipping is killer from them ($17).

You need to draw a line, "Am I getting STUPID and losing gear?" Simply put, check your gear out during a hunt. It will become simple second nature to know when something is missing. I went thru losing gear but is was some very good lessons. Just be aware! You can't tether everything.

I actually have the Predator 85 and love it. I ended up buying one for my father in law as well. The only thing I would swap it for the the Excalibur Shovels Merlin for travel.

Wait a minute… am I being called stupid

Almost 10 years of detecting and I swear I’ve found more stuff than I’ve lost

I hear ya. I’m pretty good about not losing stuff but poop happens.

Left it at the river (I think). I remember digging up some coins in one area of soft dirt, and then a few days later, went to go hunting and no digger in the pouch. Looked in all the cars, at home etc. Bummer. I lost a pinpointer a year or so ago and the new one is tethered it to my finds pouch. Can't see tethering a Lesche to the pouch.

Thankfully I had a new one as a spare, so I'm good there, but when I check amazon for a new Lesche they've gone up to $50 LGB??

Bugger. It was a couple years old and worn down but dang, I feel like a fool leaving it behind. I did go back to the river and looked but no go. Sucks.

Packing up as it started to rain, I lost my Lesche, It was in a field where they were playing cricket. When I asked them if they had found it, they claimed that none of them spoke English even though I know one of them had found it. I won it and never did like it. I bought another Hori-Hori knife instead.
