Our Favorite Gear

We often get asked what kind of gear is necessary when fluorescent rock hunting. It really depends on who you are. Each person is unique in what they want and the things that they use. Our grab and go every time includes a bag, UV glasses, water shoes, sunblock, gloves, and of course, a flashlight.

We have found that using a good backpack or bag is necessary to carry all of your treasures. We use a regular cloth bag with two handles, but it becomes uncomfortable and cumbersome as it begins to fill. We will start reviewing backpacks soon. Let us know if you have a favorite. We would love to check it out.

I use TATTU glasses, which can be found on Amazon here. Using the glasses is also a personal preference. Because the flashlight is a UV light, eye protection is important. I use them, but David does not. Using the TATTU glasses can be beneficial.

David uses boots on the beach, but I prefer NRS Kickers which can be found on Amazon for women here and men here. These are my favorite water shoes and they hold up really well in the elements. They fit perfectly too and are so comfortable.

If you are spending time in the sun before nightfall, it is important that you protect your skin with a good sunblock. While there are so many out there, I prefer sunblock that uses non nano zinc as a block. Sun protection is also a personal choice as everyone’s skin is different.

We cannot forget the flashlights. Please check our shop for availability.

Finally, I use gloves because my hands are always under UV light. For those who have difficulty being in the sun a long time, the gloves are a necessity and can be found here.

We have our faves, but we are always exploring new options in gear. Let us know if you have some favorites or if there is any gear that you are curious about. We would love to check it out.

Happy hunting!
