Cartridge bag or belt, and probably one of those cartridge extractor tools with a hook to pull out separated cases.

Nothing much else needed apart from a pocket full of strings or a game bag.

I have been acquiring period images of people posing with their pinfire guns and many of these show the accessories they had:

Not what the pinfire hunter would carry while hunting, but what the hunter would need to keep a supply of pinfire cartridges. both rifle and gun.
