Twinking over gear / gems on the ground between characters is risky. Period.
If you insist on doing it...
1) Move both characters to a very little used zone. I'm a fan of Kaladim B. Oggok is really good too. You want a combination of low NPC & low player character counts - both of them.
2) Once the characters are both where you need them to be, log out of the game entirely. Close the program. Close all programs on your computer. Run a Registry cleaner. Restart your machine.
3) Start up only EQ as your sole program. Toss the stuff on the ground and camp without pause. Don't waste a second. Log the second character on and grab that shit.
The method is all about percentage chances of something going wrong. Be paranoid. Narrow that percentage for failure to be as low as possible - that means taking the above steps.
All of that said, just transfer with someone you trust / someone that's high level in a guild in EC or something. It's just not worth the stress.
