 Probably another silly question as its probably down to individual preferences.   I haven't seen the pouch on the  second link worn so therefore not sure how and where it hangs and would it hinder the swing of the detector or cause probs when crouching.  Any of you had boyth styles??

     So therefore what would you experienced detectors recommend  and why??

     Thanks.  Sheaghn.

I think it's down to personnel preference, but for me it would be number 1  as 2 looks a little bulky :)

I'd go for No.1 as well. It's similar to the one I made for myself. Attached a pici so you can judge for yourself.

Personally, neither. They won't last as long as this one. It has a pouch for a hand trowel, dual slots for 2 probes (you heard right you can wield dual probes with this) another slot for a 3rd probe if really needed. Large part for finds. But most of all it IS built to last forever.

If you look around I got mine for 12.99

The bungee attachment is very useful and worth thinking about.  It's not deigned for taking the weight but for suspending the machine when you stop to dig.  Saves having to put it on the ground. Got a piece of strong Velcro round the hand grip with a key ring threaded through. Just attach and go, saves a lot of scratches and cleaning.


Val

Well, I'm a skin-flint.  Mine cost nothing and it's still going strong. :D

Thats the one i got , upgraded as i kept filling the bumbag ones so had to take a rucksack to empty it. Plenty of room in this one i take spare gloves,batterys for probe,water, spare battery pack, snacks and place for the pointer. zipped compartment for good finds aswell, but the junk side is great real depth

That's the same one from the same supplier only £6 cheaper than the 1st one Nemesis gave the link to.

Val

After looking at the bullets you dug the up the other maybe one of those shopping trolley bag things with wheels is what you need?  ;D

Bought one similar to the Makita a year ago from a local tool store. Would never buy another dedicated finds pouch as I'm
unlikely too need one, as this thing is going to last years. It has two pockets, finds in the larger, pointer and trowel in the front smaller section.
It also has two metal rings built into the bag which a use to attach my accessories too via elastic tent cord so I never leave them by the side of a hole.
Think I paid around the £17:00 for it.

Will post a pic later, as I have to go to Blaenavon on an errand shortly.

Val

Looks a very professional job Val and nicely made I must get the wife to make me one (she should get involved in my hobby  ;D )

Hammerroid, easy peesy. You could do it.  Not rocket science.  I had a small back pack that I didn't use. Cut close to front pockets and about 6inc above.
Turn top material under and under again to make a tunnel for a computer carry strap and there you have it.

Val

  Thanks for the advice and link's everyone.
 
   I was a bit concerned with the tool pouches not having a zipper and the ''hard searched finds''  spilling out of the open tops.   However I thought for £6.60 inc del it was worth giving the one  DIGITUP recommended a punt.  If I dont get on with it I'll probably go for the ULTIMATE  BAG.    Maybe false economy but hey you  live and learn.  LOL
 
 Definately looking into the Bungee attatchment aswell VAL so thanks for that as I will be mostly in the wet sand and shore line. 

    Thanks all again.    ( BIG THUMBS UP)..       
   

Hammerrhoid your right your wife should get involved in your hobby she could do your digging for you and carry your finds ;D ;D oops! don't mention to her that i said so lol ::) ::)

Thanks for the info Val hopefully i might have one made up by the next rally :)

Quite right NEMESIS, live and learn. PLUS  it will come in very handy when you start doing some proper jobs around the house. ::) ;)

Val
