So I got into the hobby back in 2012-2013 then moved on to life of all things. Just purchased an XP Dues from Bart at Big Boy Hobbies. Great folks to work with by the way. Haven't had it out yet. To cold out and the ground is frozen. But hope to get out soon. In the mean time started shopping for a case. Found the XP Dues case but 150-170$
!!?? ok yeah couldn't bring myself to do it. So I did some online searching and found some really old posts of folks who took a rifle case and made a Metal Detector case out of it. for 65$ you cannot beat it. Yes its much bigger then the Deus case but its solid and works great. the Plano tactical case I received had this foam insert that was setup with little square pieces of foam that you can make your own mold by pulling pieces out. So I went to work with it tonight and Im very pleased how it turned out.
Thought Id reintroduce myself with a little share of how Im getting rig setup. Cant wait to put this to work. Wife and I camp a lot during spring and summer I plan to do some detecting then and see if I can get on some nugget shooting out in Colorado. We also have a plan to hit the Virgin Islands this year so got myself 1 of those handy sand scoops. Who knows maybe I can pay for the trip out there with some neat finds =-)
