Whats a good carrying bag for a fisher F75?

[osity]

Just starting out and I'm looking for a bag for the Fisher F-75. Will a cheap $20.00 bag do?
Any recommendation on a carrying case?
Is it good to carry accessories in the bag or better in a back pack?

Thanks

I don't use a Fisher, but my wife made me a bunch of fleece detector bags for transporting and storage. They keep your detector safer in the car, and dust free when stored. I've got 'em in 4 or 5 colors and patterns.

I have a nice Fisher bag now that I won in a contest so the price was right.
Before that I found a bag used for carrying skis down at my local thrift shop.
Padded, thick, even had a pocket or two for some accessories.
Best thing about it was the cost...$5.

Welcome from White Plains, New York!

You don't need a carry bag! It's a waste of money. No one uses a bag except new guys and Numb-nutz. Spend your money on stuff you need. When you start finding gold and silver, then you can sell it and start wasting a few dollars on "cool" stuff.

I bought a bag and never use it like Terry said!

 

[digger27]

I use a carry bag every time I travel in planes or cars on vacation.

I'm pretty new and my wife still keeps my nutz numb. I like my fleece bags 'cause it's harder to see a detector in the car, and I usually have a couple bumping together when I go anywhere with 'em. My son usually takes his, and sometimes my daughter brings one as well. Could have as many as four or more loaded in the car, sometimes along with camping stuff, a shovel or two, etc. Nice to have a little extra padding on the detectors. The bag has a draw string, so takes just a couple seconds to slip out of. They're made from WallyWorld $2.50 blankets and each blanket makes two bags. Takes wifey 10min. to cut and sew. Who doesn't like a little extra protection..?

Numb-nutz....

OK, OK, if you want to bag it up, God Bless! Myself? Don't need another dirty, muddy, piece of stuff to wash.

Numb Nutz!

Hilarious!

Those fleece bags your wife makes are really nice! I also want them to hide/conceal the detector in the car when we're on the road and stop at a restaurant or to walk around and sightsee etc.
It takes someone 10 seconds to smash a window in a car and take a very expensive detector! Maybe a bag will help... maybe I should also lock the thing to the seat of my car with a cable!

I hike in a lot of places as I use my detector for things most folks wouldnt think of. Some guys just go only where they can drive up to. Those guys dont need no bag, just the rest of us nummers that actually walk.

I was inching around a ledge one day when my ankle gave out. My F75 not in a bag goes flying over the edge a good 30 feet before it landed in a bush. It looked like it had been run over. But the ol F75 still worked. I now use covers on everything. I still have the cracked coil cover on the ol F75 and it is a reminder of how close I come to loosing it. sometimes I have to crawl over rocks or go up a tight trail to get to the spot. The extra long back pack is very comfortable and holds a lot. If you plan on walking any distance I would say spend a few extra bucks.

i must be numb to cause i have bags for all my detectors....but just recently i found a really great bag (Believe it is a oversized duffle bag) at goodwill,almost new with lock and keys for $3.99.

 

[Terry Soloman]

You guys do crack me up!

As far as bags go I have 2 Whites bags that are large enough to hold 2-3 coils with lowers and huge storage pockets. They are much batter than Garretts, fishers and Teknetics ime.
Honestly though I never use them except if I go out of town and want to be able to grab one handle and carry everything in a hotel.

I have two bags. One is for detectors and one is for prospecting. I keep a few small emergency items and all my must haves in them. All I have to do is load water bottles and go. My detectors only get broke down if Im walking in. The bags go with and I never worry about having a back up or change of situation to deal with. Maybe we can get terry a golf cart for the trailer park? But seriously I have considered a dolly, you know the one that holds the 5 gallon bucket.

I could see a long backpack on some occasions. I like to ride my mountain bike into some spots. But I've never seen the point in carry bags when going on hunts. It's not any easier or any more portable than just simply carrying the machine.

 

[fish1on]

I agree that a bag is pretty much useless as far as for my needs. BUT...I do need the ability to travel (In vehicle) and keep what I spent a lot of money on safe from bouncing around and damaging anything. I store my machine (Soon to be machines) out in the open in the house (Like to look at them) LOL but travel in my custom case.

I picked this up from a friend that fly's RC helicopters and added/modified the foam. Holds detector, shafts, coils, batteries, earbuds, etc, all in one case to fit your needs. I only have to break down my F70 in half so setup take down is quick.

 

[jjack9977]

I can totally get it in that circumstance. And I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes to admire my machines. I have them out on display too, although the only one I'm very proud of at the moment is my F-75. The F70/75 is one of the best looking machines out there. Although I love the performance of the whole fisher lineup, the rest of the field leaves a lot to be desired in the aesthetics department lol.
