I have a side arm attached to the wand for three point detecting. It has been so long ago that I bought it, I don't remember where I got. Anyone know where I can get another like it? GEDC1443.JPG

Some of us here I'm sure really are in the dark as to what you call a "side arm attached to the wand for three point detecting". I think maybe you're talking about an ergonomic attachment supporting the swing of the detector.

Maybe a picture, clarification, any sort of manufacturing info you might have?

I came to see what y'all carried also. I tote a S&W model 10 .38 in a shoulder holster. It is sorta out of the way there. Oh yea, thats not what this thread is about. I did not know they made such a thing for your metal detector...d2

That's funny! I don't care who you are.

Anyways, even though I know its off topic, I will follow the trend....

Taurus "Slim" 9mm IWB with Hornady and ball ammo staggered. Sometimes my P-64 with Makarov 9mm. Maybe I misunderstood the question :D

No, I do believe he's talking about one of those ergonomic rods to help swinging his detector. I remember seeing some of them in the 80's

Ahhh.. Excellent edit, Pgleba. Looks like you could harness a golf club handle with a hold drilled through it and a quick ziptie set to your MD.

Question though.. It looks like (based on the size of the post) that your detector is really SHORT... Are you using this underwater or something?

Seems like that thing would require you to swing your entire torso back and forth at the hips, rather than just swing your arm.

I would get uncomfortable with that in a hurry.

Looks like the metal detector is being pictured upside down and the coil is just pivoted 180 degrees from normal hunting position....probably for transport.
