Anyone use detector stands?

twistidd · Mar 8, 2009

I was thinking about picking up one of those little stands you can clip on the rod of a detector so that it doesn't get wet or muddy on the ground. It elevates the detector several inches. I wasn't sure if these were commercially available, I think the ones I saw were homemade but it was awhile ago. Any ideas??

Hey Joe, think about a lanyard? I use one when I'm in the river, shoulder strap. Dipping the unit does not bother me, it's a cz-20 but when wading with a non-submersible the lanyard gets a little tightened up, that's all.

The stands I seen just end up being romved after a day in the thick brush.

If it's for the whites, I can make one out of pvc (1/2" ) just go buy 2 Tee's --2 90 degree and 2 caps
If you want to you can stop by and I can whip you up one real quick free of charge ( I have the straight pieces )
I can cut the 1 tee real quick with my air cut off wheel then cement them together for you.

I've been thinking about this... because my E-Trac sometimes tips over.. wouldn't work on the E-Trac, but would on my DFX. They sell them painted black on eBay for $15 I think, but obviously Bob's offer is MUCH better!
