I am in the process of designing a water pouch, other than having a quick release belt, a solid pouch with Velcro and another bigger inner pouch with mesh & bigger for trash what would you like to see in a water pouch? Thanks for your input.

Any chance you can install a compass that points torwards the nearest piece of lost gold?
 
Bill, I made one out of scrap vinyl that worked well, but I cut off part of the velcro as it was a pain to always fight with it to open it. I added a small tube that sticks up for dropping the coins, rings in where they can't get washed out again. I added screened holes for sand and water to drain too. I think it is important for the public to not be able to look in your pouch to see any coins or gold, so a screened side for trash would be OK.

If it did I wouldn't be able to keep them in stocck lol
 
I was doing the same thing! It sounds like you have it covered except on mine I was attaching a compartment for a water bottle. I get so thirsty and it's a long way back to the car to get a drink of water.
 
[size=14pt]Two items to possibly add. One to hold a bottle of water for drinking. The second would be a small pocket or holder that could hold a 35mm film canister. If you keep the cover on and put a slit in the top you can drop coins or rings in without taking off the top. This would also keep them safe until you got home to open the container and check out all your goodies.
 
for water hunting , A hidden zippered pocket for me is a must and fine mesh in the bottom that will let the sand escape . also if would be nice if it had a snap to hold it closed ( and no velcro ) but when unsnapped it would naturally pop open far enough to get your hand in so you dont have to always fumble with opening it just to drop a bottle cap in . another detail that would be handy is to put a short lanyard inside with a key ring on it so you can keep a spare car key permanently attached to the pouch . so you can just leave your set of keys and expensive key fob's locked in your car . i have been doing that for years . and you dont have to worry about loosing your key ring while out in the water.
 
mine is vinal ,8" deep and 5" wide with belt loop.the bottom 1" is mesh to allow sand to escape.it came with velcro top closer, it was a pain in the a$$ to open it with one hand so i put duct tape over the velcro and that works great and nothing comes out.i liked it so well i bought 2 of them,glad i did i dont think they make them now.
 
id like to find who sells this one?

I searched and searched for that one and have been told over and over that it is no longer sold. What a shame!
