Ok gents, I am always on the look out to see what would make a good travel bag for whatever future trip I may take with the detector while on vacation. Years ago I took my CZ on a cruise and the detector came in its own travel case so that was good. I had a hard time with the scoop and handle which they considered “a weapon” but eventually handed it over to Carnival and then Carnival gave it to me while the ship was offshore.
Last night, I came across this snow board bag that’s almost new that my neighbor 2 houses down threw away. Today, I was able to dry fit and snuggly close the bag with the Stealth and its handle. Since it’s a soft bag, my biggest concern would be damage to my Excal on a flight. I have looked at it carefully and thought that if I put my control pod near the scoop and packed it within a big pool noodle that it would give it adequate protection and the scoop would keep it from getting crushed in checked luggage. I have also thought of encasing the coil in some thin plywood for protection? In addition, I would probably also fill it with clothing items. What say you? Is my plan not advisable? Do you have other ideas or suggestions to make this work? Or should I just buy specific travel handles for my scoop and travel shaft for the detector and try to make it fit in a carry on? Please note: I’m also thinking I might have an issue with a pointy metal scoop on a plane’s carry-on.
