Here is a stand I made out of some scrap 3/4 brass stock I had. I used the large fiber washers because I had them that big, they could be smaller. The idea is so the stand will not scratch the paint on the detector. I replaced the screws with ones that are just a little longer than the originals.

Make the center section of the 1/2 " longer than the detector box, ( 5 1/2") than add for the two sides. My stand is 2" high so the brass was (2 + 5.5 + 2 = 9 1/2"). Drill the two holes for the screws and bend the two sides in a vise. You can make the stand higher or wider. Keeps the detector off the ground when I'm digging. Rob

I keep mine tight. If the screws are not as tight it will rotate up for storage. Again, the washers keep the paint from scaring when rotated. The bow in the bottom was intentional.
