I don't plan on buying a Garrett MD, but i would like a backpack to carry mine. Does anyone know if any metal detector will break down and fit inside or just garrett models? Thanks.
I recently posted this on another thread but it seems appropriate here. It is my medium alice pack with frame. It can be had online or at your local army/navy store for cheap. You can strap anything to this frame (100+ lbs) and this thing can handle it.
I have the big Garrett backpack and I love it! Lots of internal pockets, shovel loops, padded straps, waist strap, etc.
Seems to be a well thought out pack for what we do.
Well some detectors will and some won't. You should list some of the detectors your interested in and maybe someone can comment on what size bag it will fit in. I'm not sure if I have the same Garrett backpack that everyone is commenting on but mine is the one that came with the AT Pro. It is a large backpack and it fits a ton of stuff but to me it is very thin and cheaply made. I am not impressed with the quality of mine.
I haven't been able to find another backpack like this one made by other companies, that's why I was wondering if this will fit other brands other than Garrett. Thanks!

Mine was starting to wear out. I happen to come across a hunting backpack at Costco. I don't remember the brand but I will post it later. It's a semi-rigid bag and extremely durable. It's also my favorite color, camo. I was running an AT at the time and not only did the detector fit nicely in the bag, there was a bow carrier on the outside of the bag that you could hang the detector from instead of taking it apart while trekking from one spot to another. I will post pics of the bag with my AT hanging on it. The SE that I run now sticks out of the top of the bag if I only break it in two. I have not tried the SE in the bow carrier yet.
