Hi All, I must confess that I fell victim to the commercialization of metal detecting. In my zeal to get the "coolest and latest" gear, I purchased a new finds bag from Gray Ghost (Ultimate Catch All Bag). I spent 40 bucks on the bag. I figured that this bag would make my time in the field more enjoyable and efficient. Boy was I wrong. I was immediately disappointed in the quality of the bag. The material the bag was made from looks and feels cheap and the bottom of the bag is a thin mesh that doesn't look like it will stand up to many sharp trash objects that are dug up. The pin pointer gets caught on the sleeve when you try to place it in and the end of the pin pointer goes all the way in making it tricky to grab from the head of the pointer. I am using a Garrett Pin Pointer 2. I wish now that I would have saved my money and stuck to what I was using before. I was using a nylon carpenters nail bag that I already had and I modified one side to attach the pin pointer case that came with the pointer. It worked fine and will stand up to any sharp objects. I guess I learned a valuable lesson that the latest and greatest "shiny" thing is not always the best. Thanks for letting me vent. I hope this will be of some use to all the folks just getting into the hobby. HAPPY HUNTING!
