Default Idea for a metal detecting stand

Hi everyone

I would like to make a metal detecting stand to display my detectors, but I not much inspired right now to create something original, if you could share some ideas it would be nice.

As Booker said, a guitar stand of the right type would make an ideal way to display or store your MD when not in use. Here is the kind I have in mind.

I dug a bunch of horse shoes from an old Civil War site and welded them to form a detector holder. Have it on my detecting room wall. steve in so az
