Chris,
Any issues or things that you wish were added or different? I have the ability to manufacture items similar to this and before I made one for myself, I thought I would see if improvements were needed.
Thanks
I've been thinking about the ideal detecting pouch for dirt hunting.
First, it has to be heavy duty, but not too heavy.
I would prefer one that sits well on a thick and wide (like 2") web belt. Not one that has a belt sewn onto it already. One wide belt sleeve might be better than the 2 loops like the pack mule.
I also prefer a good mesh bottom instead of solid or grommeted. Super tough mesh. No wimpy stuff. 6 to 10 mesh sounds about right.
Next, I'd like to see it have a slim, separate coin/jewelry pouch that also has a mesh bottom, and lifts out separately for the end-of-hunt pouch dump. This smaller inner pouch should be able to clip inside the bigger trash pouch toward the front or the rear, so it can be custom for left or right side use and personal preference. Not too big of an opening, though. Big enough to easily drop coins in without looking, but still leave a lot of room for the trash pouch opening.
Stiffener rims too...as mentioned, so neither pouch collapses.
Digger and pinpointer sheaths are not important to me, as I can put these on my belt separately if I want. These may be preferred by others, though.
A water bottle pouch on the side would be nice.
No zippers or Velcro.
One utility pocket for a small squirt-cleaning bottle and brush, etc. I think this pocket should be on the outside, but with an easy access flap or something to keep the contents from easily falling out. No zipper.
Basic black or other low-key earthy tones, camo, etc.
I will mention(FYI)that it is not important to avoid any metal parts in construction, as it will be filled with metal targets anyway.
Simple, tough, and functional with ease. Haven't seen one like this yet.
