After looking around in the stores I've ruled out the soft rifle tote bags.  I found a 32" long tote bag similar to the bounty hunter bag that I am going to line with cardboard and foam rubber with a divider in the middle so that it will accommodate two detectors.

Mine are in the way.  I need a way to store them.  My wife says I look silly watching TV in the evenings with my MD's on my lap.  Hey, I like to look at them, what can I say.   Grin

I bought the longest plain bag I could find at Walmart for $14, then went over to the bedding and bought a twin size roll of foam for $10.  I went home and lined the inside of the bag with stiff cardboard so it would stay up (you know how it is).  Then I lined that with the foam rubber.  Both my REAL metal detectors (not the Micronta) and my pinpointer fit in the bag.  So now I'm happy.  I could have bought a better bag on line and paid $45 but I need instant gratification (you know how it is) and I did not want to wait.  I'll put up a pic if anyone is interested but its really pretty simple looking.  I didn't do a divider in the middle like I thought I would.

Oh, I almost forget.  There's a place here in town that makes vinyl stick-ons like bumper stickers.  I need to get one that says "Aluminum Recovery Technician"  and stick it on my bag.

The Bag Looks Good to me!! I may have to add some of that padding to my bag.
Thanks for the Idea.

Good idea, wrapping a couch around the bag.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Get some spray adhesive and attach the padding to the cardboard. then u wont have to worry about it falling or rolling under etc. If  your want to use the adhesive to attach the bag to the couch, i suggest u ask your wife first .  Grin Grin
