Thank-you for pointing me in the right direction for the postings on travelling with the detector, I am planning a trip to New Zealand for a few weeks in the future and was hoping to take the new detector with me. I would like to have it with me in the cabin, but getting it down to size might be a logistic problem, and now with the 1 bag limit imposed on most airlines, having a special case for the detector might not be an option. I will check in advance with the airline I am travelling with, and again, and I will try and post some of my findings on this board...........as soon as I figure out how to work with the postings, pictures, boards etc. Thank-you for your replies.

yes, paying for an extra bag isn't fun....which is why I like using one of the rolling duffel bags with the split (preferably rigid) bottom section such as these

The detector(s) and my snorkel gear go in the drop bottom with a bit of padding.  The clothes and various other items go in the top (conveniently providing an extra margin of cushioning.  Going with a light detector like the Fisher F4 or the Garrett Ace 350 and a maximum of 2 coils (standard and sniper), it's pretty easy to stay under the weight limits even packing for a two week stay in Hawaii.
