Thank you for that. I don't think people realize what a game changer it is. It's not enough to have a bungee, you have to have one that is instantaneously adjustable even in mid swing. And any bungee cord doesn't work. Almost all bungees are 100% stretch. That's too stretchy, because it causes a lot of bouncing around. My Nugget Stalker bungee is custom made Marine Grade with a UV Protected Dacron Polyester cover and is made with only a 50% stretch. That's enough stretch for you to move it comfortable but not so much that your coil is bouncing up and down on the ground as you swing it. I've said this before, but to get it custom made to my specifications I had to order 6000 meters which is over 3.5 miles. I have 30 rolls with 200 meters on each roll. I have to invent something else that needs bungee cord because I have plenty. Doc

Search Bar guys! Upper right hand corner. Type in Swingy Thingy and ENTER Next thing that appears after you do a Search on Swingy Thingy is all the listings containing SWINGY THINGY Those darn SEARCH BARS can be tricky. 😂 Sorry you had issues navigating. And I agree the website could be better organized. I hired a guy Minelab recommended years ago. He took all my money and left the website 1/2 completed. Then I had to find someone to come in and pick up where he left off. Well you know that never works out the way you would like it to. Thank you for your patience, Doc

Guys you're killing me! The post stated: "I use the predecessor to the Dalas harness with Quipple Bungee (called the Doc's Ultra Swingy Thingy - discontinued at Doc's site" Since when? I still sell a load of Ultra Swingy Thingy's and we have the new Regular Swingy Thingy Version 2.0 for lighter detectors. Here's the link to the Ultra Swingy Thingy: https://docsdetecting.com/product/docs-new-ultra-swingy-thingy/ Doc

Hey I'm all for do it yourself. But I'm a professional equipment developer. You see with my Qwipple and Qweegle bungees there is no issue with adjusting for length because you can adjust it perfect in mid swing without ever stopping.

Less I have mislead anyone this is an entire complex of 29 warehouses. I only own one. I'm pretty big, but not that big. I have about 4 million dollars in inventory. It's almost like a Warehouse condo complex. Every warehouse will be owned by whomever buys it. It will have a club house with meeting rooms, and it will have a Warehouse Owners Association. Here's a video of the complex. Doc

I've had several people that have been use to the HipStick tell me that you can wear the DALAS Rod the same way. If you prefer, just clip the paddle into the side of your pants like you would do with the HipStick. Then manipulate the DALAS fully adjustable Rod to your comfort level, and you're ready to go. That is the unique thing about the DALAS Rod it is fully adjustable for your comfort level. Get it set up right. Put in the four screws to lock in the adjustment, and your ready to detect in comfort. If you look at the picture above, it is set up to put the paddle in the middle of your back. So just imagine that you stick the paddle in your side. Now all you would do is rotate the bungee attachment ring 90 degrees clockwise so the ring would be laying flat on the floor. So the paddle and the ring would be on the same plane. Now you have the same configuration as the HipStick, but with what I think are enhanced features. Doc

Well I'm not in there yet. They said it would be finished at the end of June 2025. I laughed at that. I thought, NO WAY! And I was right. They were down for two months because their FAA permit to build, (They are in the flight path of the Henderson Executive Airport) expired. They didn't know that it has to be reviewed and reapproved every year. (Does not instill confidence in their management team.) So now they say, end of September. I just laughed and laughed. I'm predicting maybe December. However, they are really kicking butt now and making progress. This will be a mail order warehouse only. Sorry no visitors. The license class does not allow a walk in retail business. Which to be honest is fine. When you have 40 to 60 packages to mail out and some new guy wants to come in and "look around" it is not good for production. Don't get me wrong, I love to help new guys. However the best way for me to do that is on the phone when I have time to call them back. The stories I have heard that take over an hour to tell. "I got this here at a yard sale. It's an old Radio Shack. Paid $20 for it. Come out to the truck and see what I've found. 2 five gallon buckets of trash. "Man this thing really works, but I can't find gold." God love them. Reminds me of me. Started off looking for gold nuggets in 1990 with an Excalibur. HEY! The box said it was "Hot on Gold." I didn't know it was a VLF coin and relic beach machine. Perfect machine for hunting in the desert where there isn't a beach for 300 miles. LOL Here's some pictures of the warehouse complex. Anyway we are making progress on the new location. And before the rumors get started that can range from "I think Doc got a kidney removed, or I think Doc has Kidney cancer, or I think Doc got abducted by a flying saucer and is pregnant with an alien Hybrid. Yes I had a simple procedure. I had a simple cyst on my kidney. 80% of people over 50 have them. They are benign, usually cause no problems. Unless they get large and press on other organs. Well mine became the size of a grapefruit. So I had to have it drained, and then they put medicine in it to make the wall of the kidney reattach to the kidney. 4 hour procedure and I was back at work the next day. I had to get it drained. It was competing for room with my enlarged prostate. LOL So again not dead yet. I will let all of you know when I die. Oh an this is totally unrelated, but going through all of my old files I found pictures of me when I was a police officer. A picture when I was in the Vice and Narcotics division as an undercover police officer and another from the newspaper, from the race riots of 1971, that's m e with the nightstick. And no I didn't hit her, she grabbed my baton, and kicked me in the crotch, and I wrenched the baton from her grip. Good hunting guys, can't wait for cooler weather to get here. Wish I had some gold to show you, but I'm not going prospecting in 112 degree heat. Be careful out there. Doc

Already saw it. I'm too busy filling orders for GSpots and Gpits, to do something else. Besides I have my hands full getting my warehouse I am currently in organized for the move to the new warehouse I purchased that is being built. Thank the good Lord my 16 year old grandson likes working for Grandpa, he's a great worker and organizer. Of course now he's the only one that knows where everything is. He found 4 brand new printers that I swear got lost on my last move. Still in the boxes, unopened. They were on the top of a 12 foot shelf behind tax records from 2008. I also found out that I have 4 -SD2200's, 2 SD2100's, 1 GPX4000 and I think a GP3000? Too much stuff! Doc

Yep those are the same I just don't carry the screaming orange ones because us prospectors like to be subtle. But like I said, I know you can find them cheaper because some places are closing them out. I'd buy the orange ones at $24, and spray paint that insert. They are great, and when you are on your knees next to a pile of dirt they are high and keep the dirt from going into the knee pad. Doc

I'm thinking you will need longer straps if you intend to wear these knee protectors on your rear end. 😁 Doc

Gang, Seriously these are the best knee pads EVER! They absolutely do not slip. The reason is because they are jointed. Before I found these I had bought about 7 different pairs from Home Depot. They all sucked. You do not have to buy them from me. Check around I thought I saw some guys closing them out. The company that made them sold out to a big company and the big company requires you to buy 144 at a time. So a lot of little guys quit stocking them and were closing out what stock they had left. https://docsdetecting.com/product/knee-pads-doc-endorsed-best-knee-pads-i-have-ever-used/ Also for those of you that want leg protection and knee pads, sorry I didn't get them with hard caps. it would have driven the price through the ceiling. Look at these Leg-Tecs I invented. These won't slip either but they will not protect your knees like the hard plastic ones above. https://docsdetecting.com/product/leg-gaiter-protection-docs-nugget-stalker-for-metal-detector-w-built-in-knee-pads/

Well I love that he really gave all the Swing Arms a good go over. See that is what I did before I got so disgusted with the shortcomings each one had I said, ENOUGH! Now obviously I did not try everyone, but I had used about 5 different iterations, and after the 5th break of the GPZ7000 Pro-Swing Squiggle part, I said, that's it! I'm going to take everything I know about what I hate and I'm going to fix it. (What really made me driven is I love the concept, because it just makes swinging so much more comfortable. More precise control etc. etc.) But then I went one step further. When I did YouTube videos I sometimes set up a tripod with my video camera on it and do a shot of me in a narrow gully reaching out to detect up the side around the back of the bushes that line the gully. I noticed the contortion I have to put my body through to turn the coil at a 45 degree angle to accommodate the slope. I mean you have to counter the weight of the coil and twisting it with your entire body. It's a leverage thing. And basically your body is at the wrong end of the brick on a stick. So I set out not to design just a Swing Arm, but a Guide Arm. A virtual "JOY STICK" for your detector that gives you amazing control over your coil and detector. This all happens because of the unique design of the SWIVEL JOINT, which not only allows never before achieved control over your detector, but totally eliminates breakage. Why hasn't anyone else done this? Because it was really expensive. Kevin Hoagland did a great write up in the GPAA Magazine on how to fight detecting fatigue and did a great video on the SAGA that shows exactly why I call it the "SWING ASSIST GUIDE ARM" or a "JOY STICK" for your detector. Start at time mark 6:18. Hey I'm 76, the ol' body can't do what it use to so I need help. Happy Detecting, see ya' on down the track! Doc

They compared many different Swing Arms. Want to guess which one came out on top? I have no idea who this person is that did the comparison. He did have some interesting modifications, which I like. Some real simple DIY mods involving a simple bungee. https://tolnix.com/gpz-7000-swing-stick-guide-arm-review/ Doc

Please message me if you are. I need to ask some questions. Thanks! Doc
