Steve: thanks for sharing. This is indeed good news. Am I correct in assuming that these will also work on the White's Goldmaster 24k? -

Gold Rush Camp Finds In The Heat
Cascade Steven replied to ROCKINGCM's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Congratulations on some very nice finds! When working such areas do you try to discriminate at all or just dig every target? -
Congratulations on a very nice "catch". Nice piece of equipment you are using too. 🙂

Congratulations on the gold finds. Gold is gold no matter what size. Get enough of them and they will add up to an ounce. 🙂
-
FB: Thanks for the heads-up. I for one am very glad to see that they have brought the Goldmaster 24k back onto the market and I wish them the very best with this new product.

Steve: Thanks for asking this question. A few quick thoughts as I may have more ideas later. My preference is defined by the metal detectors and multiple additional coils that I currently own. It would be a very durable (Pelican quality comes to mind) hard shell case with removable foam blocks, similar to a camera case so that it can be custom fitted to a specific metal detector; the removable foam blocks should be underlaid with a solid sheet of high density foam to give a minimum level of protection to the detector; enough space for two or three additional coils on lower rods; a fold down type handle (in the center and also on one end & preferably metal with reinforced attachment) and also an optional carrying strap; imbedded suitcase style wheels on the end opposite the end handle for towing through the airport; high quality metal latches (a minimum of two and preferably three to five with one on each end) to secure the case; either a strong hasp for a lock or a high quality combination lock on the case; if a hasp is used, the hasp area should be recessed so that the lock will not be sheared off by another nearby object; and a military grade (continuous with no seams) water proof seal. The case should be able to withstand high-impact sharp blow crushing forces of luggage loading and being dropped from the luggage door of an aircraft onto the tarmac (personal Alaska experience) with the case and contents undamaged. The case corners should be reinforced with either additional high-impact polymer or rounded metal corner shields to protect from corner impact damage. The case should be able to protect the contents from any damage due to a fall of at least 15 feet or about 5 meters (interior foam cushion designed accordingly). Color is not a major factor for me. If only one color was available I would choose black. A light gray or white color option might be nice for high heat areas such as desert environments. It would also be nice if it would float. I would personally prefer to have this unit made in America with rigorous quality control.
