Tom B Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 I am using a GPX 4500and at 67 years old, I don't swing like I use to, so I need all the help that I can get. I will mainly be hunt civil war relics in NW Arkansas, with a couple of nugget hunting trips to Colorado mountains, West of Pueblo I am looking at detector harnesses, and hydration backpacks, that have the D ring. I have the small lithium batteries, so 3 hours is plenty enough time to wear my old Jarhead a$$ out. Just wondering what you folks here on the forum are using harness or hydration backpack Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25616-metal-detector-harness/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickUK Posted March 3, 2024 Share Posted March 3, 2024 I use the GPX harness that came with the machine,absolutely no weight what so ever once you get the balance right,currently running a Coiltek 14x9 coil on the GPX and can swing it with just 2 fingers,well worth spending a few minutes working out the balance point on the shaft to attach the bungy cord. I just carry a small energy drinks bottle attached to my finds bag. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25616-metal-detector-harness/#findComment-270335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
