DetectorPro Metal Detector Hip Hanger for Hands-Free Digging

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger is compatible with all metal detector brands and models that have a carry handle or stem grip for the webbing strap to wrap around. The adjustable strap fits handle diameters from 1 inch to 3 inches, covering Minelab, Garrett, Fisher, Nokta, XP, and other manufacturers' standard carry handles. The belt clip attaches to any belt loop, belt edge, finds pouch strap, or backpack webbing, so compatibility is universal across detector setups. Detectorists working custom stem configurations or detectors without a dedicated carry handle can loop the strap around the lower stem section above the coil mount.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger features a spring-loaded clip and nylon webbing strap designed to support metal detectors during hands-free digging and searching. The clip's metal hardware and webbing construction allow the Hip Hanger to suspend your detector at hip level when you release it to dig targets, preventing you from dropping the detector or setting it on the ground. The system keeps your detector secure while you work, whether you're attaching the clip to your belt loop, belt edge, finds pouch, or backpack webbing.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger attaches to finds pouches and backpacks by clipping the spring-loaded clip to the pouch's belt loop or the backpack's hip-belt webbing. This setup distributes the detector's weight across the pouch or pack rather than your waistband, which reduces hip strain on long hunts. The webbing strap still wraps around the detector's carry handle or stem grip, and the clip-and-strap system allows you to swing the detector freely when a target is located, then let it hang from the pouch or pack when you're digging. Detectorists working with large capacity finds pouches (the type with reinforced belt loops and multiple pockets) mount the Hip Hanger to the pouch's side loop for balanced weight distribution.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger attaches in two steps: first, clip the spring-loaded metal clip to your belt loop, belt edge, finds pouch strap, or backpack webbing. Second, wrap the adjustable nylon strap around your detector's carry handle or stem grip and secure it through the strap's buckle, pulling tight to eliminate slack. The strap should be snug enough that the detector hangs vertically when released, but loose enough that you can slide the detector up and out of the loop when you need to swing it. Once you've adjusted the strap length to fit your detector's handle diameter, the attachment process is quick and straightforward.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger allows you to swing your detector freely during scanning. When you lift the detector to search for targets, you can raise it to chest height and swing it in a normal arc. When you release the detector to dig a target, the strap catches the weight and the detector hangs at hip level, still attached to your belt or pouch. Detectorists working tight brush or obstacle-heavy terrain appreciate that the Hip Hanger prevents the detector from snagging on branches or rocks when set down, since it stays suspended rather than resting on the ground. The hands-free design lets you focus on digging without worrying about where you've placed your detector.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger's webbing strap wraps around your detector's carry handle or stem grip and secures through the strap's buckle. The buckle allows adjustment of the strap length to fit your detector's handle diameter, and you can loosen the adjustment to remove the strap when needed. The Hip Hanger is designed for easy attachment and removal, giving you flexibility in how you set up your detecting gear.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger is constructed from nylon webbing and metal clip hardware. The materials used in the Hip Hanger's construction are standard for field accessories designed for outdoor detecting use. After hunts in wet conditions, rinse the Hip Hanger with fresh water to remove salt or sand, then air-dry the webbing and clip before storage to maintain the hardware's condition. Regular cleaning and drying help preserve the Hip Hanger's functionality across multiple detecting seasons, whether you're working dry land sites or beach environments.

The DetectorPro Hip Hanger is covered by DetectorPro's manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship. If the spring-loaded clip fails to hold tension or the nylon webbing frays under normal use, contact DetectorPro or Serious Detecting for warranty service. The Hip Hanger's construction features metal hardware and nylon webbing designed for regular field use, and the warranty ensures you're protected if manufacturing defects affect the product's performance. Proper care and maintenance of the Hip Hanger will help ensure long-term reliability during your detecting adventures.
