Minelab Backpack, Carry Bags and Finds Pouches

Minelab bags, a backpack and finds pouches for carrying, storing and hunting with your detector. The Minelab Detector Backpack has a padded 23 x 12 x 4.5 inch main compartment, and Minelab packs the same backpack in its own MANTICORE and EQUINOX 900 bundles. The 54 inch padded carry bag takes a full-size detector assembled with the coil on, and Minelab makes fitted bags for the VANQUISH, GO-FIND and SDC 2300. For the belt, the gray and black Finds Pouch measures 12 x 7.5 x 6 inch, and the red Tool and Finds Bag is easy to spot in grass or sand. Two carry bag and pouch combos round out the collection.

Minelab Bags, Backpack and Pouches in One Place

Every bag and pouch on this page is a Minelab accessory. They fall into three groups. The Minelab Detector Backpack carries the Minelab MANTICORE, EQUINOX 700 and 900, X-TERRA PRO, X-TERRA ELITE and VANQUISH 360, 460 and 560, and the 54 inch padded carry bag takes most full-size Minelab detectors assembled. Fitted bags for the VANQUISH, GO-FIND and SDC 2300 are cut for one detector family. The Finds Pouch and the Tool and Finds Bag ride on your belt or waist while you hunt, so your pinpointer, digger and finds stay out of your pockets.

The quickest way to choose is to start from your detector and how you travel with it. If you walk in to a site or want your hands free, look at the backpack. If the detector rides in a truck or car and you want it ready to swing, the 54 inch padded bag keeps it assembled. If you own a VANQUISH, GO-FIND or SDC 2300, the fitted bag for that detector is the neat option. Our staff transports their own machines in these exact bags, so ask us how your detector packs.

Which Minelab Bag Fits Your Detector?

The Minelab Detector Backpack is sized for the MANTICORE, EQUINOX 700, EQUINOX 900, X-TERRA PRO, X-TERRA ELITE and the VANQUISH 360, 460 and 560. It does not fit the VANQUISH 340, 440 or 540; for those, use the VANQUISH carry bag. Minelab includes this backpack in its own MANTICORE and EQUINOX 900 bundles. The main compartment measures 23 x 12 x 4.5 inch inside, the pack is 26 inch long, and the back with its flap measures 32 x 12 inch with an extra small accessory pocket. A padded interior and elastic straps hold the detector and accessories in place, and the shoulder straps adjust from 19 to 37 inch. The color is black camo.

The Minelab 54 inch padded carry bag measures 54 x 12 x 9 inch, long enough for the GPZ 7000 to go in assembled with its coil attached. It has canvas walls over padding and an exterior zip pocket for a hand digger, headphones and spare batteries. Minelab calls this bag its Universal Metal Detector Carry Bag, and it suits most full-size Minelab detectors when you would rather not break down the shaft between hunts.

The Minelab Deluxe Carry Bag is another large canvas bag with a roomy outside zipper pocket. Minelab designed it to hold the CTX 3030 and most detectors, even with a larger coil fitted. We sell it as a combo with a Minelab canvas tool and treasure pouch.

The Minelab VANQUISH carry bag is a canvas bag for the VANQUISH series with extra room for a larger coil, a padded shoulder strap that adjusts from 36 to 52 inch and a reinforced carry handle. It fits the VANQUISH 340, 440 and 540 as well as the VANQUISH 360, VANQUISH 460 and VANQUISH 560.

The Minelab GO-FIND carry bag is a black canvas bag about 26.5 x 8 inch with a zip front pocket and a shoulder strap that extends to about 48 inch. The GO-FIND 11, GO-FIND 22, GO-FIND 44 and GO-FIND 66 collapse to 21.9 inch (555 mm), so the folded detector goes in with the coil attached. The GO-FIND carry bag is not padded; it keeps the detector clean and carried as one piece.

The Minelab SDC 2300 carry bag is Minelab's soft, custom fitted bag for the SDC 2300, shaped to that detector's folded profile for hike-in prospecting trips.

Minelab Detector Backpack, Best For:

  • MANTICORE, EQUINOX 700, EQUINOX 900, X-TERRA PRO and X-TERRA ELITE owners who walk in to permissions, beaches and parks
  • Detectorists who want both hands free on the way to the site
  • Keeping the detector, headphones, pinpointer and spare gear together in one pack

Minelab 54 Inch Padded Carry Bag, Best For:

  • GPZ 7000 owners who leave the detector assembled between hunt days
  • Truck and car transport, where padding protects the control box and coil
  • Full-size detectors with a large coil fitted

Fitted VANQUISH, GO-FIND and SDC 2300 Bags, Best For:

  • Owners who want a bag cut to their detector instead of a one-size bag
  • Closet and trunk storage that keeps the detector clean
  • Light carrying on short walks and hike-in trips

Finds Pouch and Tool and Finds Bag, Best For:

  • Any detectorist, with any brand of detector, who wants finds and trash out of their pockets
  • Carrying a pinpointer and small digger at the hip
  • Long park and beach hunts where walking back to the car costs digging time

Finds Pouches and Belt Bags

The Minelab Finds Pouch in gray and black measures 12 x 7.5 x 6 inch (30 x 19 x 15 cm). Minelab gives it side pockets and a waist strap, so you can sort tools, finds and trash and keep your hands free while detecting. The Minelab Tool and Finds Bag is bright red with a belt loop, which makes it easy to spot if you set it down in tall grass or beach sand. Use one for finds and the other for tools if you like to keep them apart. Because both pouches mount on you, not on the detector, they work with any detector.

Bag and Pouch Combos

Two listings here pair a carry bag with a pouch. The 54 inch padded carry bag and Finds Pouch bundle combines the 54 x 12 x 9 inch bag with the matching gray and black 12 x 7.5 x 6 inch pouch. The Deluxe Carry Bag combo pairs the Deluxe bag with a Minelab canvas tool and treasure pouch that loops onto your belt and holds a few digging and retrieving tools.

Complete Your Recovery Kit

A bag protects the detector on the way to the site; the recovery kit does the work once you are there. We recommend adding a Minelab PRO-FIND pinpointer and a digger. The Finds Pouch holds a pinpointer and a small digging tool at your hip. For a closer look at how the backpack packs and what it holds, read our Minelab Detector Backpack review.

Which Minelab bag should I buy for my detector?

The Minelab bag to buy for a MANTICORE, EQUINOX 900, EQUINOX 700, X-TERRA PRO, X-TERRA ELITE or VANQUISH 360, 460 or 560 is the Minelab Detector Backpack, which is sized for those detectors and keeps your hands free.

VANQUISH, GO-FIND and SDC 2300 owners have bags fitted to those detectors; the VANQUISH carry bag fits the VANQUISH 340, 360, 440, 460, 540 and 560.

What is the difference between the Minelab Detector Backpack and the Minelab 54 inch padded carry bag?

The Minelab Detector Backpack and the Minelab 54 inch padded carry bag differ in how you carry them and how much of the detector stays assembled. The backpack has a padded 23 x 12 x 4.5 inch main compartment, adjustable shoulder straps and elastic straps for accessories, and it is the backpack Minelab includes in its own MANTICORE and EQUINOX 900 bundles. The 54 inch bag measures 54 x 12 x 9 inch, so a full-size detector such as the GPZ 7000 goes in assembled with its coil. We recommend the backpack for walking in to a site and the 54 inch bag for vehicle transport. Both are on our Minelab carry bags page.

Answered by Dan P. · October 2026

Do Minelab finds pouches work with detectors from other brands?

Yes, Minelab finds pouches work with detectors from any brand, because they mount on your belt or waist, not on the detector. The Minelab Finds Pouch measures 12 x 7.5 x 6 inch and has side pockets and a waist strap, and the red Minelab Tool and Finds Bag loops onto your belt. Only the fitted carry bags, such as the VANQUISH, GO-FIND and SDC 2300 bags, are cut for specific Minelab detectors. See all carry bags and pouches for other brands.

Are the bags and pouches in the Minelab carry bags collection genuine Minelab accessories?

Yes, every bag, backpack and pouch in our Minelab carry bags collection is a genuine Minelab accessory. Serious Detecting is an Authorized Minelab Dealer with a showroom in Ypsilanti, Michigan, so each one comes with the full manufacturer warranty, and our staff can help by phone or email. For the rest of a recovery kit, see our Minelab PRO-FIND pinpointers.
