I was out detecting today and found a small bungee cord. I thought maybe I could attach it to my belt and then to the detector to help with the weight. So I look down and the detector and low and behold there is a place to hook the cord up to the detector. I tried it out for a few minutes and it really did seem to help reduce the weight. With the hook turned the other way it would fall of when I lifted the detector. Seems like it would be a quick easy way to take some of the weight off your arm.
