field use carrying case for wireless module WM10

[relic605]

I was looking for a way to carry the wireless module in the field, and I found a good way to do it. All it takes is a medium Bytech universal smartphone case and some Velcro (both available at Walmart). The wireless module fits tightly into this particular case, so you can take a pair of sharp scissors and cut the fold over top off the phone case without any danger of the module falling out of the case. By removing the cover flap off of the phone case, that opens the top where you can easily plug your headphones into the module. Then, I took some Velcro, and attached it to the upper, left chest of my hunting vest that I wear while detecting, and I covered the back of the phone case with Velcro, also--around the area where a small piece of Velcro that held the top flap of the phone case in place when it was closed. Then, I attached the phone case with the wireless module inside to the upper-left chest of my hunting vest. This way, your headphone jack is not hitting on your side as it does with the belt clip, and it has less signal interference than putting the module in a pocket. Just thought I would share this with other 3030 users.

This sounds great! Perhaps you could post a pic?

Thanks for sharing that....

It sound like a better setup than what I use;
I take the WM10, put it in a small plastic shopping bag from 7-11 or Safeway.

Then fold it over, wrap it all up, and hold the bag in place with a rubber band.
Finally, I poke a small hole for the 1/4" jack, and put the whole thing in my shirt pocket.

It's very water resistant, that way...but it's also very ghetto.

As much as it costs, I think it's a great idea to protect the WM10 from scuffs and damage.
I didn't do anything for my first one, and it looks like it's been thrown from a moving car.

fwiw,, I use a MOLLE small carrier and place it at a 8oclock position on my belt. $5 at a gunshow.

I'm curious as to why you say you get interference from in a pocket. I always carry mine in my pants pocket with the cord threaded down my shirt and have never noticed an issue with interference. Is that a common thing?

What I ran into carrying it in my pocket, would be interruptions in the signal--like the pressure of being in my pocket would shift the headphone jack and the signal would be lost completely on an intermittent basis.

Zip Lock for phone, keys, etc. in high pockets for normal shallow beach hunting. Leave in car if likely to go above knee deep. I have a spare key on D-ring on belt just in case I need it. But I don't usually use WM10 at the beach.

I make leather cases for the WM 10 and digging tools, pinpoints. If you are interested I will send you a photo.
