Situation:
Shelle wants the spare room back for guests. But I will still need to store our MD equipment in there. Right now everything in spread out all over the place. The main thing is to get the bulky things up off the floor.

Mission:
Find something to 1) store the scoops, diggers, pouches, headphones, pinpointers, etc. in a compact, yet easy access area and 2) figure out how to hang 3 light weight Metal Detectors (DFX, MXT & a BH) up off the floor.

Progress to date:
[attachment 26964 Lockers.JPG]
Yesterday, I got an old multiple PE verticle locker (5 sm lockers shown above) in pretty good shape for just $2, so that will take care of Mission 1; but now I still need to hang the 3 detectors to acccomplish Mission 2. How do I do that?!!

Ideally, I'd like to get some sort of padded hook (sorta shaped sorta like a large tuning fork) that I could put into the dry wall to simply hang them. But I'm not sure if there is a way to do that or even if there is even such a hook that would support the detector.

Anybody have other ideas? I am in NO way a carpenter or even very mechanically adept. A free-stand on the floor is NOT an option! Shelle wants the floor space.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Art,

Thanks for the idea about a PE locker. If I can find one, it will help me a lot.

Regarding your "Mission 2" issue:

I have seen vertical lockers about the same height as the one you have but with a single door. They usually have a clothes hook on each side and one in the back. If your detectors have "stands" on them, they could easily hang from those hooks.

I realize you said no free-standing item. But, you already have one free-standing locker.

Just an idea ..... Bob

For storing your detectors....go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get a couple. They usually screw into the wall and are built to withstand the weight of bike, so I think you're detector is safe unless you haven't updated since the stone age
