Drop Leg Pouch & Holster for Pinpointer pin pointers (probe within reach)
Product description
What it’s for
A drop leg pouch with a matching holster is one of those “small change, big difference” accessories for metal detecting. Instead of putting your pinpointer down, juggling it in a pocket, or reaching into a bag mid-search, this one is designed to keep your pin pointer close and ready.
On paper, the main job here is pretty simple: hold your pin pointer securely, and give you a larger pocket for the rest of your detecting carry. It’s also positioned as a durable, finds-friendly setup—useful when you’re switching between scanning, pinpointing, and clearing small targets.
Where it stands out
The biggest draw is the practical layout. There’s a “big pocket” intended for your metal detecting accessories or for using it as a finds bag approach, depending on how you run your kit. In the middle of a hunt, that can save time and reduce faffing around.
You also get a holster designed around keeping the probe within reach. That’s the kind of feature you notice quickly: you’re not fishing for the pin pointer while you’ve got a hole open, you’re not trying to remember where you left it, and you can move more fluidly through the dig/pinpoint/confirm loop.
Compatibility you’ll want to double-check
The provided compatibility notes mention the following pin pointers: - Garrett ProPointer - Garrett AT - Minelab ProFind 25 - Deteknix pin pointer X-Pointer
That’s helpful, but it also means you shouldn’t assume it fits every pin pointer shape or size. If your pin pointer isn’t on the list, it could still work depending on dimensions and mounting fit, but you’ll want to be cautious and check before buying.
Key takeaways for everyday use
The overall theme is durability and accessibility. The design is described as durable and intended to keep the probe within reach, and the pocket is sized for accessories (and possibly finds in certain setups).
A realistic micro-scenario: imagine you’re working a patch where the targets are small and close together. You detect, stop, pinpoint with the probe, then move to confirm and dig. Having the pin pointer on your leg means you can grab it quickly, even when your hands are busy—especially if you’re carrying a scoop and gloves.
Still, there’s one limitation worth flagging: because it’s a drop-leg style carrier, it’s only as comfortable as your chosen setup. If you dislike leg-mounted pouches, or you wear bulky layers, it may feel more intrusive than a simple handheld carry.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want a more organised detecting carry and prefer your pin pointer in a consistent spot. If you often dig while holding your tools, or you’re tired of stopping to retrieve the probe from a pocket, this sort of holster/pouch combo is aimed at reducing that friction.
It may not suit you if: - you already carry your pin pointer in a way that works perfectly for you - you don’t like drop-leg gear or you need something ultra-minimal - your pin pointer model isn’t in the listed compatibility notes and you don’t want to gamble

In the box
The input doesn’t confirm what’s included beyond the drop leg pouch and holster, so it’s worth checking the listing details on amazon UK before you rely on it.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if your priority is keeping your pin pointer easy to grab during pinpointing and digging, and if one of the listed compatibility pin pointers matches your kit. The design focus on durability and “within reach” is exactly what you want for repeat use in the field.
You may want to skip it if you’re using a pin pointer that isn’t mentioned in the compatibility notes, or if you simply don’t get on with drop-leg carry. In those cases, a different carry approach could be less hassle than making your setup fit an accessory that wasn’t clearly designed for your specific probe.
