Had my feet up for a moment today waiting for the rain to stop, watching my first batch of jerky dry and the thought of hitting Hill End again running wild.
The desire to be the fastest gold digger on the Common meant I needed to emulate my childhood hero, the Cisco Kid and develop a QuickDraw holster for my SDC.
For those with an SDC know that the 'arm in-arm out-arm in-arm out" action on heavily junked goldfields means one of two things, slow and tedious, or no strap and fatigue.
Anyway, as with most of my crazy ideas, some PVC and a heat gun were put into action and I am happy with the result.
The fit is very snug for summer detecting but it feels good and I think it will give me the quickest draw on the fields. If it trials well I will make a slightly bigger one to suit winter pancho or jumper sleeves.
I think I may now need to get some tassels for my hat to complete the ensemble.
