Abstract: A caddy for a metal detector comprising a completely non-metallic carrier for a portable metal detector of the type having a planar searchcoil head, an elongated rod or stem extending from the searchcoil head at one end to a handle at the opposite end, with an electronic power supply and controls at the handle end connected by a cable to the detector coils mounted in the searchcoil head. Such metal detectors are normally carried by hand. The present invention provides a caddy or cart having a pair of non-metallic wheels on a non-metallic axle supporting an elongated non-metallic connecting bar for connecting to the elongated rod or stem of the metal detector by a pair of adjustable non-metallic brackets at a desired point thereon which positions the searchcoil head of the metal detector a pre-selected distance above the ground when the handle end is grasped by a user and held at the angle which positions the planar searchcoil head substantially parallel to the ground.
