The reason I wanted a short piece of cord between the kevlar and the probe was so the retraction mechanism of the key holder wasn't constantly pulling on the probe. I fastened that end around where the top screws off of the VibraProbe and tied the other end to the clip on the end of the Kevlar cord. When I got home, I took a short piece of strong cord and made a slip knot in one end. This one had a 40 inch Kevlar cord instead of a chain, as I wanted something strong but non-metallic. On the way home, I stopped at the local hardware store and bought one of those retractible key holders like you see clipped to a belt. At that moment, the gears inside my head started turning, trying to come up with something that would help avoid this happening again. I walked up and down those rows of downed corn stalks for over an hour before finding it. Long story short, having spent over $100 to purchase it, I wasn't about to leave it in the field. Realizing it had either slipped from the holster, or I had simply missed the holster when I put it away after locating my last target, I had to retrace my steps. several years ago, while detecting a harvested corn field, I reached for my VibraProbe and found it was not in the holster. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. The most valuable (to me) is the tether arrangement I use to keep from losing it while out hunting. Here are a couple pics of modifications I make to my handheld electronic Pinpointers.
