[attachment 85977 _IGP4155.JPG] The new bag, not a stiff as the old one.
My Ace 250 came with the
carry bag and it worked good for a while till I wanted to pack all of my digging and sifting junk in it and lug it through the woods for a couple of miles. For one it was too small and didn't have any pockets to squirrel away tools and other such goodies. I was wondering around Wal-Mart and found this bag for $9.82, cheaper than the bag and with a few pockets.
[attachment 85978 _IGP4158.JPG] But it holds lots of junk!
It has a large expandable pocket on one end that holds my Frisbee/sifter and other large junk, a nice pocket on the front to hold my Sniper coil, a mesh pocket on the other end I figure I can throw my treasure in as I dig it up or just slide in a bottle of water (or beer or 3). It has a lot more room on the inside making it easy to break the Ace down and just slip it in, there is also plenty of room in the main compartment for my bag of excavation tools with maybe enough room left for my S-1 as a back-up too. Now I have a secure place to put my headphones, spare batteries, MP3 player, camera, paper towels, and other assorted junk plus lunch. The bag can be found in the luggage section at Wally-World, it is easy to miss as it comes collapsed into a package about 12 x 12 x 3 inches.

I didn't just throw the Garrett bag in the closet to hide with the dust bunnies, I folded it neatly and placed it in the bottom of the main compartment, it will help pad the detector(s) and add a little stiffness to the new bag, I also might store the Ace in the bag inside the new bag for extra protection while climbing the mountains here in Florida. Too bad it doesn't say on the outside! Will be lugging it through the bushes and weeds this weekend on a "Field Test", well maybe not lugging it around since it came with a cheap shoulder strap that I swapped for the better one on the bag. Happy hunting all and I hope you find this helpful.
