Hi Perez,
I strongly recommend the book,"Taking a Closer Look at Metal Detector Discrimination, "by Robert C. Brockett. It helped make sense how a detector works and the ranges of the VDI's we see on the MXT. It also emphasized what falls in each range. Some interesting stories about the authors adventures as well. Not bad for around $9.00. Most metal detector sites have a book section of which this should be listed. This book was written when detectorist worked from needle readings but the data is ageless.
Also regarding pouches. You can purchase a carpenter's framing pouch, which is made out of soft leather, from Home Depot or Lowes for about $9.00. It has two large pouches and 4 small tool holders, 2 on each side, for screw drivers, etc.
I use the larger inner pouch for my finds since it is deep. I use the smaller outer pouch for trash. You can take a long narrow screw driver and force an opening at the bottom on the 4 smaller tool holders to allow the tool you use to hang through. I carry two screw drivers as well. One honed down like an ice pick and the other is a heavier wider screw driver for when I hunt in rock parking lots. Great for breaking a few rocks lose.
Or you can purchase a pouch specifically for metal detacting for about $40. Your choice.
