I think he needs one of these
I will sit down and experiment with a 3 prong solution for triangle cuts tonight as I have some I would like to put on display.
Do you have a special pre-decimal date? If you do, and I have that date sixpence in my detector treasure chest, Ill be happy to donate one of my prototypes for you to put that great stone on display.

I can see myself getting into this one day. Something really appealing to me about taking a stone that is perhaps not so pretty, or has more potential than it's raw form, working out what I see in it then applying mathematics, geometries, skill and patience to turn it into something beautiful.
Nice work mate.

That's sooooo cool. 1958 is his year of birth.
He'll be so rapt when I tell him tomorrow.Thankyou again Wally.
I didnt stuff it up but cant seem to fine tune the symmetry of the prongs for the three sided stone.
Holds a round stone really well in my opinion, so will need to make one for myself now.
Made the stem a little longer for that flower-pot look.

Today I made a small stand for the Xterra705.I know it has a stand under the arm cuff but find the detector falls over a lot.The credit for this idea must go to Mr Flowerpot who made a bigger version for Mrs Pot.So a little bit if pvc pipe,some end caps,a small clamp that held a bicycle reflector and a bit of black spray paint and job done.Thanks Mr Pot for the idea.It seems to work pretty well and doesn't get in the way when swinging.
1st attempt at a lidded box today, glued 3 20x65x110mm lengths of jarrah together, just to play around. Quite happy with the result, could probably be better proportioned but ok for 1st attempt.

So there turned out to be a few problems with the little stand I made so I made a new version.On the original I only put one screw through the pvc pipe which allowed it to swivel back and collapse.The new version held up on yesterday's hunt so all good.
