Review — Performance & Use

Nokta’s Finds Pouch hits the classic brief many UK detectorists want: zipped security, a sensible size, and a friendly price. On pasture and plough the three‑zip layout makes sense—one large compartment for the day’s iron and lead, a second for keepers, and an internal ‘safe’ pocket to park fragile bits when you’re a field or two away from the car. The included belt adjusts from about 77 cm to 140 cm, so winter waterproofs or slimmer summer layers are covered. The external webbing takes a pointer holster or small tool loop so your essentials ride on the pouch rather than wandering round your waist. Because all the storage is zipped rather than open‑topped, the bag behaves differently to a mesh‑bottom design. On sticky clay pasture you won’t shed soil as you walk, but you also won’t risk tiny hammered slipping out through mesh. That trade‑off is worth calling out: if you spend lots of time on wet sand or wading, a draining pouch like the Garrett or Searcher PRO is easier to live with; if your permissions are mostly inland, zipped security is reassuring. Build quality is decent for the money and several UK retailers have carried the pouch for years, which tells you it finds buyers. User chatter in UK groups is mixed: some owners are perfectly happy, while a few complain the belt attachment can fail after a few months if heavily loaded. Taken seriously, that’s a nudge to treat the supplied belt as a starter—if you routinely lug kilos of scrap off plough, thread the pouch onto a quality 2‑inch webbing belt or your backpack hip‑belt and you’ll remove the weak point. In the field the Nokta works best as an organised, medium‑capacity carrier for inland hunts. Load the junk into one zip area, keep the keepers apart, and stash the delicate bits inside the internal pocket. On slippy slopes or when you’re crawling through tramlines, the zip closures are confidence‑boosting; nothing tumbles out. Specs like the belt range, pocket count and webbing are confirmed by Nokta’s product page (Sourced from outside the UK) and mirrored by UK sellers. If you want a tidy, zipped pouch for farmland days and accept that you’ll swap outright drainage for security, the Nokta is easy to recommend—especially as a first ‘proper’ pouch stepping up from a generic bum bag.

Quoted Insights

A UK Facebook group post highlights the weak‑point some users meet: "I’ve got the Nokta finds pouch, but the belt strap has torn off after a few months," which warns heavy loaders to consider a sturdier belt or lighter scrap habits. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1544655495827569/posts/3563251653967933/ Retailers emphasise the practical spec—three zipped pockets, 77–140 cm belt, and thick webbing—so buyers know it’s aimed at organised everyday inland detecting rather than water wading. https://www.noktauk.com/products/nokta-makro-finds-pouch Nokta’s own page lists the same features in plain language, aligning expectations with what UK owners report in practice. https://www.noktadetectors.com/accessory/nokta-finds-pouch/ Taken together, sentiment sits in the "good value and organised" camp with caveats about belt longevity when abused.

Pros

    Secure zipped storage with internal pocket for delicate finds, Broad belt adjustment fits winter layers, External webbing accepts pinpointer/tool holsters, Good value and widely stocked in the UK

Cons

    No mesh drainage so soil and water can build up on wet ground, Supplied belt/attachment can be a weak point under heavy loads per user reports, Smaller overall than big multi-pocket ‘pro’ pouches

Conclusion

As a practical, wallet‑friendly upgrade from improvised waist packs, the Nokta Finds Pouch delivers exactly what many UK inland hunters need: zipped security and enough organisation to separate scrap from keepers. It is not the last word in drainage or capacity, and if you habitually carry heavy scrap then pairing it with a sturdier belt is smart. If your permissions skew toward pasture and arable and you value keeping tiny bits zipped away, it’s a sound pick; for frequent wet‑sand sessions the Garrett or Searcher mesh‑bottom designs are better matched.
