A detector support apparatus 1 comprises a harness 3 configured for engagement with the torso 4 of a user 2. A pivot arm 6 has a proximal end configured to pivotably engage with the harness and extends upwardly and forwardly from the harness such that, in use, a distal end of the pivot arm extends forwardly of the user. An engagement mechanism 9 at the distal end of the pivot arm is used to attach a detector 10. The detector may be an electronic ordinance detector, mine detector, metal detector or any detector designed to be used in a sweeping motion over the ground. The detector is supported in front of the user's body by the pivot arm and can then be swept across the front of the user's body by pivoting of the arm about the harness using minor effort by the user's hand and arm. At least a portion or substantially all of the detector's weight is transmitted to the torso of the user via the pivot arm and harness.
