Once I get those Grey Ghost speakers I know I will. Without the headphones I am deaf so why even try.

U bet ur sweet a..... Yes.. yes, I do... Until lightning is literally striking the ground a couple miles away, then I run home like a scared little girl... The main reason I got the atp is bc it loves water as much as I do... But, I'm n ks, so saltwater beaches arnt a problem for me....nor will they ever be..(hopefully...... That'd b one hell of a catastrophe to cause saltwater beaches to b here)... Wife thinks I'm crazy rain hunting... I tell her its better hunting wet ground.. ...didn't tell her that rain doesn't INSTANTLY make a foot deep of dirt wet... ..but, she's a smart woman, and probly just let's me go to get me out of her hair :)

Oh bring the rain. Nothing like being the only one at a park because of a few sprinkles. Add a few extra inches of depth. Yea, i do a rain dance on occasion.

Ohh yea forgot to add the fact that wet ground can be penetrated deeper than dry soil and its win win, less people and deeper finds.

Yep! Yesterday I got my years first silver. In the rain I might add. I would have had to pack it in and probably missed it if I had been using any of my other tectors!

My son showed up yesterday to stake out a spot where I am putting a shed, he informed me that he will be here tomorrow to prep the site and add stone to the area. Hell, there may be a pot of gold where that shed is going so in the rain I went and dug. I found one dime, a 1985 I believe, and an old piece of iron which looks like a turtle or snail with some weird markings on the side. I am guessing it is Indian artifact but I haven't had the time to research it. And today I am hanging with my two year old grandson so it will be nothing but trucks digging in the dirt.

:thumbsup: Congtrats! Yes I do hunt when rain is forcast,and if it starts sprinkling,I just keep hunting worry free! I did go out to hunt one day while it was raining. I was worried about the "stock" headphones that came with the ATP,but soon figured out that all I had to do was wear a poncho with a hood on it and the headphones stayed dry. It wasn't a problem,at all! Now I carry the poncho with me when I go and don't worry about the rain. My knees still get wet though!:dontknow: My poor ATP looked like it had been in a "mud bogg" race!:laughing7: When I got home,I just truned the garden hose on it,and sprayed it off,then dried it off with a towel,and she was ready to go again!

I have good quality rain gear i use for fishing. The AT is waterproof, but it's no fun when you're soaked to the bone and freezing.

Last weekend it rained and provided the perfect oppuntunity for me to detect a few places that are usually pretty busy with people. . . there was not a soul around at any time which made it really nice - Saturday I just finished up a site when a downpour started in but Sunday I hunted during a steady drizzle. . . . I swear that I heard TheATPro let out a few contented quack quacks. Lol ! ! !
