Discovery 2000 Water proof ?

[papa]

I know,it's not the best in the world,but it will have to do till I get back to work. Just how water proof is it,if any ? Wanted to go MD tomorrow,and it's pouring down rain now,and calling for more. Go or stay home ?

papa, if it wasn't sold as Waterproof then it is not. You can however put a large zipper storage bag over it and tape it snug or a large clear bag. I have also used mine in the rain that way at the beach. Most search coils will, however, claim to be water proof. I have the BH Discovery 3300. I have run the coil through the water many times with no problems. Get it into the water and leave it or use it on the land. Passing it back and forth over the water will cause it to sound off if half of the swing is over water and you finish the swing over land. It is annoying.

Good for you, papa.

I took today off. Getting some new furniture, moving it myself. We are having a nor-easter. It has rained hard all day. I didn't move any furniture, or go diggin. Got my shopping done, that's about all.

Lousy day all around.
