We got a downpour this afternoon and the rain has come back here @ 3AM.
This is good. Ground has been hard for a pickaxe and didn't want to carry sledge hammer for Lesche.
Tot lots have been the only way to search for a long time.
Want to try out 8" excelerator and let son use 6 X 10 eclipse.
He has been doing great with stock 9.5 .
Last couple weeks he had vacation and we hit many parks and a couple beaches.
Ground has been hard.
It does rain in Orygun and we are used to it but am thinking the clear "free" vegetable sacks at grocery stores
may save the electronics on our MXTs.
Anyone try this?

I use ziplock freezer bags. We need more rain. I've been waiting months to detect a hot spot out by Vernonia, but the ground is too hard.

Vernonia was hit bad with the flooding.
I was in the park this spring but I didn't MD.
They fixed it up well, but the town needs income.
Have some friends there and will visit soon if you don't hunt it out. LOL
