I was thinking of keeping my Garrett GTI 2500 in my car trunk while I am work so I can hunt on the way home. The problem is I worry about the heat affecting the detector.
The summer temps in the Boston area tend to be in the mid 80's most of the time for the next 2 weeks.

Can anyone help me out with advice about this.

Have left mine in the trunk on hot days...sometimes on the floor of the back seat...never had a problem. I'm more worried about it being shook to heck and back...some of the crappy roads I drive on...but not worried enough to stop doing it.

get yourself a Mexican blanket and have silver bubble wrap on the inside and cover it. Here we been having 100 to 110 and it seems like 118 when i get in the car in the afternoon. the wrap might work! I paid almost $900 for mine & would hate to lose it.
