Thanks!
The halo of a buried metallic object is bigger when the soil is moist. So yes, detecting after a rain is usually more productive. It's not that your detector works any differently, but the strength and size of the target is enhanced by the rain as the molecules of the target spread out around it. That's the halo effect.
