Hey guys! Got out to the usual spot again. The last 2 times I’ve been out, I’ve found silver. Wanted to try my hand at a third day in a row.
So I get to the place and I’m detecting a spot that’s pretty wet mostly from all the rain we get over here. First signal of the day rings a solid 81. Sure enough a Rosie pops up! Third day in a row I’ve found silver so I’m pretty stoked about that.
Probably about 45 minutes in, I’m digging another signal and set my detector down to the side and when I pick it back up, water is falling out of the battery compartment.
So I took the battery out and tried to get all the water out by pouring it out. I turn the detector back on and it starts acting all finicky. This has happened to me in the past so I run to my car and drive to the closest grocery store and bought a bag of rice. My detector is currently filled with rice and I’m hoping it goes back to normal in a few days. Fortunately, I have a backup at my parents house of the same model detector so if worse comes to worse, I’ll just use that.
Hoping my detector pulls through though!
