MD Storage

Where do you store your MD during the cold season?

I make sure that the batteries are out of them and that they are clean. They are stored in a codura padded bag in the closet. That way I know where they are at if I need them.

Well with all the bad weather we are having I have put the rig's under the spare bed for now. In my spare time I have built a tool box of sorts that will sit in the back of my Jeep Commander . It will hold two BH detectors and the 8.5" coils, the 4" coil as well as batteries and tools and pin pointers. All I have to do yet is attach some velcro to a couple tie down points and it will be done and ready for spring hunting.

Mine sits on the Mantle of my Fireplace in my living room when not in use.

LOL, I have been waiting all year for the cold season so I could detect and breath at the same time. Florida's heat and humidity make it a challenge unless you are at the beach.

I don't believe it gets cold enough to store mine, but then again, all die hards carry a pick axe, don't they?

My two XLTs hang in an old German oak wardrobe that I now use as my MD cabinet. Detectors, trowels, picks and earphones hang on one side and the other side has shelves that work perfect to hold my "treasures", books, WE Treasures mags and other MD related items.

I remove and charge my batteries before storage and then charge them periodically during the long AK winter. I think the rechargeable batteries need the most care; I learned this the hard way by not charging them for 7 months over the winter. It was a $60 mistake

TTGL, I live down here in FL and am able to MD all winter as so far in my life we don't have too many cold cold days, but in the summer it's !!!!!!!!! HOT !!!!!! But just don't forget to take your battery packs apart. I read on another TNET thread that some guy's had to buy new battery packs cause they forgot. Even if I know that I'm not going to MD for over 3 or 4 days I take mine out of the tector and as with my BH ID Itake the batteries out of the pack. Also my cordless headset and the x-mitter on my MD. olegator
