Travel with detector

[cntrydncr1]

Hi. I have not even received my new Garrett Ace 250 or started detecting yet. I have lots of questions but the big one looming right now is how to fly to Florida with the detector and equipment. Any thoughts?

Probebly want to leave it in the original box... less questions about what it might be.

I dunno...

I got my new DFX and got on a plane the next day. I knew I would be traveling by plane and car a fair amount, so I invested in the compact case offered by Whites. For airline travel, I was a bit nervous about sending the case through as luggage separately. Even with the padding, I thought the case and detector would take some beating. I put the case (see pic) inside a larger suitcase and buffered it with clothes. Everything came through fine - round trip.

I have same case as Wolfmanjoe3. I use it for my Whites XLT. It has traveled thousands of miles on various airlines with no problems. I can not speak for your particular model of detector, but you can get the idea from the nice photo posted by Wlofmanjoe3.
