Tony and I got out to a couple old sites that we haven't hunted in years. The day started out sweltering and we were drenched in sweat but by the end of the day we got caught in a refreshing downpour! Soaked to the bone but got a couple targets to make it worth while. We left the field when the lightning started. I enjoy detecting but not enough to risk electrocution.

Targets are a Geo III, Geo II, a 1650s Liard and what I consider my find of the day, cool horse tack! Fun day!!!

My 3 Sunray probes say hello from the grave. :laughing7:

I got a new Makro pinpointer that is waterproof, I was swinging the ATPro and I was wearing my Seiko diver...the only thing not waterproof was me!

Not water proof... but my Explorer, profind, G-shock, and Galaxy S5 can take all I throw at them! The Sunray probes... not so much!

Nice old finds and a free shower! Congrats !

You're not water proof! You're water impervious! Otherwise you would have melted by now and gone down the drain!
Lighting poof you are NOT!

I don't do that in Florida... lol

Stand in an open field in the rain with a detector here and your liable to be dead with a white hot bang.

Great probe....nothing else like it!! I won't go over to the 3030 because of no SunRay probe. I got one in the grave and another one on the way. Great idea, but wish it was a bit more robust! Every machine should have one built-in.......I feel like I'm hunting blind without the SunRay probe. The handhelds are no match for it.
