Now.... if we move on to other stuff lost other than metal detecting stuff.....

As long as you haven't turned it on. I would remove the batteries and try the rice. submerge the whole control box in rice for a few days should do the trick. _ I'm curious to know if anyone has resorted to this? I have ruined one machine but I'm almost certain it was because I turned it on too soon after it got rained on.

Used it for two phones & one old CB. Haven't witnessed the horrors of dunking my detector yet,(he says vigorously knocking on wood)

 

[Peyton Manning]

Well, good news to report
Put batteries in and it turned on
That saved me a few hundy, not sure I could justify buying a new one since I haven’t found that diamond wedding ring yet

I would hit it with a hair dryer. That will help to dry it and it may also push out any droplets of water in the machine.

Heck, since your dumb just toss it in the microwave for 10 minutes, That will take care of it!

Be careful! If you get it too hot, the smds will pop off the board.

 

[FreeBirdTim]

Yes, I should have stated to run the hair dryer on low and to keep it a good distance away. You could place you hand next to the area you are drying. If it's too hot for your hand, then it's too hot for the control box.

Used it today, works fine
Whew!

Gave a friend a ride home last night so I put my detector in the truck bed.
Forgot it and it got rained on.
It’s an MXTPRO
Guess after it dries out I’ll hope it’s not fried.

I would dismantle it as much as possible and dry it completely with a hair dryer.

A hair dryer will take less time.

Can you enclose it in a plastic bag with rice in it to draw the moisture
?

 

[Peyton Manning]

I just sat it in the sun.
However there was no Liquid, just moisture
