Can you treasure hunt in the rain?

[TreasureHunters]

So I finally got my Ace 250 (Im a newbie) and was planning my day for tomorrow now it says 80% chance of rain... just my luck... I know the coil and staff is water proof but can I somehow cover the main part? I mean is it worth it? if just drizzles is it ok? Thanks in advance, hopefully the %20 of no rain somehow shines..

With my DFX I'd just cover it with a clear plastic bag and tape it together. However if it's poaring down it's no fun anyways... Then I'd just let it be.

I have put a bread bag over mine if it is misting a little. If it is really raining, I'll hang it up.

Of course Garrett makes a rain cover, but most people use a clear plastic bag of some type.

Become a cache hunter. You can hunt with or without a detector.

I wouldn't want to take a detector out in the rain, even covered up, unless it's a waterproof detector. Thats just me.

Just like I tell my recently turned single buddy who goes to the bar every night........
MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE BAG IT!

Done some of my best hunting in the rain...I like ziplocks for their resilience.

I have that machine too, but will never take it out in the rain even covered. If the circuts get wet you'll have a nice piece of scrap metal. Wait until after it rains, that works for me.
