Travel ???

I know this question has been asked before, but if my metal detector fits in my carry on, should I take it on with me...most people say luggage, but has any one carried their metal detector in put it in overhead

Had luggage lost on one trip and one suit case destroyed on another
will never put mine in regular luggage - I always carry on

Do you take it out like a lab top...or do you just put it threw...

always carry the electronics cause I don't trust the baggage handlers. Shafts and diggers must go in luggage. You do not need to take it out.

I would hand carry the control unit and anything hard wired to it. The rest...batteries, shaft and scoop put in checked bags. Always check with the airline you've booked with though for questions. They are subject to steep fines by TSA and FAA if they are found to allow someone to fly that is not in compliance with CURRENT regulations, so they are up on ALL the rules because they are in business to make money not give it away.
