Title: Detector covers ? Post by: raistlain on February 04, 2016, 10:48:37 PM has anyone any idea as to is it OK to detect in the rain ? ...I have a Etrac with the 3 piece camouflage cover set on it (deteckniks I think) is that rainproof ? or are they just to keep it clean and protect it from scratches etc ? ...are the control box and the battery compartment bit rainproof anyway ? ...any advice welcome .. thanks :)

Well,it works for me,just a suggestion. Good hunting!!!👍 Title: Re: Detector covers ? Post by: raistlain on February 06, 2016, 01:34:03 PM thanks dingdong....i would never of thought of that either.... ;)
