Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: benny on November 28, 2009, 06:19:10 PM Haven't been out since the Rooksbridge rally(cracking day) cos we been on our hols so will DEFINATELY be getting me an hour or two in tomorrow regardless off the weather! Never know what you've found till you get home cos everything's just coated in sticky clay when its wet round here!
Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: mel on November 28, 2009, 07:52:28 PM you just gotta get out regardless of the weather,
or you'l never get out in our beloved country Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: Chef Geoff on November 28, 2009, 08:21:03 PM I'll be out tomorrow come rain or shine, fed up with only seeing the inside of a kitchen or making headphones, just hoping for more than buckles.
Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: 1morecoin on November 28, 2009, 09:27:51 PM use cling film under your normal covers and you can stay out all day with no fear of the damp stuff getting in the machines electrics.
Steve. Unfortunately i have not got a machine to go out with at the mo, rain or shine :( Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: 150aceboy on November 28, 2009, 09:31:29 PM Good tip that Steve mate, thanks :)
Ace ;) Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: Debbie on November 28, 2009, 10:15:41 PM Must say, I'm more of a 'fair weather' girl :D
Not too keen on wallowing around in the mud in the rain. Plays havoc with my soft hands .... ;D ;D Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: 1morecoin on November 28, 2009, 10:45:37 PM I agree it's not very nice getting your soft bits wet ;D
Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: outlaw on November 29, 2009, 05:37:23 PM its ok to detect in the rain provided you and detector are adequately dressed to keep damp out !
Though minelab covers are not that good in heavy rain, though see through morrisons carrier bag pretty effective. Like the tip using cling film, good idea that, provided you can still see display ;D Its very cold and wet today, so hope its been worth it for those brave enough to go out ! Title: Re: DOING IT IN THE RAIN Post by: 1morecoin on November 30, 2009, 10:25:09 PM the cling film is perfect as long as you put it over the screen so it sticks to the screen with no creases, it does'nt impare your view in any way, please try it and let me know what you think.
