Dry weather, does it effect performance?

[rainyday]

I went out yesterday afternoon and this evening G to two different permmisions, both which have given good results in the past.
However both me and a mate pretty much Blanked?
Could this be down to the dry weather and the ground being less conductive?
Thanks

I have always found you lose depth in dry weather conditions and also we rely on wet weather to get rid of some of the ground minerals
so you have an extra masking level build up during dry conditions.
and i hate the hard dry ground also...Well thats my take on it anyhow....Paul.

Yes,gotta go 100%with Dragonsbreath (Paul)...you get far better conductivity on wet/moist soil....much prefer to detect after  a drop a rain has fallen after a dry spell.
Good hunting..👍

Good job you ain't got a tector Chris. Have you seen the forecast for tomorrow ?

They say be careful what you wish for

I've just been out for 2 hours and even after all that rain we have had the ground is still real dry from an inch down onwards so the signals are not very good still and poor at giving a good definition, the dry weather really does effect metal detecting.

Thanks, at least it's not me
