[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 164490, member: 1916"] :rolleyes: Not sure there is much benefit in taking a coin detector on a plane. I have checked behind the seats on numerous occasions and have never found any gold, only crusty old peanuts and soggy chips. :o I think you will find the 305 will be too long for carry-on. I have rolled my 705 in a swag once and on another occasion had it in a bag with the poles sticking out the end about 12". They went on as 'oversized' and was marked fragile so they packed it on top, :rolleyes: perhaps. They made it to the other end safely on both occasions. Airlines are paranoid about cheep Chineese batteries these days and would prefer them to be in the cabin rather than the cargo hold. A pilot mate said at least he has a chance of controlling the fire if it goes caboom in the cabin. [/QUOTE]
