[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 149033, member: 3820"] Hi guys, This Saturday I'm meeting up with a fellow prospector up around West Gippsland and plan on detecting an area we've had in mind for a while. The trip has been planned for weeks and now they're saying 80% chance of rain but rain, hail or shine we're still going to detect to satisfy our curiosity. I'm taking both my detectors and had planned to start with the TDI but have the MXT as backup. The main aim is to hopefully find gold but any relics or old coins will be a bonus. My question is apart from the obvious with keeping the control box dry, what other affect will the rain or wet ground have with detecting and will it suit a VLF or PI better or no difference? Will the ground be more conductive and will it be more prone to false signals in the wet? [/QUOTE]
