Detecting for coins in wet weather

[AussieGamer_Ben]

just wanted to know if its unsuitable to detect for coins/jewelry when there is rain around or if there has been rain and the ground is wet.

If your detector is waterproof or has a plastic protector cover for the electronics i would say it's ok.

so the wet ground wont effect the signal or anything.

im using a aldi detector

Yep, just keep the electrics dry-i think the Aldi has a waterproof coil connector.

You get better signals in wet soil. The copper and silver coins sing beautifully. I assume because detectors work on conductivity the wet soil conducts better.

From my experience the aldi is not much good in sodden soil, great if it's damp but useless if saturated.

No worries mate, that being said always give it a go, reducing sensitivity can sometimes help with any false signals.
