I haven't been hunting in like 2 years. When I wrapped things up I just put my detector in closet. Batteries removed of course. Now is there anything else I should have done to it before storage. Was just thinking if I decide to get back into it, watch I'll go to use it and something will be wrong with it. Hopefully not the case, but I'm paranoid.

Myself I would have sold it, couple, 5 years, the technology will have jumped leaps, better to buy new then...IMO

So tends to be a trend. I have hobbies that I don't have time for lol. __________________ |

Drain the fuel tank and put a car cover on it..
Jk Batteries removed and stored in a heated house closet is just fine. __________________ |

Then ended up busting a connector for the 9v. __________________ |

Other than the batteries, my biggest fear would be breaking it. I used to put mine in a corner between hunts, till it fell over, I tripped over it, and I broke the coil by stepping on it. I agree with RB Det. that a box or some other method to protect it would be good. I made a rack to hang mine up on. Curt
