I usually hunt the beach with my GT, and sand was getting into my speaker holes when the wind blew. I used electrical tape to cover the holes where the speaker holes were. I then found a ladies watch on the beach that was running with the strap broken, so I put some velcro on the back of the watch and velcro where I taped over the speaker holes. Now I have the time on my control box. I sometimes get so interested in metal detecting that I am late for a meeting, now I just look at the watch on the control box and have the correct time. Wishing all of the forum members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. GH, Don
