Arming myself for winter .....

[oldranger]

John In Edmonton Leslie Nova Scotia and all of
you cold weather have given me the
bug to try it here in PIttsburgh ..
SO ill be using the ACE250 its light
and all the electrical stuff including batteries
are in one housing..Unlike the GTI with the control
box and batteries apart.. and Therein lies my question..
I have plenty of the chemical handwarmers I use for hunting
and early season fishing ..How do i wrap them on the ACE so
they work best? Also will I notice any performance differences
in the cold weather?
Any tips on where to hunt in the cold are also welcome

Thanks for the help I know Ill get

I do not hunt a lot in cold weather because the ground gets like concrete in northern wisconsin. However I will hunt right up to the point where I can no longer dig. I have never taken any special precautions with the detector and have not had a problem. I use an old Grand Master Hunter and the wife uses an Ace 250. Neither detectors have had any problems from being out in below freezing weather for 3 - 4 hours at a time but that is about my limit.

Hope this helps

Ranger:
I open the battery compartment of my Ace 250, sit a small hand warmer (you can get from wal-mart) on the
batteries then gently put the cover back on top of the warmer. I use masking tape to wrap around the control housing. I then
wrap something like a woolen snow hat. You can cut a hole in one end and pull it over the detector starting from the end of
the rod and up over the control box. Another piece of masking tape wrapped around the wool will keep it from falling off.
Its simple and keeps the batteries toasty warm.
