How rain resistant is the meter pod on these two detectors? Also is there a rain jacket available for the control box? In my semi-tropical part of the country it pays to be ready for a downpour when relic hunting in the woods far from your vehicle. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

MXT / M6 question

I don't know of a cover for the box, but White's does make a meter cover for the MXT/M6...............JS-RHQ....$9.95
I like Nancy's idea of a large baggie, but in my opinion neither is necessary. The control pod is pretty rain proof with a seal between the two halves. The box is also well built with O ring seals on the switches and potentiometers and even the speaker is sealed and made of Mylar.
Not waterproof, but certainly good enough for a good soaking rain, done it many times.
