NY or Bust :detecting: Anyone know if the Lesche is OK in check-in luggage??

[Cal_Cobra]

I'm packing my detector and have about 5+ days to detect

I was lucky to find an out of print history book on the county I'm traveling to and have already found about 6-8 large public places to detect that date back to the early 1800's, possibly earlier. I'm hoping to break into the 1700's and find a large cent We'll see, may be wishful thinking

I'm bringing the control box, headphones, small coil , Pro-Pointer and cigars in my carry-on (bet that gets double scanned).

Anyone know if it's OK to pack you Lesche digger in your check-in luggage?

If anyone is around Corning, I'm happy to met within an hour or so for a hunt

If a tiny pen knife is not OK then I wouldn't try a digging tool. You may end up detained & with a hefty fine. If you don't want to check luggage in, then pre-shipping it via UPS may be the way to go. The other option is to buy a cheapie digger when you arrive.

Depends on how much you enjoy a cavity searchPut it in your suitcase if you are taking one. TAS doesn't have a sense of humor about large pointed metal objects in your carry on.
