What about the coils?  I didn't realize they were waterproof.

I have been covering the coils with a plastic bag also.  Don't I need to?

Not all coils can be submerged but all are rainproof. I have never covered a coil for rain protection, and I spent as much time in Alaska detecting in the rain as not.

Is that photo on the side of Hwy 21 outside of Boise?

The ladies Shower Caps work well and the pinks ones are best.  Yes I have used them and plastic bags, like the other folks say.  Just remember to take it off when finished and let your control box breath.
