MDs on planes and going through MDs!

[Findloot]

I was wondering if there are strict rules on traveling on planes with metal detectors. Can it be a carry on item and also are there models that are collapsible and easy to travel with? Looking at that ace250 one. Many good things said.

Also, if you go thru the MD at the airport with a MD will they both go off?

I went on my honeymoon to St. Kitts and took a Tesoro Amigo. I just took an old hard side piece of luggage, put everything I needed inside for detecting and checked it. This was two years ago so security was pretty tight but nothing was ever said. The Amigo did very well. I wanted a good, cheap, compact detector and this turned out to be perfect. I did not realize it, but the hotel where we stayed had just been built and opened a few months before so there was a lot of screws and nails on the beach.

I took my xlt to cabo mexico last july. I have the white's hardcase for it, that is designed to fit everything and be small enough for carry-on (which I highly suggest). If they lose my luggage or damage it, thats fine, but not my MD.

I took my MXT to Vegas in a softside case as carry-on. It came apart enough to fold the bag in half so it was the size of a breifcase. I was only questioned about it when I was leaving Vegas. The girl wanted to know what it was and when I told her she asked what I found with it. I told her about all the old gold mines in the desert and she was ready to quit her job and become a full time prospector. So much for security screeners, they don't take their job too seriously. Good Luck and happy hunting

I have traveled most of the world with my Minelab Excalibur 1000; checked baggage is the way to go for me, I hate having to carry much of anything threw any airport. However, it will require a hard case to protect the detector. I purchased a ?Pelican? gun case to travel with my detector on aircraft and cruise ships, and have never had a problem, ah well, err other than that time from Amsterdam back to Florida. I had to change planes at General De Gaulle airport in France. I took about a week for all my stuff to finally show up. The French, some things will never change.
