Yes, you can use a metal detector in the rain if.......
The detector is made for underwater use. If the metal detector is made for land use, put a cover over the electronics housing. Many of the top manufacturers sell rain-proof covers. Be sure your headphones are waterproof!

How deep can metal detectors detect?
Depends on the size of the metal detectors, and the size of the metal under the surface of the earth. The bigger the metal detector, the bigger the piece of metal, the deeper down it will detect.
What is the difference between detect and look for?
To detect something would be to discover that it exists, or is present, without actually knowing of its existence or occurrenceTo look for is to try to find some specific target.I could take a metal detector among the beach to look for coins; whilst looking for the specific target, I could perhaps detect the existence of a different metal object under the sand
How was the metal detector invented?
a man was sitting under a tree and bam snapped his fingers and it appeared :)
How magnetism works in metal detectors?
It was explained to me in Combat Engineer school many moons ago. Metal detectors emit weak magnetism at a specific gauss and power. It recieves this same information on another part of the detector head. This variance in the two spikes the detector if it meets the threshold and a reading is discovered. Dialing in the detector allows the user to decide what they want to detect and sometimes at what distance they want to be able to detect it. It works with gauss fields and detecting the discrepancies on the returns of a known broadcast field. To see gauss lines get some iron filings and put them on a table - put a magnet under the table and move it under it. Those lines where they gather are gauss lines.
How does the traffic light detect a car when a car is at ared light how does it trigger the light to change.?
Coils of wire are buried under the road's surface to detect the metal in the car. Next time you are riding in a car look and you can usually see the lines in the asphalt where cuts were made to bury the wires. The signal from the detector is sent to the computer that runs the lights so it knows there are cars waiting. Good question!
How do you buy the metal detector on sims 2 for xbox?
It's under electronics, but you need 12,000 aspiration points to buy it and it also costs $1200
How do you get the sandals on wimpy boardwalk?
The mom in the parking lot by the fun house. She needs her keys first, so go get the keychain from the guy who sells them at the beach, give it to the guy who is "Looking for something" on the beach. He gives you his metal detector. Then spill a container of popcorn by the woman on the towel. She leaves. Use the metal detector to look under the towl she was on, and find the keys. Take them back to the parking lot mom, and she gives you flip flops.
What is the best metal detector under 300?
To find the best metal detector, hop right over to ebay. It does not matter who the manufacturer is, as long as the user knows how to effectively utilize the equipment at hand. Some people have used metal detectors to uncover items of great value.
How do you get the car keys on wimpy boardwalk?
The keys are under the sand near the woman with the towel on the beach. You need to scare her away (using the popcorn) so you can use the metal detector there. You will need to get some popcorn, and the metal detector from the man on the beach. To get the popcorn: Go far left to the trash can near the Bumper cars. The lid is on the cage ride above the popcorn vendor. Climb up to get the lid, cover the can, and push it all the way right, to the cotton candy. The stinging flies will leave and you can dig down for the empty popcorn box. Refill it at the popcorn stand and go to the beach. To get the metal detector: You may have to go twice to the beach, once to get the sunscreen from the photographer, then leave and come back to see a seagull flying over the trash can there. Jump up and grab the keychain from the bird, and return it to the man with the metal detector. Use the popcorn and birds will scare the woman off the towel. Use the metal detector to find the keys next to the towel, and return them to the woman.
What is wrong tesoro silver saber plus the noise won't go off?
Metal Detectors are very complex instruments. They need to be properly set to operate.Your sensitivity is much too high. Lower the "sensitivity" setting just enough so that it becomes "stable". It should only beep when there is metal under the coil.Your metal detector must be in motion to work properly while in "discriminate" mode. Place a nickel on the ground and wave the coil over the coin, keeping the coil level with the ground. You should get a beeping sound. If the instrument does not beep, lower the "discriminate" knob until you are able to detect the nickel. This is a good setting that will detect most US coins and silver and 10k to 14K gold jewelry.
Which instrument used to measure the sound under the water?
Sonar detector.
How can you build a metal finder?
The easist way to find nails and other steel is a magnet. Since this question is posted in 'Building and Carpentry / Technology' it begs the question, 'What kinds of metal are you interested in?' Yes, a magnet will help locate most nails and other ferrous metals (steel, iron), but not aluminum, copper, nor brass, all found in construction. There are commercial metal detectors available for purchase for this purpose, and a Google search for "How to build a metal detector?' produces many links to videos of inexpensive projects. All of these are likely to detect any metal at a shallow depth. Good luck. You will need an electronic oscillator whereby the frequency change can be detected as metal will shift the frequency of oscillation as it passes over or under the metal.
