White's Beach Hunter ID Moisture Problem (New Need Help)

Hi:
I am new to water detecting and purchased this machine new from White's <p>to use in a local lake controlled swimming place, where hundreds of people gather to swim.<p> I hunt in water knee deep to chin deep in all metal mode with a slight hum from the threshold.<p> The problem is that my machine gathers moisture inside and makes the machine run erratic with false signals<p> and then it will start to continually flash back and forth between the lights with a constant sound as if the machine is shorted out.<p> I removed the battery holder today and put in new batteries.<p> There was no water in the battery compartment so I re-installed it with no change in the behaviour of the machine.<p> I took the holder back out and left it out all afternoon and replaced it and machine now seems to have fixed it's self for now,<p> but still has some moisture inside. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

I JUST AIR OUT THE DETECTOR AFTER EACH USE,I AM GOING TO MY LOCAL WHITES DEALER MON. I'LL ASK ABOUT SILICA JELL PACKS TO FIGHT MOISTURE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE FALSING YOU TALK OF THOUGHT. I WATER HUNT ALMOST EVERY DAY NECK/CHIN DEEP NEVER HAD A LEAK!! I WILL POST WHAT THE DEALER SAYS.
 
Hi:

Thank you for the reply to my question. I guess I need to start airing my machine out after each hunt.<p> I don't usually do anything to the machine after a hunt.<p> Do you remove the screws in the top cover or just the battery pack to air out? (Happy Hunting to You)

Here is a picture of the lake swimming hole.

Thank You for your input and help on my question. Here is a picture of the machine with the moisture.<p>Do you think this is excessive since you have had a lot of experience with them.?<p> I may send it back to have it checked for a leak but White's is closed for the holidays.

ARE YOU FROM A HUMID AREA?? I WOULD AIR IT OUT GOOD.. SEE IF THIS CURES THE PROBLEM. I OPEN THE BATTERY DOOR AND TAKE OUT THE PACK AFTER EVERY HUNT..I LEAVE IT OPEN TILL I HUNT AGAIN.
