I have a friend that lives along the coast of
Maryland near the Chesapeake bay. He is an avid duck hunter and swears by the
item below. It is called a Golden Rod. It is an electric De-Humidifier for Guns.
I have not used them for my weapons or meteorites. They can be found at
Cabelas.com Search on Item number:
Golden Rod
My buddy in Maryland has way more money than sense and buys outrageously
expensive shotguns to hunt ducks with. He is anally retentive and keeps those
guns in prisitine condition. His nome is less than 100 feet from salt
water.
I have actually been thinking of trying one of these in my meteorite case.
I always worry that I will get busy and forget to check my cannisters one month
and find my Brahin slices rusting, my Nantan crumbling and my irons browning
away. I have a limited budget when it comes to buying meteorites and hate to
lose them to the humidity any sooner than I have too. We use our evaporative
cooler here in Arizona in the summer time and I have had good luck with the
Hydra-Gel cannisters I recommended in an earlier email today.
Just thought I would drop in my thoughts on the subject.
