[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 325696, member: 1695"] Had a look at the 705 manual, and the waterproof coil they are referring to is the round concentric coil, not the elliptical gold coil. Page 2 shows the concentric coil as the stock coil for the 705, pictured in the box contents. Being water resistant, the gold coil probably could survive a few brief dunkings, it's just not tested nor guaranteed to keep out water for sustained periods as with the other waterproof accessory coils. Should be fine though for detecting dry/wet sand, and you will find you will get less falsing on the wet sand if you keep the coil a few cms off the sand anyway. Also most VLF detectors won't run stable enough having the coil dunked in the salt water, main thing is to not go too crazy on the sensitivity. Knock it back until you have minimal falsing from the salt, then run it higher when back on the dry sand for increased performance. :) [/QUOTE]
