I've heard mixed things about the optional coil for the X-terra 70. The dealer said the extra 6x9 in coil was waterproof, but I read somewhere else on this forum that it is not. I know the concentric coil that comes with the X-terra IS waterproof because it says so in the manual and i tried it. But what about the 6x9 inch gold detecting coil? Has anyone tried putting it in the water?

yes it is waterproof......... all 3 coils that come with it are waterproof.... a friend of mine has one and he puts all 3 in the water
 

The coils can be submerged to 20 inches, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut.......

The Control Box is NOT waterproof. It is only weather resistant (light rain).

I see what the chart says but I actually used mine in the North Fork of the American River with no problems. Been working great ever since too.

ah well. i wish i could have found something from Minelab.
 

Did ya notice on that chart, not one coil, finds gold and silver both using one coil.. weird on that one.
