Covering your detector for water

Has anyone of you ever simply covered you land detectors to search shallow water? Any recommendations for a cover?
 
Taking a big chance as a slip or fall may cost you a big bucks unit. Many wrap the control head in a baggie of sorts which may help if its momntatily dipped..
 
How about just covering the coil and shaft in calm waters?
 
No need to even in salt water if you wash with cold water after use..Might want to put a plug inside your shaft as water can rise inside the shaft to affect your control box. Remember even in calm water one can trip and fall causing your control box to get water in it..Idea is to partially protect your contol box.
 
So let me get this straight, I can get the standard coil on my GTX 550 wet? Submerge the coil? Then clean it? Thanks again.
 
The coil on your machine is waterproof, the control box is not. As was mentioned previously, if you wash the coil and shaft afterwards with fresh water there is no problem with submersing the coil. I do wrap my control box with a plastic bag when I beach detect as previously mentioned, in case of a 'slip up'.
