X-Terra coils.... water proof vs water resistant......from Minelab USA

[Digger]

Definitions:
Water resistant: May be splashed, washed, used in drizzling rain, or moved through wet grass. Must not be submersed under water.
Water proof: Submersible to 1 meter. Ideal for shallow water wading and gold prospecting in shallow streams.

Great info, can't argue when it comes straight from the source. I found out the hard way that the 10 X 5 Double-D coil is not water proof. Lucky for me the service department at Minelab fix the problem. Thank you Minelab for the good will on getting my X-Terra 70 back up and running, Quality detectors are not cheap and it is nice to know you stand behind your product, even if the owners make a mistake.

Thanks Digger.

Its a relief to do away with conjecture and finally get this subject cleared up.

You just kept me from making a misstake. Thanks. Great forum for Information.

Now the question is: "why doesn't Minelab just go ahead and make all their X-T coils waterproof, rather than a little over half of them"???

Spot on!

 

[Coach]

Where would a guy go for prices on these coils? Great information on this post. Great question on why don't they make them all water proof?

Yep
