So on page 52 of the manal book , it says the coil is waterproof up to 20 inches. I have the goldpack coil.

I have heard the gold pack coil isn't waterproof at all.

Does anyone know please?
 
Generally the coils are waterproof.

From the Minelab web site.

According to Minelab, waterproof means it is submersible to one meter, making it ideal for shallow water hunting.

The X-TERRA coils that are considered waterproof include the 6-inch concentric at 7.5 kHz, the 6-inch Double-D at 18.75 kHz, the 9-inch concentric at 3 kHz, the 9-inch concentric at 7.5 kHz and the 9-inch concentric at 18.75 kHz.

But the 10x5 that comes with the gold pack is only water resistant according to that chart.

Not what the instruction book it comes with says!

Bahaha. Yes I have heard many, many people rave about the CTX. It rules over all the other detectors that they have ZERO experience with. Between the CTX, At Pro and Deus which I own.... if I could pick only one it would be the Deus. The CTX for the beach maybe.

All great machines. Just frustrates me when so many people say "It is the BEST" when they have never used the others. End of Rant. LOL

I'm not getting into it mate. :D I choose my battles wisely these days. ;) :p
 
I'm up against them on Thursday, 2 deussesess against the 1 CTX, could be an interesting outcome. :D I've pulled a lot of silver coins from this site, probably 40 silver rings too and 4 gold rings. Gotta still be some nice treasure there among the trash.

All in good fun mate. They'll probably pillage the site. :lol:
