Is anyone aware of (or possibly made) an audio adapter to use a pair of waterproof Garrett headphones on a Minelab Equinox 800?

I made my own from 1-Minelab
[h=1]Headphone Adaptor Cable 3.5mm (1/8") to 6.35mm (1/4") from Minelab.
- cut off the 1/4" connector end attach one half of a waterproof connector then:
[/h]
2) ¼" Headphone Adapter PN: 1626000.....$39.95 from Garrett.
- cut off the 1/4" connector end and attach the other half of the waterproof connector.
Minelab has wiring instructions on their website.
With the adapter I made I can easily use any Garrett AT(series) compatible headphone with the Minelab 600/800 detectors and retain the interchangeability of the headphones between the Minelab and Garrett detectors.

Here are the pics. The Garrett adapter has a very short lead cable, you only get one change in putting it together with one part of the waterproof connector. Part numbers are with the Minelab and Garrett parts, I do not have any info on the waterproof connectors from an auction site. The ones I got had four connectors, you could use two or three connector also as you only need two for the Equinox. Hope this helps.
