Hey guys, Im a newbie, obvioulsy by the title of this thread. Just wondering if anyone knows of any legends that lead in or around NJ. I just got my new metal detector and Im excited to try it. Its a Garrett gti 1500. Thanks guys and i look forward to the exchange of ideas.

Are you thinking about buying a new detector already. You've only had the 1500 for what, about a week?

sorry i meant 2500, I dont ever spell check or proofread my post, you can always tell by my spelling. I was planning goin to the beach this weekend and did not know if the coil can be submerged in salt water

I Don't Own One, But I'm SHURE the Coil is Submersable.

Pretty Much ALL Detectors made Today Have WATER PROOF COILS.

Just Don't Get The CONTROL BOX WET.

Yes, the coil is submersible but as Jeff pointed out the control box is not. Although I have done a little shallow water hunting with mine, it makes me nervous as it would be too easy to drop it while retrieving a target. HH.

Also waves from boats or stuff can be deadly....to the detector it is

& don't Forget, IF you do a Salt Water Beach,

CLEAN The OUTSIDE of the DETECTOR COMPLETLY With Fresh Water After.
Ocean Salt Can Be VERY Destructive.

And IF by Chance You Do Drop it in the OCEAN

Take The Batteries Out Immediatly, Then
Take your Garden Hose & Flush the Entire Inside of The Control Box out.
At this Point You Can't do Anymore Harm.
Then Either Let Dry Completly & Put Batteries back in & It May Work.
Or Just Send it in For Repair.

Have had good luck with electronics on several sunk towboats . Wash throughly with fresh water . dry with heat gun or blow dryer. spray with wd -40 or good moisture resistant film , blow off excess, and power up . About 60% success > Which is good !!!!!!!!!! WILL DETECT FOR FOOD............CALL......BR...549
