How to Get Started in Shallow Fresh Water Detecting

[Iron Buzz]

Experienced land detector here. I've tried to find some information online on getting started at shallow water (freshwater lakes) detecting. Equipment, techniques, how to find historic beaches & swimming holes, stuff like that. Doesn't seem to be much out there.

I did a search for this forum and will be picking through it looking for advice but thought it best to also ask my question directly. Thanks.

I too agree with Cudamark.
Please know that the waterproofness maybe unreliable on the Equinox 800/600 I have the 800 and had to send it in for water under the screen and the water level was only barely above my waist.

I have the EQ800, and it will never see the water....

That's what I have that Excal for
