Is the Fisher F2 water proof?

[frogginfish]

I was wanting to take the F2 with the 11" DD coil out for a stroll under some water to see what I can find. Does anyone know if the coil is water proof and has anyone tried doing the same with that machine?

I'm pretty sure the box is not, but I was still curious as to the coil.

Thanks guys

The coil is waterproof, the box is not. Most newer detectors have waterproof coils. Only clearly stated "underwater" will have a waterproof box.

Yep. The box is VERY water sensitive, so just be careful

You might even consider putting a bag or something over the box just to be certain that you don't get water on it.
