Back when I had the X-70 I used to shallow wade with the 9" MF concentric and found it to be deep in the inland lakes here. Made some nice gold recoveries too! I'm not fond of the pod on a stick waterproof detectors due to the added water resistance. The slim factor of the 9" concentric was a joy in the water due to the low drag. In the past I used many of the chest mountable machines from several manufacturers with good results. But I also flooded and ruined my favorite.
I ordered the 3' coiltek cable extension and will be giving it a another go this spring with the 705. I plan on putting silicone on the extension cable connnector and further sealing it with heat shrink tubing. Not sure yet what method I will use to water proof the control pod or cable and headphone entry but I will come up with something.
Picture is one of the better X-70 water finds I made.
