Water hunting results on simplex

[WaterHound]

Has anyone found any updates or utubes on long term water detecting results with the simplex in fresh water , i mean a good months worth of wave and current exposure a complete submersion for a long period , not just a little splash, or rainy days detecting , the structural engineering strength of the detector because of water drag and resistance while swing in water. - and i guess will the shaft still move freely if sand gets into it as it happens when shaking the scoop out . Just wondering, might have to wait till spring , to get a review. Seems like it might be a good back up detector for serious water detecting. Thanks

I have used Simplex on 2 occasions in fresh water while it was submerged most of the time as I detected 3-5 feet of water level. Have had no problems. Used wired Makro waterproof headphones that worked great. I dug all signals the first time and was more selective as I learned the machine. Was in the water 1 hour the 1st time and 1 and 1/2 hours the second. Didn't use the vibrating setting as the wired headphones worked great. I just mostly turn on and go using the numbers only when I hit a target.
Hope that helps.

Default out of the box, the Field mode is 2-Tone as ALL Disc segments are Accepted and the first three span the Low-Tone Iron Audio 0-15 VDI Ferrous range.

The Park mode is 3-Tone as ALL Disc segments are Accepted and the first three span the 0-15 Low-Tone Iron Audio VDI Ferrous range, and the upper segments provide the additional Mid-Tone and High-Tone.

The Beach mode is 1-Tone, because the default program has the first 3 Disc. notch segments Rejected, eliminating the Low-Tone Iron Audio. Thus, you only here the High Tone for the non-ferrous Disc. range

Personally, I like to use my Simplex[sup]+[/sup] without any Discrimination most of the time, so ALL Disc. notch segments are Accepted in each of those three modes, and that means Field and Beach are a 2-Tone operation and Park is 3-Tone.

As Monte said about the Simplex+, tones vary a bit as does the raspiness or clarity of the sound produced.
