XP Deus Underwater??

[pine3874]

Can one use the XP with the coil submerged in 5 ft. of water? I read somewhere that a special antenna is needed. Does one have to make the antenna or can it be bought? Anyone having the answers to these questions please post links to how this is done. Thanks

Thank you. Too bad Deus didn't think of a wireless solution to this problem when they developed the detector. Using this mod the XP Deus really isn't a wireless detector anymore when used in the water.

After following the instruction of how to build an antenna (Andys Water Hunting Mod) you may also want to purchase a waterproof Ipod case with a waterproof earbud port and waterproof earbuds so your head can go under the water.
i don't think I would take the chance of anything deep, mainly wading.

I agree with H D not designed as a deep water machine, but the most versatile land machine

I have ever used

That was exactly my question and has now been answered. The XP is a wireless land machine and that is what it was developed to do. To use it in the water, modifications have to be done.
