can this detector work in salt water?

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high as possible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would not take that chance. Joseph

According to Garmin manual it can be used in salt water, but the depth range drops to 600ft range. The range is salinity dependent. Hope this helps.

Hi Matthew, The LIFESAVER will filter almost anything that is not water soluble. Since salt is water soluble it bonds with the water molecule and the filter is unable to filter it out and desalinate sea water.

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.

Yes, the Lowrance Elite series will work in salt water to depths of 1000 ft. It has a dual frequency transducer; 200kHz for depths to 100 ft and 83kHz for deeper water. You have to go into menus to change frequencies manually. Its a great unit.

hello . yes it will certainly detect the ring if it were me i would run the all metal mode first . if the ring is in water dont let the control box get in the water. it must stay dry. not sure about salt water searching though, probably not the best choice for the wet side of the salt water beach . hope this helps and good luck !

I see no reason why this unit could not be used in salt water. I am not for sure if maps for some salt water area's is loaded but I know you can get a card and load them into unit. It does come with transducer and the GPS reads your speed, it is very accurate.

I don't know if it can be used as a flotation device in the ocean. I have never submerged it in salt water. I don't think I would buy it or use it for that purpose at the risk of damaging it when proper flotation devices could be purchased for much cheaper.

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

I really am not sure, if what you want to measure is very low pressure than I think it would work. This unit measures in water column and is very sensitive.

No. This kit does not test for salinity and is designed for testing water in Marine Aquariums. You could use a TDS meter, I see Amazon does have specific Salt Water Pool Testers.

It can also be used on land, however it will be a bit bulkier than a traditional land detector as it is designed for underwater use.

I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.

Yes, the unit works off of passive infrared, which means the unit needs to see a change in temperature in motion to detect. So anything with a heat signature and moving within the detection area will be picked up.

Check the type of salt you are using. I had the same issue using dead sea salts which are potassium and magnesium salts. I suspect that the test kit measures NaCl which is what the manual specifies. The system seemed to work just fine but to appease the sensor I changed the mix to 30% plain pool NaCl salt.

I have taken the metal screen off to clear the impeller, almost all of the exposed parts are plastic, it should work with salt water, I would just have it pump out a couple pails of tab water after. I have been impressed with battery life.

As far as I know, if a metal detector can work underwater, it should work on land too.But as far as this particular metal detector goes, I wouldn't trust it.There are way too many bad reviews on the internet for this detector.Also, many of the good reviews on Amazon for this detector look like fake reviews, as if the reviews were posted by the seller.
