Anyone use these to scan the shallows?? Thinking of the new Garrett AT propointer with 360° detection. Thanks.

I have a carrot and it does fine in the water. I keep it on a lanyard when water detecting and it comes in handy pretty often.

Are you thinking of using it as a recovery device ....... or a detector 
As a detector...... wow youd have to have a lot of time on your hands and apparently not enough money to by a water machine. Would i use it as a detector...... no a detector might cost more ...... but covering more beach at the end of the year clearly we know which would be best.
As a recovery device for tiny pieces...... ive not needed it. Wet sand or dry..... if its so tiny i cant see it once i isolate it with the detector and its not yellow i move on. In the water...... if you cant get it with the scoop...... you would need a mask and run the sand across the detector ....... fanning may be just as easy. But in the most case ....... we know its tiny..... we know if its a high or low conductor.... if high why chase it?

Thanks everyone. Nothing serious- just a way to enjoy a wade at 71! I use to LIVE in the water as a kid and at 30 discovered this hobby. Watched one video of a guy doing it and looked like fun and a way to enjoy 100+° temperatures! Oh- and I might find something!

No- fresh water. And I want 360° detection, too.

Sounds like "Work" getting about three to four inches of detecting range sounds like a lot of work for not a whole lot of reward.
