Hunted a swimming hole today with the 800, and my PRO Find 35, which was the first water hunt for the pinpointer. First target in a foot deep of water, the 35 worked fine initially, but then started acting up. I could turn it off, then on and it would work for about 10 seconds. I did this a couple of more times, and finally it just stopped working.
I can turn it on and off with the report, but I cant adjust the the depth setting, and it wont pick up any metal. I took the battery out and noticed a few drops of water inside, so right now I have it sitting in the sun to see if the innards would dry out...any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately I will probably have to send it to mine lab, but I do not have the receipt anymore.
Some folks here have had their 800's get water inside of their display box and fry out their machines. I dont water detect much, but up to this point I havent had a problem with the 800.
Just wanted to let people know.
