The Elite-Max 14x9 is waterproof to 3 feet, making it suitable for creek-bed prospecting, river-edge hunting, and shallow water searches without a coil cover. The injection-molded housing seals the winding assembly against moisture intrusion during submersion. The coil cable and connector remain above water when the detector is held at normal operating angles. Prospectors working wet environments pair the Elite-Max with waterproof headphones and keep the control box dry above the waterline.
