The ICON-X's coil, lower stem, and control housing are waterproof to 6 feet, making the detector ideal for wet sand, shallow surf, and creek hunting. The wireless remote is splash-resistant but not submersible, so you'll want to keep it above water during wading. For full underwater detecting beyond 6 feet, XP offers an optional bone conduction headset rated to the same depth. The wireless protocol eliminates the cable failure point that plagues wired beach detectors, and the FMF technology handles wet salt sand's conductivity without the ground noise that forces single-frequency users to back off sensitivity.
