Yes, the XP ICON's FMF multi-frequency transmission handles wet salt sand and shallow saltwater without the ground-balance drift that forces single-frequency detectors to reduce sensitivity. The coil and lower shaft are waterproof to 6 feet, so you can wade chest-deep in calm surf or hunt the wet sand line after a storm. For dedicated beach hunters, our waterproof metal detectors 10–16 feet collection includes deeper-rated options if you're diving or working heavy surf zones.
