The IM13 5" coil is waterproof and works well for shallow creek and river hunting where you're wading in water. The compact size lets you work between rocks and around submerged logs where a larger coil would snag. The DD coil pattern handles the mineralization in streambeds better than a concentric, maintaining ground balance in iron-rich sediment. The coil is perfect for underwater metal detecting in shallow creeks and rivers where precision matters more than depth, allowing you to pinpoint targets precisely in challenging underwater environments.
