The stainless steel cable and rings on this lanyard resist corrosion from freshwater, wet soil, and saltwater exposure. Stainless steel is the standard material for marine and outdoor hardware because it does not rust when submerged or exposed to salt spray. Detectorists hunting beaches or wading creeks with the MI-6 or MI-4 can submerge the lanyard repeatedly without cable degradation. Rinse the lanyard with fresh water after saltwater hunts to remove residual salt and extend the life of the retraction mechanism.
