The 5x8 Ripper coil is fully submersible and functions in saltwater environments with the same waterproof rating as the AT series detectors themselves. The coil performs reliably on wet-sand beaches and in shallow surf up to waist depth without leakage or signal degradation, and the DD winding handles saltwater mineralization more smoothly than concentric coils. The Ripper maintains stable threshold even when waves wash over the coil, and the included protective cover prevents scratches from shell beds and coral fragments. Garrett builds the Ripper with the same waterproof housing used across the AT series coil lineup, so it withstands full submersion in both fresh and saltwater.
