Ask a Question-
Hello, Is this unit water proof and if so how deep ? I live not far from a old gold area , so should I be selecting this one or another more suited to gold. Although I would also like to be able to also surch for other materials as well. Thank you, Craig
Hi Craig,
Thank you for your question. So the Bounty Hunter Platinum has a waterproof search coil and shaft. The control box is not waterproof so that can not be submerged. You can detect in water at the depth of the shaft keeping sure to keep the control box dry.
As for gold. The Platinum, while being more of a treasure hunting detector can indeed find gold. But as it has a low frequency range it can struggle to find smaller nuggets.
If you are not in a rush to get a detector that is great for gold as well as everything else then I would suggest the Teknetics G2+ which will be back in stock in approximately 2-3 weeks. With covid19 we have had a few delays getting stock from America.
Below is a link to the G2+ and if you have any questions at all feel free to email us at info@detectorsdirect.com.au

What is the weight of this unit? Will it be light enough for my 12 year old daughter?
Hi,
The Bounty Hunter Platinum Metal Detector weighs around 1.1kg so is really light weight and more than suitable for your 12 year old daughter. She will absolutely love it.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
