Can it be used at the beach near water?

Great for dry sandy beaches. Near the water line or wet sand, you will have to get use to adjusting the sensitivity settings to find what works best. Mike/Alabama

Yes, but it will false in the wet salt water sand, unless you turn the sensitivity way down, which will reduce your depth to shallow surface finds. The coil will work in the shallow freshwater, just don't drop the detector or get the control box wet.

Yes, it is water proof up until where you plug the cord into the box. I've used mine in the water at the beach with no problems.

It certainly could be used at the beach or lake. My husband bought it after his double knee replacement surgery because it is extra high and easy to get in and out of. We're using it outside in front of our camper.

I really don't know.. We haven't used ours yet at the beach. I guess it could be used on a concrete surface if you put a blanket for comfort in there..

No, it has not been used at the beach. I wonder if the weight of the cart contents might make the wheels difficult to maneuver in the sand, but I really have no idea how useful it would be in that situation.

Yes, just don't get it packed with sand. That's never good on electronics. We use ours on the boat every weekend in FL

Yes, this will work by a pool as well as the beach. The bottom is made of a solid 'tarp' like material. Hope that helps!

Our daughter used it on the beach with good results. I'd say water resistant, not waterproof.

Yes. I haven't used it at the beach, but sand should filter right out of the bag.

i dont believe you can, it should say in the instructions but i wouldnt put it in water you can probably skim over the water and it would work. it has worked very well on dry land

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high as possible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would not take that chance. Joseph

I wouldn't, you need longer stakes for a beach, the sand won't hold them well and wind is more likely at a beach I would try 3 feet stakes

i would not use it for that at all , just to play with it in the sea may be ok but will not take a lot of waves I seen that after being out on my boat with it

Yea, it works so great. I've used it at the beach and in the ocean and pool and it's perfect!

This can be used in salt water. It's probably geared more for people intending to use it at the beach in salt water than in a pool. Just follow the instructions and soak it in fresh water after your trip to the beach. Be sure not to open the rubber seals while it is still wet.

I haven'tried it at the beach. There is a fin that hold it in place in the car between the seat and the console which would probably not remain steady in the sand, especially with a cup making it unbalanced.

I would seriously not place this anywhere near water. It's not got for its intended purpose (extremely cheap, falls apart, not dense), so I would recommend you find something more suitable for a work/industrial environment.
