The included 8" waterproof round open-frame concentric coil gives the Alpha dependable performance for parks, yards, fields, and shallow coil-depth water use. The control box itself is not weatherproof.
Lightweight and Simple to Use
At approximately 2.3 lbs, the Alpha is easy to swing for longer hunts. Its simple layout, LCD display, and single 9V battery power make it a practical entry-level detector.
