Prospecting with scuba

I'm buying a metal detector soon but I can't make up my mind if I should get a waterproof (200ft) detector or a land detector!

I would like to know from members if anyone has any experience and luck in underwater prospecting with scuba?

Could there be undiscovered goldfields in the ocean?

Would it be a waste of time looking for gold underwater?

Goodbye Cocos. Hello Christmas Island!: by Wandy Hochgrebe; We waved goodbye to the crew from Cocos (Keeling) Islands until our arms hurt. We were a bit sad to leave everybody behind, but also excited about what was going to come. After only an hour the plane started to descend again and we could see Christmas Island. It was very clear straight away that Christmas Island is geologically very different from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
