The distance detects mineral firm or rocky soil, which detects metal? and is submersible in water if

Hi Edgar, Thank you for your question. You have the flexibility of land and underwater detecting as the CTX 3030 is waterproof* to 10 ft (3 m).

My son has found things around 3 foot under but its also detected things that even after digging wasn't found so Utah detect even further.

can't answer with any authority. I assume it would have something to do with the hardness of the water and how the material disperses the minerals and metals contained in typical water.

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.

It is taken just at the bottom. There is a notch 2 inches from the tip of the probe that indicates how far to insert it into the soil.

The probes are approximtely 3 1/2 inches in length. Long enough of check soil depth to a couple of inches.

It will not test the salinity. It test the amonia, pH, nitrite and nitrate levels. What your looking for is a refractometer

It can detect a dime at 9-10 inches in good soil and ID it correctly. Larger objects, deeper. Deeper than that, an object near it's limit of detection, typically will ID as iron on VLF machines. As my location has very bad soil, I am routinely limited to 3-5 inches, and quickly learned that depth is not they key characteristic you look for. The E-Trac's seperation (between targets and trash) and ability to detect coins on edge make seperate it from other detectors.

I didn't bother to look at the bottle, as minerals are millions of years old. Magnesium and calcium deposits are found in the dirt/ground. The form of magnesium in this bottle is in the ocean in large amounts. If you live at the ocean you can go swimming and get the same thing as in this bottle. I live in Minnesota, thus no ocean here...

It has metal on the bottom that touches the water. This metal tends to rust quickly. Eventhough I keep it dry between uses. Not sure if it's a product defect or because I live close to the ocean --

Depth is determined by several factors. Size of target, metal conductivity, mineralization of the soil, and coil size. On this particular detector for example, a coin size object can could be detected at approx. 6 to 8 inches.

The system has a floating sensor that will trig when water level drop about 1/4 if an inch .The only problem with this ATO it's that make sure that float sensor it's free of algae, salt or any calcium deposit .

I'm not sure , but this is a great mineral . I can already tell a difference . I couldn't tell a difference in the way I feel on other minerals.

You cannot see the shape of the target on the screen, only a bargraph indicating conductivity and a grid showing approximate size and depth. The maximum depth that it can detect is about 1/3 of a meter.

Depth detection often depends on the size and mass of the object. I have found good detection over a foot deep, but items were whole beverage cans or a piece of large steel cable for example. Coin detection limit, depending on what soil your in, is about six to eight inches. Hope this will help.

I have used it to find an iron pipe about 18" underground. Sometimes it would lose track of the pipe and then pick it up further down the line. Not sure why this is. If it could only find exactly where the leaks are it would really be amazing! Unfortunately, metal detectors are not designed to locate leaks, they just locate the pipe which is a big help. I have found three leaks in an old irrigation system thus far but the next one is still eluding me. There must be a leak as water is going in and not coming out. It has also picked up miscellaneous things a couple of inches from the surface located while searching for the pipe. I have been very pleased with it especially given the price.

I would buy a better metal detector. ... this one is very cheap. ... u need to be really close to the metal in order for it to detect.
