which metals does it detect
1519733
Pretty much any metal that conducts electricity: iron, steel, aluminum, copper, gold, silver, lead, tin, titanium, platinum, zinc.

The metal detector will work fine in all terrains, the only things that will mess with it are areas that re high in metal content. Water puddles might not work real well either.

It will detect the metal but it's difficult to pinpoint location of metal with the wand.

This unit is touchy...but it will detect wood, metal and electrical. It is vital to calibrate it each time before you try the actual scan I place the unit against the wall and my other hand on the same wall this helps to calibrate it. After it settles you can start your scan.

Personaly I have not found any gold. But it says that Bounty Hunter LONEGWP Lone Star Metal Detector will detect gold. People have found gold without buying another coil. It's a very good detector for the price. Hope this helps.

No it's not. It has a range of about 2 inches and, as the name indicates, is designed to pinpoint the location of a metal object once a larger metal detector has shown metal to be in the general area.

Unless you will br doing chemical analysis, how can you tell the real amounts of heavy metals in any product?

I've owned this detector for a couple of years. It has performed well. To respond to your question; No consumer grade metal detector I am aware of is sensitive to the physical shape of any metal. There need only be an adequate amount of that metal for the detector coil chosen to sense a 'return' and transmit that back to the display. Certain coils are wound to better detect gold than others. If gold is what you're going for I suggest you look into also picking up a gold finding coil from BountyHunter.

HI! it only makes a sound over metal! =-) It is a really great little detector. In time my son (12 years ole and brilliant) LOL does want a more professional one that will actually filter out junk from the good stuff . Those are a few hundred dollars so that will be when he is much older. For now he LOVES this thing and when we bring it to the playground or beach he has a ton of little followers that are intrigued beyond belief. SO far my son has found an old belt buckle (1800's) old medicine bottle (again (1800's era) tons of coins. =-)

hello . yes it will certainly detect the ring if it were me i would run the all metal mode first . if the ring is in water dont let the control box get in the water. it must stay dry. not sure about salt water searching though, probably not the best choice for the wet side of the salt water beach . hope this helps and good luck !

All this device does is measure mow many dissolved solids are in the water, not what they are. It could be iron, lead, calcium, chlorine, benzine, whatever. what your looking for is a gas spectrometer. Very much outside the range of handheld gadgetry.

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

It detects gold, silver and iron and gives an approximate depth notation so you know if you are looking at something close to the surface or deeper. It has a headphone jack to allow more accurate listening, also silent operation which is important in public areas. You can tune it to rule out metals you don't want to pick up like aluminum or copper, for instance. The different tones, once you learn them, help to distinguish between the different metals as well.

It detects gold very well! I lost my wedding band deep in a huge pile of shredded leafy mulch. It took awhile to find it, but when I got near it, it sang out like a banshee.

Not sure, I'm a beginner with experience with a cheaper brand. After using this model I must admit my old metal detector "toraso cultus" is much easier to use and detects just as deep. I'm not certain the price gives me that much more of a detector. I'm still learning it but am becoming a little frustrated.

I have not used it on sand myself, so I am not sure. However I will say that it seems to "detect" metal in everything, despite whether it is metalic or not.

Definatly, this works very well at finding metal. It does not work so well at detecting the DIFFERANCE between metals. We normally find old steel nails even just tiny rusted pieces of them as far as 6" below compact ground. My guess is you will be looking for steel posts just under the leaves, the key is you will need to pass the detector DIRECTLY OVER THE post you are looking for. Its not going to tell you "if your close", a metal object on the ground within an inch of the outer ring will not set it off it must pass over the object to set it off. Hope this helps
