Is this detector able to detect diamond? I am trying to find a diamond from a ring that fell out a number of years ago in my garden.

Can't say for sure, but I do know that I don't have one big enough for it to detect.

no...just metal. if you know where you dropped the diamond your best beat it the get a fine screen and sift the dirt.. you will find it.

Sorry, metal detectors cannot find loose diamonds . Since you have and idea where it is, use a flour strainer to sift the soil.

Yes, you just place the tip on any shape diamond and the lights will tell you if the diamond is real or not. The diamond tester does not hold the diamonds

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

The hand held pointer will not detect items under the ground. It is to find objects that have already been dug up using a metal detector. When items are in dirt and sand etc. sometimes they are hard to see and the pointer is used to find the objects.

This depends on the size of the object. I have found larger objects that were 8" to 10" down. Usually it will detect smaller objects 4" to 6" down.I hope that this helps.

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. =-)

The price on Amazon is back up to $279 now, at $169 it was too good a deal for me to pass up! I don't know why it was more than $100 off the regular price, but it's a great metal detector. It's far better than my "starter detector", and honestly, it's even worth $279.

No. You can't accurately test in settings. It can give you false negatives due to the metal. It is however very accurate with loose stones. Only issues I encountered were with black diamonds, and synthetic or natural emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

You do have to be pretty close to the wire for the sensor to pick it up, so I don't think it would detect it at all underground. Besides that, even if it could, it's not designed to clarify where an abrupt end to a signal is, so if you lost the signal, it could mean the wire is broke or you are no longer following the wire. Bottom line, this tool is not the way to resolve your problem.

I think you would want something a little more sophisticated with a pancake tube. The Inspector or PRM 8000. This is a great little detector but you need something more sensitive and quicker. You would need to bucket some water then test it over a bit of time. Either of the units mentioned will measure over time.

Well, I have not tried it out on a uv source, but I suspect that, at best, it would be pretty inaccurate for that purpose. It is designed for the range of wavelengths in sunlight, and only a small percentage of that is uv. An even smaller percentage is uvb. So using it as a uv detector would, at best, be using a small tail of its range. Maybe someone has tried that and can give a better answer, but I think a detector designed for uv would be better.

If it is inside the home, any detector will be difficult to locate the ring. This one will definitely pick it up, however it will ring up nearly the same as a nail or pull tab.

As long as it is properly balanced, yes. I often use this when I hunt beaches or clay heavy soil - which other detectors simply spaz out on. Check out my review for more info.

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

The unit is undetectable to older VG2 radar detector detectors. It probably IS detectable to the newer Spectre Stalker Elete radar detector detectors.

I haven't used mine yet but as I understand most all metals. It has different settings for what particular metal you are wanting to detect.

Sorry...no one I've asked understands what is meant by are they (imitation Diamonds) "traceable"; Please clarify.
