I use an underwater metal detector would this be practical to use underwater as a scraping/ digging tool? I am trying to avoid rust.

It would work for that as it is stiff how ever there are probably better options out there like a small gardening shovel or something like that.

It's pretty solid plastic, I think it would do well for a while at least. I just unfortunately don't know how it will hold up or if it's strong enough for what you will dig or scrape

Wouldn't be very effective, no more than any other plastic shovel. It's "blade" is probably a half inch wide. Look into backpacking latrine digging shovels maybe? Cold steel has some knives meant for actual stabbing made of composite plastic. This is just for training I think.

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 --

Depends on how deep they are. This will discover metalic objects perhaps an inch below the surface, but it's prime use is to "pinpoint" the operator closer towards the object he/she seeks that the metal detector has already found.

The torch appears to be water resistant. Once the battery has been installed and the torch is closed, there does not seem to be a great danger of wetting the internal circuitry. Even so, I would not attempt to use this product as an underwater torch. For that role it would need to be more than water resistant, it would need to be water proof. There is a lack of product information delivered with the torch, but I would not I am still pleased with the torch and I do not fear taking it into the rain.

I haven't used it underwater, but it is plastic. The only thing I would think is its accuracy in that situation for white balancing your shots or video. That would require some testing.

You could also get a handheld metal detector, and use a wire brush to brush the boards. . you also need to lookout for rocks, dirt, or other small dense objects

Thank you for the question. Firstly I haven't owned this long enough to see rust (for sure, unless your living near the ocean) Secondly this is built like a tank, nothing at all like the "standard" EMT shears I have owned before. That being said just like any tool of quality, I take care of it... a touch of oil, should help in keeping any rust at bay for sure, again.... I have yet to see any show up at all.

I've used this detector for a few times now and the one with the 8 inch coil gets about 7inches on a quarter sized object. As far as metal pipes, I've dug a few at over a foot deep, but that's just me.

Should be great, just rinse it off and wipe it down if you take it scuba diving and it should last for years. I am not sure but believe the hardware is probably stainless, the quality is good.

It is made to pick up screws and other small objects. I wouldn't use it in water.

You can use this item to catch and store water. However, you will have to dump out the water frequently if you don't want to risk the iron banding rusting.

Yes it is a complete metal detector. It is a good basic unit to learn with. I would suggest also looking at what they call a probe to narrow down the item once you dig a hole. It helps locate small items. They are many brands out there and do a good job.

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

I use mine for drilling into the ground to loosen the soil in my gold prospecting hobby. It has held up very well with no issues, and must be of a good quality or I would have broken or bent it by now. A PVC septic line should be easy work for this tool.

It will find every spec of metal in the ground. All you will be able to tell is if it is iron or not. It also dose not come with a protective coil cover and Amazon doesn't sell them. If gold is your primary goal it will pull double duty for treasure but it will be like riding a bike down the interstate. slow and you find every bump. If you are after treasure first gold second maybe look at the garrett at models. I believe they are water proof.

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.

It is metal; however, it is great for digging through the sand for clams and in some rocks. It has been a strong piece to use, especially in salt water, which is where I use it.
