what depths can it detect?

Depends on the soil. I have personally found large objects at 3 feet deep. Small items up to 12 inches (1 foot)

It really depends on the size of the object, which is true for most detectors anyway however I have found dimes & pennies with this detector as far down as 10 Inches.

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.

Not sure on depth but you can swim under water with it but you have to buy a waterproof headset.

Will not detect well or at all in wet saltwater sand or in saltwater, as it is too conductive. Highly mineralized ground or "black sand" as they call it may also give it fits as it does most metal detectors. You can't ground balance the unit properly to stop it from chirping away or "falsing" under these conditions. See my recent review. Hope this helps.....

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

You can set it for different depths and certain metals. We put it at medium depth and that is approx 8 inches deep round about.lot of fun and if we get a beep it is never wrong.

You can set an offset on the depth finder equal to the depth of your keel. So it will show the depth below the keel even if it is mounted on the transom. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, this meter will detect all three forms of radiation - alpha & beta particles, and gamma rays. Using the meter, you should be able to detect elevated levels of radiation if placed near the fish (not through glass). Please note, there is background radiation everywhere (your home, car, outside, work, neighborhood park, etc) so just because it clicks and registers, doesn't mean harmful levels of radiation are present. You must determine what levels are unsafe for you/your family based on scientific dosage guidelines.

i can't answer your question specifically, but i can tell you i was locating railroad spikes at a depth of more than 12"

This is an entry level finder. I use it on a lake that can see depths of 200ft. The trick is setting the unit to your conditions. One common fault of this unit is that the depth will default to very shallow when you reach about 10 knots. Sometimes I have to cycle power to get the correct reading to display. Will not buy another Lowrance at this price point.

Yes it measures above water just fine. Also, I just went outside, and it's night time and did several measurements and it works beautifully. This device takes measurements at nights when it's dark and during the brightest time of the day without any problems.

In the soil we have around here in Spokane I have found dimes at 9" nickels at 9" Pennies at 10" and sometimes I get faint signals that go off the depth gage. Hope it helps you

Yes!....it most certainly can tell you (alarm) in as little as 3 ft. You can set whatever depth you want between 3ft.-99 ft.

A one-inch hole would be plenty. If you would prefer a smaller hole, how about: 1) Clip the cable so that the sensor plate is no longer attached. 2) There are two wires in the cable; clip one of the two wires 1/4" shorter than the other. 3) Strip off some insulation from each of the two wires. Be sure not to strip so much off the longer wire that the shorter wire can touch the longer wire's bare metal, and thus sound a false alarm. Once you've done that, you could probably shove the wire through a very tiny hole and it would still do a fine job of detecting water.

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.

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.

It can also be used on land, however it will be a bit bulkier than a traditional land detector as it is designed for underwater use.
