Can this be used to recover brass shell casings hidden by taller grass at a range?

Sure its metal and brass is a great conductor, but this is a hand held small device usually used after a larger device narrows down an area so you can pinpoint it fast. This means you have to be pretty close to the ground and wanding the area and it will activate within a couple inches probably not more than 4 inches away. If there is a lot of metal trash in the area it will pick it up too. If the casings are on top the ground and there is not a lot of metal trash debris a cheap metal detector would most likely do fine as well.

If there is metal below the surface of the ground it will signal the presence of it. So if you can bring it closer to the ground it should work up to four inches above the ground.

Yes. If you get your pointer within an inch or two it will sound off! I have found metal items in grass that I was not even looking for. Pointer is extremely sensitive and would work great for finding brass in tall grass. The closer the pointer gets to the case, the faster the pointer will beep and vibrate.

I have found this will pick up all types of metal at a range of 4 inches with a strong signal, You can use it like a wand and wave it over the grass. I have even got things at 5-6 inches but the signal is weak. I don't regret buy this its great. Pinpointing at its BEST!

I use this as an accessory tool with my metal detector and have found several metal objects and coins on the surface using this pin pointer. To find surface objects such as brass casings or any other metallic objects, you will have to put the pin pointer as close to the ground as possible, if not on the ground, and "sweep" with it. The closer to the ground you can get the better. I hope this helps you!

Hi Michael,,The answer is yes, the pro-pointer will pick up items made of brass. But searching through long grass, like you mentioned, it'd probably be much easier to locate items in enviroment like that with a metal detector first if you have one. Find it with the metal detector and then use the pin-pointer if needed. GL, Rick

Hi... sorry, but I am of no help here as I've not yet used this tool. Got it as I am a gadget head. I've stainless pin tumbler cleaned about 2300 brass cases but have not yet used this reloading tool. Hope your re-loading efforts go well.

I use it for gas range top. It cuts through this gooey grease but you have to let it sit for a minute after spraying.

Have just used the product on brass. Cannot answer that for you. Works wonder on brass.

I'm sure you could, it might weaken the metal. But it would be worth a shot. I do like it a lot! It works great, and I can do a lot of shells in a short amount of time. I hope this helps.

I would not recommend this device for the purpose specified due to the water pressure. At full water pressure, to get the maximum area coverage, the fine spray would shift the grass seeds; it produces a strong stream. If the water pressure is shallow, the device would require numerous moves to cover the seeded area. If the heads are directed up, more area would be covered but water would be wasted in the process.

Its used to tumble brass casings and nuts and bolts. U fill it with corn cob or ground walnut shell media.

You need a small screwdriver. In the field we would just pick up one of our 5.56 brass casings and use the bottom of it to adjust.

Yes, but you have to swage the primer pocket first and also check to make sure the surplus brass has the right type of primer hole.

It can b/c the resizer die has the decap tool in it, but it's recommended you use a universal decapper THEN tumble your brass so you don't junk up the inside of your dies. I did that once, and will never do it again.

I'm sorry, I can not answer your question. I only use it for cleaning rife and pistol brass .

I'd say it works better than a nut gatherer the tines are closer together I haven't had any fall out I'd guesstimate about 100 to 130 pistol cases depending on caliber and size maybe more never counted to be honest. We practice and qualify on sand and this works just fine. The emptying attachment that comes with it works great. Picks up .223/.) 556 just fine. I love mine saves my back at the range after practice and qualifying I have the caliber sorters for the bucket too and love that also

I've never tried it, so I don't know. It does a great job polishing empty ammo brass using standard polishing media (generally material like dried/ground corn cobs or walnut shells). My thought is that this unit would do a great job polishing rocks/semi-precious gemstones with appropriate media (different sands). I'm an engineer, so I would also guess the abrasiveness of sand and various rocks/stones would also cause quite a bit of wear inside the Lyman Tumbler. Just a guess. Ask the manufacturer ... they might be able to help!

I use in on gas range, but I am assuming you can because it is stainless steel. .

I don't know..I have used it on mostly brass..I think it probably would work..would not be afraid to try it

I have used this to clean/polish rifle and pistol brass. I used rice along with the brass and the results are good. Make sure you clean the flash holes.

I use this tool in an RCBS case prep machine. I hand prep my brass for the first 250 rounds of .308 and then bought mine. Takes only seconds per case and my hands don't hurt anymore.
