how depth can it detect?

It can detect a dime at 9-10 inches in good soil and ID it correctly. Larger objects, deeper. Deeper than that, an object near it's limit of detection, typically will ID as iron on VLF machines. As my location has very bad soil, I am routinely limited to 3-5 inches, and quickly learned that depth is not they key characteristic you look for. The E-Trac's seperation (between targets and trash) and ability to detect coins on edge make seperate it from other detectors.

The shape of the target cannot be seen on the screen, but the approx. size of the target can. Depth is determined by several factors. Size of target, metal conductivity, mineralization of the soil, and coil size.

I am sure the depth finder will work fine. Probably need to see about a map apart from the one that comes on it.You would be able to use the GPS also.

I've not actually checked but my guess would be about 12-15 inches in depth.

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.

I have found things as deep as 2 feet, but I have not really used it much for deep soil searching. Use it mostly for shallow searching because it is a lot harder to find deeper.

If it is a small item it will need to almost touch it .larger items it will detect it around 1 maybe 2 inches away .

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.

Yes, reads depth and water temperature. Does a pretty good job of displaying bottom structure, too.

Yes it displays water depth quite accurately. Had it in shallows ...3 feet showing on the display and when i look over my porta bote it did look about 3 feet. So it works great finding the depth against my lake charts.

The side view will tell you how far the fish is away from you but not how deep it is. It's a really great portable finder.

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.

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor.Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

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.

It will detect movement 360 degrees directly below the sensor in an umbrella-type coverage.... Otherwise, It can only detect motion 180 degrees.

I have scanned thru 1/4" oak veneer paneling over sheet rock and located wooden studs. Franklin states that the max detection depth, under real world conditions is 1.1", and 1.5" under ideal conditions.

2" deep unless you use an extender. Extender can significantly increase the depth based on its length.
