How deep will it detect? As well as using this to treasure hunt, I would like to use it to detect metal pipes etc. on my property. Thanks

Not too sure yet, I got if for my wife for Christmas, and the ground is hard froze here in Iowa. But she did find a copper rod that was 6" below the surface the only time she tried so far.

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.

Depth is determined by several factors. Size of target, metal conductivity, mineralization of the soil, and coil size. On this particular detector for example, a coin size object can could be detected at approx. 6 to 8 inches.

It will actually go about 3 feet on a coffee can in all-metal mode or a hub cap, this detector in all-metal mode goes deeper than any VLF that I tested it against, and with the correct dual coil the treasure hound it will go about 15 feet on larger targets no problem! I have owned mine for about 5 years and I have found quarters at 18 inches, this is a professional detector and will give you years of trouble free service!!!

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

I've owned this detector for a couple of years. It has performed well. To respond to your question; No consumer grade metal detector I am aware of is sensitive to the physical shape of any metal. There need only be an adequate amount of that metal for the detector coil chosen to sense a 'return' and transmit that back to the display. Certain coils are wound to better detect gold than others. If gold is what you're going for I suggest you look into also picking up a gold finding coil from BountyHunter.

Most probably. You will need to get a 1/4" male to 3.5mm female connector, such as Monoprice 105493 6.35-mm Mono Plug to 3.5mm Metal Jack AdapterExcellent metal detector at a great price.

I have been an Electronics Tech for 30 years now and have repaired countless industrial detectors I tested this unit the GTI in all-metal mode against 6 other top of the line detectors and the GTI 2500 went deeper than all of the other units 42.5 inches on a water pipe and deeper than the new Garrett AT Gold when using the 8.5X 11 DD coil it will detect to 15 feet when using there double coil! I have found larger targets at 3 feet in all-metal mode and coins from 2 inches to 18 inches this is a great detector although it is a little heavy compared to other detectors.

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

I would buy a better metal detector. ... this one is very cheap. ... u need to be really close to the metal in order for it to detect.

I would guess that it would if you hold it close enough to the ground, but do you really want to crawl around swiping every inch of your property? Might be better off with one of those stand up metal detectors like people use for beach combing. Just a thought.

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

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.

Yes. It will detect gold very well. If you use discriminate, set it at a low setting for detecting smaller things like rings, ear rings etc. You might find yourself digging some trash but you won't miss thin pieces of jewelry. In very low trash areas I stay on the all metal settings. Good luck....Kit

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.

Yes this would be an excellent choice for that. I use mine for metal detecting and it picks up all coins and even foil. Good product good price.

Yes it will if it's comes within about three inches of one, if your searching large areas I would suggest a standard metal detector because of the large sweeps you can make with one. But if you generally know wear the sprinkler head is you would have no problem finding it with the Garrett
