If I had a coin in my fist, can it easily detect that it's in my hand without the wand touching my hand?

Bret. I have never tried that. I do know that it works without having to physically touching a patron with it. I love it.

I cannot exactly answer your question with confidence, but I can say this...I wanted to do something similar and found this device to be worthless. The only positive thing I can say about it was that it came with two fairly standard sized coin batteries, so I still had them when I threw it away.

I was not sure, since it is at my grandson's house now, but I found another reviewer, DJ Joe Sixpack, who said " Even without batteries, the drawer will still open and a coin slot still works (with a very satisfying spring-action device that chucks the plastic coins into a holding tray...) With the AAs plugged in, though, you get plenty of ding-ding-chingg stimuli, as well as math-game options that may be quite rewarding for kids who are ready for arithmetic." Hope that helps!

It only works when you touch the silver around the face. It will read on any bare skin like your arms when crossed or on your bare leg.

You twist the black area directly underneath the wand to the little unlocked symbol! Hope this helps

you can use manually add money. If you need to manually press "minus" when you take a few coins out

I bought this as a gift for my son, so I never has it in my hands. I asked my daughter-in-law and she said she doesn't think it has this capability.

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.

This machine is very limited in detecting fake money. It is primarily for counting. And it does.

Can't say for sure, but I do know that I don't have one big enough for it to detect.

No it does not. It's a small unit a little larger than the flat of the hand.

Yes you could look at coins but it'll be a little darker unless you have some good lighting above, since the only light on the scope is underneath. I've used it to look at things like coins though. It works!

There is a pin seeker mode on the range finder that would help with this. If your hands shake, it will give you multiple readings when it scans but you will easily be able to identity which one is the pin. You shouldn't have any trouble getting an accurate reading.

If the Pocket Wizard has a sync cord, yes. Otherwise, these units also Can be triggered by another flash, or with infared.

No. You have to use coins or open the top to get the gum out. The handle won't move without a coin.

Yes it does and it is sensitive. It only reads the one finger used. You can bypass it but you have to know how to get there and then know passwords.

Sure! Would be the perfect wand for detecting a gun, a knife, or any hidden metal object on a person.
