How deep is the maximum capability of this tool to detect, (the pin-pointer could detect only 3cm - 5.5 cm distance for smaller metals)

It totally depends on what type metal it is and how large it is. Typically you can get 8-9 inches on coins. A beer can in wet sand 4 ft deep is no problem for the AT Pro either. I have had nice signals on axe heads 3-4 feet deep. My best find with my AT Pro is a 1837 1/2 dime 6 inches! This coin is very tiny.

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

I have found dimes right around 8 inches past that I couldnt pick up any signal or at least in the type of soil I have around here.

There are many variables to the maximum depth of detection for the Garrett, soil compostion and denisity, moistier, and the object you are deceting, all things being very good, taking your dectector and laying it down horizentialy, can give you a good reading of the depth of the objecy you have discovered, is part of metal hunting is more art than science. Overall the Garrett is a very good detector in a wide range of conditions. If you are not very familiar with the instrument, the video and the manual will be your greaest help until you get out and get some experence under your belt. Good Hundting!

Generally the Pro Pointer will hit about 3" or less. But if I were you I would NOT mess with buried lines, the electric company will come out and find them for you if you call and schedule an appointment.

The depth of detection varies with the metal type, oxidation level, size, shape, orientation, and background noise -- so there really is no deepest depth. So, for a single coin like a U.S. quarter, you might "sense" it at 6-8 inches, a bag of quarters somewhat deeper. A metal object such as iron will oxidize (rust) and present itself as a bigger object than it is. Also, please note the depth indication on your detector is just a guess as the actual depth will depend upon all the variables listed.

The spec says no. Even if it can, I wouldn't trust the accuracy because it is out of range. CMRR of the current sensor might not be high enough at that high current.

My personal experience was at a depth of 18-20 inches with what ended up to be a metal strap of about 1.25"Wx20"L and a circular piece of metal about 10"diameter. Granted both objects were junk metal but the detector gave a strong signal at that depth for those sizes of objects.

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

This will not work underwater and you need to be within about 3 inches to detect metal, I suggest a gaff hook and long rope.

I measured a strip with my mm ruler and it would be very close to 3mm, only a slight bit more if any!

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.

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.

I think about 6-8". It's not a professional metal detector, but it has not failed us.

Sure. The laser is pin-point. There probably is a limit to how small it will go. Some surface mount components are too small to even see! :-0

As David and Chris said, you have to be close, if the big detector signals item is shallow I will poke around with this to try and locate, but other wise I dig a hole and use the pinpointer to help locate.

Sorry can't help with question. I used it for a hidden hinge pin on small jewelry box.

No, this is for finding smaller areas. What you are describing is a metal detector paddle, which is hand held and is paddle shaped about a 18" in length and about 6" wide at the one end where the detector is located (that area is about 10" long and the handle is about 8" long and 2" wide). The Pro-Pointer could be used if you had to do so. It is able to find the titanium located in my back from a fusion that was done about nine years ago. It is just a lot smaller in size and works a little differently than the paddle wand metal detector. If you go to amazon.com and type in "hand held metal detector" there will be a huge list and you can tell the difference between the pin pointer and the paddle type. The paddle type does cost a lot more than the pin pointer, but the paddle is the type used more for security purposes. I hope this helps out.

Not sure what you mean. If you're asking how accurate it senses depth it depends. Sometimes it has been pretty accurate other times not. Don't expect any accuracy more than 6 inches deep.

I don't use a single pin, but I have put it side by side with my range finder and it is spot on. Well worth the money.
