Do you think this will detect property survey pins?

Definatly, this works very well at finding metal. It does not work so well at detecting the DIFFERANCE between metals. We normally find old steel nails even just tiny rusted pieces of them as far as 6" below compact ground. My guess is you will be looking for steel posts just under the leaves, the key is you will need to pass the detector DIRECTLY OVER THE post you are looking for. Its not going to tell you "if your close", a metal object on the ground within an inch of the outer ring will not set it off it must pass over the object to set it off. Hope this helps

Yes. It will find them and most everything else that is metal. Most pins are not buried deep (unless the earth has often been grated.)

Yes absolutely as long as they are made of metal. Mine often finds small nails as deep as 6" in the ground.

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.

Absolutely. There is a free software you can use to transfer way points to the unit as well via USB. I'm currently using it to locate and mark utility manholes.

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

I think it will if you are monitoring just that sensor.The more sensors you monitor and longer update time.

There is software called scan-and-stitch, which I have not used, that says it will.

Yes, it will. The first pin is (-) and each pin from there is (+) allowing to check 1-6 cells.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

I don't know. We are using the scanner as a POS for retail sales and for inventory. We will try it on a QR bar code and let you know soon

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.

Absolutely! This will detect very small nails thru plaster and wood. I have been impressed by this tool every time I use it. -Roger

No. It should detect is as a USB device. Check your USB port connections and if your USB drivers were installed (if you have an older version of Windows).

This item is a surface mount detector that I purchased to replace my factory installed unit (same unit). If you look at the MTI site you will likely find your answer.

It might do it, however it may very well be a time consuming process...U may want to start with a meter to narrow it down before you use this.

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

This detector "comes with" several features not found in less expensive models. It has a 'pin pointer' feature that is useful. Study the manual.I purchased a Garrett "Pro Pointer" which I use in conjunction with the detector. Use the included earphones.

I have this tool and have used it on lots of different walls - but haven't used it to find rebar or post tension . I would have to say with some time spent using this sub-scanner figuring out a setting with a scrap piece of concrete with rebar in it - it should pinpoint it ! I have found through this scanner in drywall/ plywood how someone covered up mistakes with out tearing out drywall / plywood walls ! On that project it paid for itself !
