Q: How deep can this metal detector scan?
It's rated to signal ferrous objects up to 4" deep and non-ferrous metal up to 2" deep, using a combined tone and LED alarm to flag a hit.
Pinpoint mode
Highly effective for locating metal behind walls or concealed in lumber or other non-metallic materials, this scanner signals ferrous objects up to 4" deep and non-ferrous material up to 2" deep with a high-pitched tone/LED combination alarm.
It has two scanning modes: wide-area and pinpoint. Wide-area scanning detects concealed metal that could cause costly damage to hand and power tools – a consideration for anyone working with thick slabs or salvaged lumber – and can also locate metal pipe behind walls or studs in lath-and-plaster construction. Using pinpoint mode, you can refine the scan to home in on nails, screws or other small targets.
Operates on an included 9V battery.
It's rated to signal ferrous objects up to 4" deep and non-ferrous metal up to 2" deep, using a combined tone and LED alarm to flag a hit.
Wide-area mode is best for sweeping a broad section of wall or lumber to catch concealed pipe or hardware before you cut into it. Pinpoint mode narrows the scan once you know roughly where a nail, screw or other small target is hiding.
Yes, wide-area scanning can locate metal pipe behind walls or studs, which is useful in lath-and-plaster construction where you can't see what's inside the wall.
It runs on a single 9V battery, which is included, so it's ready to scan right out of the package.
