What deep does it detect?

I have detected a 3/4" metal pipe 12-18 inches underground. This is why I bought it and it did the job. Hope this helps.

Haven't really been able to use it but twice. I would say I've found things at least 5" under sand. Like I say, not able to test its capabilities due to lack of time.

Yes pretty easy I measured tank depth and it tells you how long to set it at for the depth just gotta make sure it is mounted between baffles so it don't hit them if tank is baffled

it detects all sort of metals, gold can be detected if not far buried beneath the ground. i did research on what i had purchased and it gave me some great insight on how to set it at different levels to obtain gold, nickle and silver, good luck.

Perhaps you have had your question answered already. The depth measures one inch.

At its deepest, it's probably about 2 inches. That's an educated guess, but I'll bet I'm not off by much. :)

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 went back and looked for the correct depth it says 1 1/2 inches deep. Way deep enough!

This is an entry level finder. I use it on a lake that can see depths of 200ft. The trick is setting the unit to your conditions. One common fault of this unit is that the depth will default to very shallow when you reach about 10 knots. Sometimes I have to cycle power to get the correct reading to display. Will not buy another Lowrance at this price point.

Yes it most certainly will...I am a fisherman and have used this to determin how deep a fish has taken a hook!

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!!!

I detected metal pipes approx 5 or 6 inches below the ground. Have never used for "treasure" hunting, only wire and pipe locator and it worked great

That is a loaded question. It would depend on many factors. First how big the buried object is. For example a coin sized object ( Say a quarter ) may get 5" where as a garbage can lid might come in at 22". The next factor is how much discrimination you use. On all metal you will get more depth but pick up more trash items. Under ideal circumstances you would never even pick up that trash can lid if you had iron nulled out. Other factors are too many to name but soil condition, moisture of grass and sensitivity settings are all going to count towards depth. If you are looking to find old deep buried coins then this is not the right unit for you. I have two detectors. I use this Bounty hunter for the beach and play grounds where is handles great. For parks and old sites I have a more expensive detector that no Bounty hunter made could match the depth on. With my good detector I have found old dimes at 13". I love the bounty hunter and it paid for itself in a few weeks with a gold ring it found but it has its limitations. The old saying "You get what you pay for". You cannot expect a $100 detector to do what a $2000 detector can do. Lastly, experience and time in the field ( knowing what the heck you are doing ) is key. Hope this helped

I just went out to see and as I towel off, I would say 25 feet. The manual states the detection range is 35 deep and 50ft across. We have it set for deer so it shoots higher. I hope that answers your question.

You can set an offset on the depth finder equal to the depth of your keel. So it will show the depth below the keel even if it is mounted on the transom. Hope this helps.

I looked at the user's manual and it did not list the level of detection. However, the unit has worked without a problem. It was installed new in March of 2013. Hope this helps.

Yes it will detect gold jewelry, gold bars and coins. The DD coil and shaft is water proof but not the head or control box.. Some of the gold items show up in the mid range tone ... So you should pretty much dig every target it detects in that range.... Although beverage pull tabs and gold rings sound the same in this detectors ring tone. I've found 6 gold rings and 1 gold earring at the beach in the sand all in the mid tone range...Best of luck !John C.

Yes, but it will false in the wet salt water sand, unless you turn the sensitivity way down, which will reduce your depth to shallow surface finds. The coil will work in the shallow freshwater, just don't drop the detector or get the control box wet.
