how deep will it detect an object,
1275038
It depends on the size of the object and the material the object is made out of.It also depends on the ground and how mineralized that it is or is not.Even though all these things I have mentioned determine the particular depth you will be getting on any particular day, I will give an example.I would say a quarter in good dirt would pick up 8-10 inches.I hope this helps!

Not sure, never really paid it much attention, but should be about 2 to 3 inches deep. If you move your mouse over the picture, you can see how deep it is, picture is pretty much true.

No, I don't believe it would. It does detect birds in nearby trees, but not in farther trees blocked only by leaves. It would probably detect a mouse within about 20 ft., but not farther than that.....larger mammals it will detect farther than that.

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.

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

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.

About a 12 inches on fresh batteries in average soil. Sand and mineralized dirt make a difference on depth also ...Really if you get a reading around 6" then rescan again after digging down 6" it will go deep as you want...

I don't know for sure. I just stick it into my compost that is 6 " deep and I get a reading at any depth I place it in.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.

I have found things as deep as 2 feet, but I have not really used it much for deep soil searching. Use it mostly for shallow searching because it is a lot harder to find deeper.

Yes, it detects rebars, and I think nails. Please check the deep and the minimum wide range of the tool. Regards and good luck

The one I received did not work well at all. I put a test subject on the ground and it would not detect it if the detector was more than one inch above it, sometimes it would not detect it at all.

I have scanned thru 1/4" oak veneer paneling over sheet rock and located wooden studs. Franklin states that the max detection depth, under real world conditions is 1.1", and 1.5" under ideal conditions.

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!

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.

yes, but don't buy it. It is a depth finder at best --made up to look like a fish findeer and mine only lasted a few uses before it started having problems with the screen and electronics.

I would say about a foot down. I never use it on the highest sensitivity because it picks up lots of metal fragments and there to deep to dig. Sometimes it beeps and there's nothing there when I dig, so whatever it is, its got to be pretty deep down. I would also recommend a hand metal detector to shift through the dirt, because it takes a while to separate the earth to find a coin or ring.
