Will it detect a mans gold wedding ring in leaf rakings?

Thanks a lot.I'm happy to tell you that I rented and used the detector and voila! I found it!!You were right.Eddie A

As with anything it depends on how much work you're willing to do. If you wave it over a pile of leaves 5 feet high, probably not. If the leaves are spread out over a larger area and you work over each area you'll probably be successfully. I think it's fairly sensative but someone else may not think so but I bought it to scan reclaimed lumber.

Yes within 2-3 inches depending on size of ring. Thanks, Big Boys Hobbies Metal Detectors.

My Bounty Hunter pin pointer can detect metals from 3/4" to 1" away from it's tip. But that is only after carefully fine tuning the sensitivity at the on-off knob. If you happen to touch the knob after adjustment, you stand the chance of knocking it out of adjustment and will have to start all over again. Bottom line is it's less expensive than the others on the market and it suits my needs, but it requires the user to perform sensitivity adjustment before use.

Yes it has a gold setting...though its not the best. Unless the placer is in a mine mixed with ore right on top of the ground you're not going to have much luck. (at depth) This bounty hunter gives off a low tone for gold. (which is also the tone for a lot of trash like nickle) Bounty hunter makes another detector called the "Gold Hunter" which would be better suited for placer. Cost is about $50 more but worth it. Hope this helps and good luck hunting!

It detects motion from up to 15 feet away according to the listing so if it's in that range then yes.

Yes, it will also work on land. It will however be a bit bulkier than a traditional land detector as it is designed for under water use.

Yes it will. It works in a similar fashion as does an AM radio, with respect to detecting lightning. A lightning strike puts out a broad pulse in the EM spectrum which is detectable in several different ways. As to its ability to detect range, that will be based on the closest part of the strike to your detector and not necessarily its point of origin or destination. Your distance accuracy will vary while underway, considering your in motion. Also note, the Acu-Rite will not give you direction in the case of not directly observable or simultaneous strikes.

No it's not. It has a range of about 2 inches and, as the name indicates, is designed to pinpoint the location of a metal object once a larger metal detector has shown metal to be in the general area.

Would have to say no. It works fairly well with large amounts of metal. Wouldn't detect rings, nuts, bolts, etc unless within 1 or 2 inches of source. This was a very poor quality metal detector in my opinion. I returned mine.

No, but it'll detect rusty nails, and beep at anything that even remorely contains metsllic minerals. Total piece of junk!

Not really. Its not designed to do so. It may but there is no way to tell if it is wiring or something else. The instructions give a warning that what it detects could be a stud, pipe, wire or other objects

Yes it will if it's comes within about three inches of one, if your searching large areas I would suggest a standard metal detector because of the large sweeps you can make with one. But if you generally know wear the sprinkler head is you would have no problem finding it with the Garrett

It should.. these sensors detect distances (from the sensors to the object that is close)

Yes it will work under those conditions and find your ring if you know where to look for it !I detect in areas with my time ranger where there is a lot of black magnetic sands and hot rocks this unit picks up everything my detectors costing twice as much do.. if you buy it here at Amazon like I did it is areal bargain...

To detect gold, you'll need to increase your range of frequencies, which may lead to alot of dug up scrap, but a loud solid tone should usually accompany a ring and such.

yes it does. I've had good results with it. finding my lost wedding ring in my backyard the first day I received it. this is all for fun . don't expect to get rich or find lost reassures ..etc. if you live near a beach like I do, take it out and you'll find all kinds of lost items specially after a rain storm . good luck and have fun.

It depends.If your slice box has a lot of metal in its construction, i.e. nuts bolts rivets or metal rib dividers it probably will not work at detecting fine gold particles because it will be detecting metal all the time from the construction of the box itself. Now if you're checking areas of the box with no metal in its immediate area it will probably work ok especially on larger nuggets. Detecting fine dust like particles well you would just have to try and see if it would pick up something that extremely small. For a good general purpose pinpointer as it was intended to be it works Great, I have had very good luck with mine so far and I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can use it again, it has been a valuable tool that has saved me a lot of time and aggravation, as well as helped me find things I never would have found without it. Hope this helps ...Good luck...and Good Hunting.

I haven't used mine yet but as I understand most all metals. It has different settings for what particular metal you are wanting to detect.
