We're constantly fighting fences and trash to find steel pins. Does the diagram at 7:37 indicate that I can null out a fence or is it simply a fantasy?
How deep will these detect, I need to locate an underground 4" cast iron pipe about three to four feet deep and a steel rebar handle to a septic tank about the same distance underground will this work out well for that job?
Hey Phil. Idk if your question was answered. A magnetic locator will detect the iron rebar at 4" if you have the gain near or at max. It will help if you know roughly where it's located. I work at Schonstedt tuning these bad boys and I noticed it can detect a ferrous rod the size of a D cell battery to around 5" or so.
The 4' depth is no problem for a Cx. The only problem MAYBE is whether that steel material contains enough elements of ferrous material to be detected. Locators sense the Earth's magnetic fields effect on the item you're trying to find. Things like coins, copper or brass, for example won't detect. Personally, I have taken a Locator I've just turned and wave it at a steel bolt in the warehouse floor, for example, and the Locator screams pretty good so there's a good chance it will see a tank in the ground.
Magnetic Locators only find ferrous metal targets. Pipe & Cable locators can be used to induce a current onto a the cast iron pipe though. I'd recommend looking into Rex at www.schonstedt.com/rex
Im here because my super indentent gave me this thing to look for the valves we made but it fucking rings for any little thing what does batt mean? Is it bait? Gain i know might be a potential hit should i lower the sensitivity?
Came here just to hear that sound. Oh how does it bring back memories.
Used the 52 and the 92 which was sub par but easy to pack way out in the brush.
can you deliver here in the philippines? even just one item.
It reveals a few meters underground, and does it reveal copper and non-ferrous metals
How deep does it go?

It doesnt work. It detects rocks so how can you even detect up to 18feet with this device
What is the difference from a metal detector?

@Phil Huddleston I have used ga-52Cx for sale if you're interested?

do these work with non ferrous metals such as cast iron?

Cast iron is ferrous.
Great video guys
