How to find metal

If you need one tool to handle it all, try one of our MultiScanner® tools. These powerful devices include a dedicated Metal Scan mode and will locate ferrous (magnetic) metals up to 3 inches (76 mm) deep. This includes rebar, steel pipes, joist hangers and stud protector plates. Our MultiScanner® products also find non-ferrous metal (non-magnetic) such as copper or aluminum up to 1 1/2 inches deep (38 mm).

For those times when you need something more powerful, give one of our dedicated MetalliScanner® tools a try. These devices focus only on metal and increase the range up to 6 inches.
