Hi, I looked into this several years ago when I started milling, apparently the pulse induction  { beach type } is best for the purpose.

 

I bought a C scope CS4pi which has so far identified and led to me avoiding metal on many occasions, it's hard to judge to what depth it sees to as when it finds metal you obviously don't cut at that point but from using it I recon it detects at least up to 12".

 

 Just last month it found metal in the butt of a large spruce up to a height of about 4 feet so I just cut it above and avoided the problem...I don't suppose I'll be lucky 100% of the time,  but so far so good.....There's a second hand one on ebay at the moment....hope this helps.

Got two, nothing to do with Arbwork, one is a Whites IDX Classic (American) and I have...Modified it....yup, you can do it...call it porting... and the CScope CS4PI which is a completely different beast.

The Whites one will discriminate but is pretty poor on wet sand, the PI ones are great on wet sand with very good depth but have no discrimination.

The CS4PI does have good depth and isn't messed up with mineral content in the soil etc - both will detect small steel items to a good depth!

The Garrett hand held is really for bouncers finding knifes!
