I started a thread on this subject some time ago. In it I was recommended a cscope cs4pi. I found one second hand on eBay for £160, not cheap but works a treat. Takes a little getting used to, but I fan now detect metal at about 12" deep.

Rob D used to sell them, i got one some years ago and it has saved me loads of grief. If a tree has come out of a hedge row or can almost guarantee it has been used as a fence post

Yep, I`m glad you found it works, I spent weeks trying to research this subject and came up with cs4pi as one of a few best bets, although pulse induction models are apparently normally sold for detecting in water or wet sand, I spoke to the tech department at the factory who thought it might be a good candidate for finding metal in lumber.

 

If your managing to detect at 12" that`s great, it`s a good deal more than the general expectations that many folks had in this debate and as you say ,it`s a bit of a dark art to learn to use and understand the results.

 

Found any gold yet ?? Cheers.

No gold, but my 5 year old wanted to detect in our woods, so we did once for 10 mins, we found a shotgun shell, an old style ring pull and an old belt buckle. The first and probably last time I will detect anything except a log. I always think of trigger happy TV where the guy on the beach finds the big tw?* sign they planted. Classic

Bit of a thread bump but I see Fuelwood Warwick are advertising a metal detection option for the Lucas sawmill.

I am not sure if this is purpose built or adapted from the treasure hunting machines

It claims a detection depth of 14".

 

It would be handy if it was fixed to the carriage somehow and would make a bright red light come on every time it sensed something on the next run over to the right, as you cannot hear a buzzer very well over the saw blade noise.

 

 

On the American sites a Garrett 250 Ace seems to be favourite and I see they are about £183 on Amazon
