john1942sept Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 5:57 pm I was reading a different post and saw that some of you use metal detectors and had an inquiry. If you're in a building with dirt floors can a metal detector be used effectively? What if it is a metal building? Thanks all. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 10:29 pm I use mine on sand playgrounds - and I love the older wooden ones with few bolts. Metal playgrounds have metal posts, creating dead zones where nothing can be detected except the post... My unscientific feeling is that metal detectors will detect anything within a certain distance of the coil, but this distance is maybe half a foot (the signal doesn't do any better through air than soil - it might actually do worse).

john1942sept Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 6:01 pm They can detect up to 3 feet when the mass is sufficient and there are no interference around. Report this Post to the Staff
