MAG 505 Metal Detector Efficiency

Detection Efficiency

The detection sensibility of Deepers MAG 505 can be adjusted by means of the strength meter that is right at hand for the operator. This way adjustment on the equipment can be made according to the depth chosen for the search.

The MAG 505’s efficiency is exceptional

A 4 inch long knife will be detected buried at 12 to 16 inches.
A pistol will be localized at 24 inches deep or up to 32 inches deep depending on the amount of iron it contains.
A jewelry box with dimensions 12 x 6 x 4 inches with a lock will be detected buried at a depth of 51 inches.
A cookie tin, 10 x 10 x 4 inches, will be localized buried at over 51 inches deep.
A rifle can be detected at over 60 inches deep depending on the amount of iron it contains.
A big 5 gallon oil can is detected at 6 feet.
A traveling trunk is detected at 6 ½ feet.
An iron trunk, like the military use, will be detected at 12 feet deep.
A safe can be detected at 13 feet deep.
A guns deposit (depending on the size) can be found at 5 ½ feet deep
A black sand deposit (important for gold prospectors) can be detected, depending on its volume, any where from 9 to 12 feet deep.

Note: Detecting a target is very important, but localizing it with precision is also very important. Many detectors can find a target, but indicating where one is exactly will make your digging much easier and precise. The Deepers MAG 505 can localize a deep target and give you a precise (plus or minus 4 inches) vertical position on the surface with great ease.
