Depends on detector, if using one not designed for salt water you may not get that much if sensitivity was turned down to stop the falling. On my multi freq excal I hit coins at 20+ in all metal.

Yes, with a good PI UW Detector, you could hear a soda can at 24"+. Not a fun thing to dig up.

The Excal will hit one that deep too. Discrimination doesn't help too much on an aluminum can.

Did you say a Plane? Well, just a guess, but deeper than 8" to 12" for a can.

I wouldnt waste my money on one. It's a probe with a flat head. Probably similar performance, so maybe a couple inches. If you want to detect while scuba diving, you have to get a real detector made for that.
