SORRY!?
But! I'm Afraid that you're out of luck....
One type of "Stud Find" uses a small magnet and the other type uses a mass discriminator!? ?
Neither of which will work or penerate soil!?
I'd suggest that you check? ?? some of the DIY Sites and maybe find one that you can build!?
What are you looking for ?

Darn . I Guess nobody knows how to make a pinpointer , I really wanted to build one since I certainly can not afford a $100+
Hand Held Pinpointer , I know how to Solder and I was really hoping to build one with around a 6 Inch long Probe.
Please if Anyone Knows Please Tell Me. Thanks.

I havent found the need for a pinpointer yet. I dig in grass alot and find i only need to cut a plug about the size of a pop can to do the job. I just watch the ground while I swing and dont have any trouble

Try here:

He posted in the Dealer Classifieds yesterday and has a little pinpointer called the Little Wizard 2 for $16.95 shipped.? He gave a little further info on it when asked, and then I looked on epinions and believe it or not it had 2 for 2 really good reviews (not specifically for MD, but given the descriptions in the reviews I believe it will actually work).? I'm going to go ahead and order one from him next week to give it a whirl... If it works, great, if not I'm only out the $17.

As an alternate plan, check with buckmild here on the boards, I believe he made one for himself.

Cheers.

i have the wizard,its pretty much a stud finder,it will pick up coins an metal down to about 2-3 inches,if you wind a bigger coil for it it will go deeper.
