Detecting Through Snow

[Frank Blum]

A friend of mine who is also a member of the winter search and rescue team posed a question. Will metal detectors find a snowmobile buried under several feet of snow? Anyone know? Later! Frank

Sure it will. However you didn't ask what size coil and whether it would be a VLF or PI.

OK! What MD and coil size would do it? Later! Frank

IF it? is sitting under the Snow but on top of the ground, I'd say a 10" Coil will find it under

5? Feet of Snow Easy,

Maby even 7 - 8 Feet. with the 15" W.O.T. Coil on

I'm sure I can do this with my Sovereign,
I believe I can do this with my Explorer.

I would THINK every top of the Line Brand will do it with a? comparable coil .
A SnowMobile is a Large Surface consisting of almost all metal.

HOW MANY FEET IS SEVERAL ?

 

[Frank Blum]

My definition of several is at least three. Later! Frank

Ask these guys

but seriously I'd say a 10" coil should pick it up upto 4-5 feet - my humble opinion
