Metal detector that will detect through stone?

[EMTFlorida]

Are there any metal detectors that can pick up metal THROUGH stone? Like, if something was buried, covered with stones, is there any detector that could pick it up?

Sure. A pulse induction detector should do it. Just can't tell how deep it goes, though.

Any detector will see through stone,so long as the stone does not have any metallic properties....which many stones DO have SOME metallic content to varying degrees. Most any detector will see see through most any stone though,they don't care too much about that.

Any detector will see through stone,.....

IDXmonster is right. "Stone" is just another form of ground (albeit harder than soil, ha). So whether stone, wood, sand, soil, air, plastic, flesh, etc..... metal detectors see through those substances. It's only other forms of metal that they can't see though.

Perfect! Thanks everyone.

Sometimes big stones will alter the actual spot where your machine says it is. In other words, pin pointing may be slightly off depending on the size and type of rock.
