Oct 04, 2011 From what i've seen, a good metal detector will scan about 6 or 7' into a log. That helps but i wouldn't call it great. I posted some milling picts on line and won a 'wan style' detector, it won't even go that deep. You can buy a detector made for the specific purpose of scanning logs, and i'm told it works VERY good.
You don’t need a special license to own a metal detector. However, as a hobbyist, it’s important to know the general rules and regulations that apply to metal detector use.

- Some cities allow amateur metal detectors to search public properties such as fairgrounds, city parks, and beaches. It may (or may not) be possible for you to keep what you discover. In either case, the ground must be returned to its original condition.
- Some states require hobbyists to register before searching public properties. The laws on public metal detecting vary from state to state, so be sure to consult your local government agency before searching for treasure on public property.
- If you’re to search private property with your metal detector, the owner of the property must first give permission. The owner can add conditions to your use of his/her land, such as ownership rights or time limits.
- If the private property you search can be claimed as protected land under an antiquities law, it’s illegal to remove any items from the site.

Penalties for violating these laws and restrictions can range from a stern warning to thousands of dollars in fines. We urge amateur metal detectors to do some research and obtain all pertinent clearances before starting a search on any private or city-owned property.
