Do those detect non-magnetic metals? I'll admit I don't know much about those.

"3. What types of things will a metal detector help me find?

All metallic objects. Example: gold, silver, iron, nickel, copper, brass, aluminum, tin, lead, bronze. Metal detectors will not detect nonmetal items such as gemstones, diamonds, pearls, bone, paper, or stone figures."

Paul, looks like they will detect brass, and can discriminate between different kinds of metals.

That's OK, I prefer brunettes.

On range cleanup we would just use brass magnets and sweep the firing mounds.

Oh, the wonders they're passing out these days...

I've spent many an afternoon dreaming about a brass magnet (usually while walking back and forth looking for that 10% or so that never gets picked up).

Though in the police academy we had a push-roller deal that picked up brass on the indoor range really well.

Do you mean those girls who like men in uniform, but only if they are senior officers?

Its true. I've used metal detectors for gold prospecting and different metals cause a different tone from some detectors. With experience you will have some idea what sort of metal you've found and the quantity/depth from the surface.
