Can handheld treasure type metal detectors find underground copper water pipes?
Q. Hi Answers crew. I want to know if the handheld type of metal detectors used to find coins, jewelry, and watches can effectively find a 3/4 inch copper water line buried in my front yard suppling water approximately 18 inches below some fairly rocky soil. If I can locate the pipe I can avoid spending $325 for a leak locater service. If this is possible can these be rented? Thanks in advance.

A. YES.They can help you locate underground Copper lines. I have both a White's Electronics's and a Garrett Metal Detector and both can be adjusted easily to find underground copper lines. They can easily detect lines up to 20" deep,even in rocky soil as long as there are no high mineral deposits in the area to be scanned. I would think a leak would be pretty easy to find once you find an area that the soil is wet along the copper line I really don't have a clue where you could rent one. You might check in your area for Metal detecting clubs and see if you could get a member to come to your home and help you out. It would be a whole lot Cheaper to give a guy $20 to help you from a local club than spend $325 for a leak location service...

Do you need special papers to go thru airport metal detectors if you have metal in your body?
Q. I recently had spinal fusion surgery, and I have titanium rods and screws as well as a batery pack implanted in my back---never to be removed. When going thru an airport, I will surely set off the metal detector. Will I always have to give explanation of my hardware, or is there some kind of paper the doctor gives you? Whats the deal? Where does one get these "implant" cards? Is this something that the doctor gives out, or is it an airport thing???

A. Yeah. You should get some kind of letter or a card which indicate about your situation. I would also recommend you talk to an airline agent at the counter and TSA agent before you form a line. Give yourself plenty of time since they may make you go through detailed screening.
