I use a fair amount of reclaimed lumber, so it is important to find all the nails, screws, staples, etc. before I run the wood through my power tools.
I currently have a Lumber Wizard 3. It works but often seems finicky, so I'm never real confident it has found the metal in the wood. For starters, it has a large 12" wand, but it seems only the 3" or so at the tip really does anything. I also have to adjust the fine sensitivity a lot, a hassle that requires a small screwdriver. On several occasions the thing just sits there blinking the lights back and forth and no amount of adjustment has any effect. I almost threw it away last time I used it because I thought it was finally broken.
Are there better metal detectors available that are more accurate and easier to adjust when needed?
Thanks,
