Product Description
The Woodworkers Metal Detector detects foreign objects up to 1 1/2" deep. It flashes a red light and gives an audible warning if it moves over any metal object. This powerful tool will detect metal objects under soil, wood, concrete, plastic and cloth. Also use for locating metal studs or nails in the wood studs inside of walls. 9 volt battery not included.
Amazon.com Review
If you're tired of damaging saw blades or drill bits on hidden nails, screws, and staples in walls, concrete slabs (rebar), or recycled wood, you'll want to add a Little Wizard metal detector to your toolbox. Similar to a stud locator (but more powerful and calibrated to locate metal), the Little Wizard can pinpoint the exact location of metal buried up to 2 inches deep. It's easy to use, weighs very little (just 5.7 ounces), and is small enough to fit in even the tightest spaces. --Carl Thress

 Not great for meat..... January 16, 2008
I purchased this item from a main sportsmen store to check for steel/shot in wild game. It does find metal but only 1/4" deep. Any deeper and it won't find steel shot. This leaves a lot of meat unchecked unless you slice 1/4" pieces.
It probably has to due to the size of metal or maybe the density of meat. Seems to work for other people working w/ wood seaching for larger pieces of metal.
 good detector November 15, 2007
I got this because I saw it used to find bird shot before you cook your bird so that you do not bite into lead.
one review I read said that it was not sensitive at all, and now that I have one I figured out what they were doing wrong.
you have to set the "fine tuning" with a screw driver as the instructions say to do, if you do that it can detect a very small metal object from 2 inches away.
great detector, low priced, and reasonably easy to use.
if you have one, then you can tell if your christmas presents have metal in them.
A good value November 9, 2007
I've been very pleased with the performance of this item. After taking apart an old deck, I wanted to re-use the lumber. I knew I'd have to use some kind of metal locator, or risk the blades on my saw, planer, etc. I didn't really want to spend a hundred dollars on a metal detector, so I was glad to see this modestly priced version. It does a great job of locating nails and nail fragments in 2X6 lumber. It penetrates well. I had to lift boards up when I scanned past the metal sawhorses I had placed the wood on. There are two minor flaws to the product worth mentioning. First, the head on the detector is only about three inches wide. So you have to make a fair number of passes if you're scanning wide boards. Secondly, the sensitivity control (a dial switch) is on the side of the wand, and it's easy to mistakenly re-adjust it while engaged in normal use. That could be a real problem if you inadvertently turned the sensitivity too low and missed some embedded metal. Still, the product works well, and is much less expensive than similar products. Finally, the delivery was very quick. I ordered the product and requested normal shipping. Two days later it was at my doorstep.
Use it as a stud finder! May 7, 2007
Regular stud finders don't work so well with lath and plaster walls. This thing will locate the studs by signalling all the little nails that attach the lath strips to the studs! Also use it to find hidden nails in recyling trim.
good tool January 4, 2007
This tool is not fool proof, but it does what it is supposed to do, which is beep when metal is nearby. I can find no purpose for the line of red lights. The only thing they seem to do is tell you that the buzzer has stopped buzzing when you are adjusting the sensitivity level. So a hearing impaired person could adjust the buzzer, but not use the tool, since the lights do not come on when metal is detected. But this is just one of those "what the hell did they do that for" questions. The unit detects metal even when it's 2" deep in hard wood, so it's great.
