[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 640185, member: 4012"] Metal detectors don't react to target mass, it's surface area that counts for the eddy currents they create in a metal target. A vertical pipe only has a very small surface area at the top, the remainder goes increasingly deeper and may not present much of a target. A big coil would help greatly in this respect. [/QUOTE]
