Several bricks lined up on a brick floor. 1/2" PVC pipe filled with water laying between two bricks. One sheet of 1/2" drywall over them.<br /><br />The picture is in PAN mode, the red area is the pipe.<br /><br />It the auto image mode it isn't sure if it's a pipe or a stud, but as I know it's a brick wall that tells me there is SOMETHING there that isn't metal.<br /><br />In the pan mode I haven't gotten the location of the pipe in inches right. It has the overall pan length right at 20", but the pipe was actually centered. Still gets you close to where it is and the other modes are more "live".<br /><br />Overall, I'd say this DOES find things chased into brick walls. Takes a little fiddling with, but in the end it works a whole lot better than drilling holes until you hit water, then backing up. It will probably work better after I use it more, things like speed of movement.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Jerry Durand, Durand Interstellar, Inc.<br />www.DurandInterstellar.com<br />tel: +1 408 356-3886<br />@DurandInterstel<br /><br /></div></body></html>
