Like several other guys have commented we used the Whites or Bounty Hunter metal detector. The style you see guys on the beach use. Fine tuning adjustment is how small or deep you want to detect. Our scaler in the log yard watched for farmer trees. Barbed wire, nails, fence staples and any metal hanging on a branch will grow in. I even found a mule shoe once, (After the double cut hit it, pulling the saw off the wheel and destroying a $1600 saw). Metal detectors were an investment with big saws !
For years I had industrial clients who used industrial-grade metal detectors for product safety/QA. Those were real industrial tools. You're holding a stud-finder with cosplay-level delusions of usefulness. But you still made a fun video to watch.
i worked at a commercial sawmilling operation in the early 90s, every production facility they had - rough cutting, planing, incising, pressure-treating, even their drying kiln had a metal detector (yes, people used to sneak in and drive brad nails into random boards)...
Lots of fun. Nice gift. At the beginning when it seemed to be beeping randomly, sure looked like it was reacting to the watch. 😊 I think this kind of detector is meant for boards that are already rough cut and ready for planing and sizing. It's the planer and rip blades that it saves. As you found, it's not meant to penetrate a thick cover of wood.
the key is lumber in lumber wizard 5 which has a board with flat surfaces. it has a 4.5 star rating and the base price is around $150. but can it on roundish log. if the device uses magnetic detection it will.not work well with stainless steel anchoring devices. if it uses lazer light it is is looking at visual reflective properties and jade and emerald are girls having fun. now add some time and boss lady beauty and wisdom. what do you get? women of lumber capital log yard. but for now they are girls exchanging sisterly love. but watch out for the dudes of hazard. bo and luke duke going after emerald and jade. they ware the daisy dude demins. the boss lady supports daisy duke wisdom by not wearing demin shorts but full length protective gear. and watch the.boss man as he talked to a family rabbi and no pigs or other unclean thoughts. otherwise the rabbi will oops. the circumcision turned into a Lorena bobbit moment and the nip and snip turns out to be a full castration and cut and toss the pork by products. and the boss has the.moxie and tool to cut meat balls with chain sawz or a yank off with a snatch block or skidder winch cable. be careful with the point on the peavey and the cant hooks of the log and timber rolling business ends of the rolling devices. lumber capital log yard only uses tools of steel and.rubber tires or bulldozer steel track plates. warning warning the boss man has nerves of steel to climb trees with sharp steel spurs. and he free bases climbing sheer rock faces just for the fun of it and because it was there and he said i will do it and win king of the mountain and boss man of the lumber capital log.yard. look at the picture boss lady is showing public displays of affection (pda) and juda the little man is keeping the girls of jade and emerald apart. or is that girls play with a juda sandwiched between them and a little space for coodie bugs. anyways be safe have a good day a good night and better tomorrows.
Emerald: We have a military grade magnetometer from a Army-Navy Surplus. On oak & hickory its good to around 6 " to 8 ", & in dirt & sand 10 " to 12". Catch you on the next one.
We see that you girls are enjoying the beautiful weather . What beautiful smiles to go with the beautiful logs . Sorry about the nails. Saw the damage they caused yesterday. Take care. Stay safe, happy and healthy. PS. The TSA is looking for new agents experienced with metal detectors.
It might work better down in at the log pile where there is not a bunch of other metal around. I metal detect at the beach and parks and use an Equinox 900 and a Garrett carrot for my pin pointer, it has about 6 to 8 inches depth where it will work. If you can figure out a way to get it working, it could save time and money. Thanks for videoing and sharing with us, have a great evening! TTFN
More funny than useful but I enjoyed seeing the fun side of you both. I kept thinking that you had a ring on your left hand and that's what set it off every time you placed it in your palm
It could be that the trace piece of the nail that remained embedded in the board was too small. You could always try placing a nail under a 1" slab and then increasing the thickness of wood over the nail to get a range of how deep under the wood's surface a nail of that size would be detected.
We use a circular one of these successfully here, but we are not dealing with trunks or slabs just hobby board sizes. Great vid and all the best wishes to the team !
We use something similar to find the staples on the painted ends of the wood we use making floor molding. And quick movements and sudden stops can cause them to go off
Emerald, I wonder if that Black Walnut board with the nail in it would get through airport security lol? In all fairness to the manufacturer, it is more of a woodworkers shop tool. The instructional video for the "Lumber Wizard 5 Nail Finder Woodworking Metal Detector" pretty much confirms it's depth limitations. Possibly a more sensitive machine like those used in treasure hunting will offer the blade protection your looking for? It is refreshing to see that you do not sugar coat the experiment with a "sales pitch" bias. Trust is hard to build in a world filled with deception and non-sense. I also hope the fun and the enjoyment that comes with watching LCLY videos never becomes a violation of UA-cam's terms of service. At $3.00 a monthly channel donation is a tremendous value; to me at least as a forest land owner.
I use the same metal detector before running one and 2-in Boards through my planer for 1 and 2 inch board. For 2 inch boards, I checked for metal on both sides. Otherwise it does not go much deeper.
Someone once told me metal detectors don't work on wet logs because metal and water are both conductors. No idea what that means for this application, but she said if you have dried lumber it should work.
"Bleep!" Jade is definitely an iron lady! - and the bleep-logs on your deck are definitely iron wood...now please, test it again at your dog.... it's a really funny video 1+++
You may need to check out a metal detector like the ones used to find lost items in the yard. Also you could scan , Then cut and then scan again That would would slow you down. Worth a try
Afternoon Ladies, the hand wand metal detector doesn't have the power to send a signal deep into wood I had to get a more powerful unit that is used on beaches at best it would reach about 10 to 12 inches in dry sand or dirt if it didn't have a lot of iron content. On logs 1 to 2 inches has been the average and that is on seasoned logs I have metal racks so I have to roll them on the ground to check, most of the problem metal is barb wire and fence staples and long bolts. I have drilled around the suspected area and pulled them out with nail rippers to salvage nice logs. Watching the ends for signs is best and sometimes gotta bite the bullet and risk it. Good luck. Jla
I wouldn't give up on it so easily. Read the instructions until you fully understand how to use it. If it still fails to find a metal object buried in 1 inch of wood, then it's not for your use with saw logs. I'm sure there are detectors that will penetrate a deeper depth. I would then first try to make your's work - maybe call the manufacturer - maybe give them a chance to explain the 'fail'. Second option would be to find one for your use. It may be expensive, but so are saw blades... Good luck. P.S. I once cut a white oak with the bottom log (8ft) at 500 Board Feet. My buddy skidded it out in snow with a Ford 4000 diesel and tire chains. The tractor was only 40hp - the front wheels were off the ground nearly all the way out to the landing.
Actually, Em is the Terminator, this is the reason why the metal detector constantly beeps near her 😄. Some bee is interested in the camera, may be Jade smeared it with honey. Bee has the best detector 😆. Jade, don't allow Em to dominate you, older sisters and brothers always trying to dominate the younger ones. You both have to respect each other. Thanks, girls, for the funny video. Fun may take place next to work. Hi from Belarus.
try a super strong magnet on a rod and sweep for them, like the ones they use while magnet fishing , the detectors are pretty wage in sensing deep like 1 to 5 cm is deep, and nails are a small target to sens.. even for magnets, cable detector maybe, try at home with a fridge magnet and nail and in the stores with nails and distance between them to get a idea, gold hunter detectors are a little better..still.. 5,10,15 centimeters is a mile for thous things 😅 maybe a big elector magnet 🤔
Yep, for boards. Miss a nail or staple or any metal going through a woodworking planner and it’s not good. Maybe there is one for logs? Funny video Em and Jade!
That kind of detector is meant for woodworking and not for mills. A full size detector will work but you have to scan them out on the ground away from the mill. Excellent video ladies thank you.👍♥️♥️
In my experience, very expensive metal detectors are quite good. But 90% of the logs I mill come from the forest where I have high confidence they don't have any metal in them. The other 10% I call "yard trees," trees that usually come from people's front yards. Those have a very high chance of having metal in them. In fact I'd say almost always. The problem with less expensive detectors is their accuracy falls way off deeper than 3". Detectors are only as good as the time you spend "scanning" the log. So you spend 15 minutes hand scanning a log, find a few 8 penny nails, put it on the mill and then cut a 16 penny nail that you missed or was too deep. The manufacturers often make big claims. But I don't see it in real world situations. When I am milling a yard tree log, I spend quality time visually inspecting the log, using an axe (sideways) to open up an area I suspect metal to be (small mounds, bumps, scars, etc.) I suppose if I milled more logs with high risk of metal, I'd look more seriously at getting one.
@@Snarkapotamus Here in the PNW it is not typical to get metal in trees away from developed property. I have milled a few bullets in my day, though. Soft lead however really does not harm the blade and makes for a nice keepsake board. I built a live edge slab bench with a bullet in it. The customer loved it.
@@Graybeard_ - You've got to understand that during bear/deer season in PA, the bullets will be a flyin'! Almost every year on the first day, there are reports of some poor sap minding his own business walking in some small town being felled by an errant bullet. I knew a guy that took fluorescent green spray paint and painted "COW" on the sides of his cattle after he had lost a couple to hunters!
Dear Ms. Em, kindly remember, "When all else fails, read the directions." You can always communicate with the manufacturer or others who use it successfully.
Bumblebees are out I see. Harmless pollinators, clumsy cute. Honey bees are swarming. I usually am not bothered by them. I’ve moved them before. I can’t have hives where it live. Has the Boss ever run into hornets or yellow jackets in a tree trunk while he is logging? Dang, I’ve been swarmed and torn up bad on stings before. 😬😖
I have one of the same model and it works better than what you show in your clip. One thing, when you turn it on, keep it away from all metal until the "ready" beep. It is calibrating during those first few seconds. I had a log with a piece of wire in it, which I found after cutting the wire. I got the detector out, flipped the log over 180 and cut from the other side, about 2 inch slabs and detected the wire before the saw found it. As the cant got thinner, I started finding the log stops, so it was hard to use over on the "stops" side after the thickness was less than about 8 inches.
The metal detector does a GREAT JOB detecting saw blades (as the package shows). The claims say it "Detects nails, screws, wire, bullets and other metal objects inside RECYCLED wood". The instructions say to "ALWAYS use a NEW battery" for best results. As soon as you turn the detector on, the battery is no longer "new".
Virtually all VLF (very low frequency) detectors (which that probably is) react differently to size and metal type. Big iron sounds almost as good as small silver, copper, pewter...
I learnt never to buy a wizard metal detector the only thing that should stop the signal is minirals in the soil. Maybe it has to be ground balanced? check the paperwork, but I think it's just a cheap one. Because you have a UA-cam channel because Garrett may give you a free one for your advertisement of it. Then when you're not you checking wood you can go and find good stuff in the ground. You ladies love the outdoors and it'll give you something to do while you're out there and you're fine nice stuff god bless you and I hope it all works out great
You'd think for $150 bux, it would work for the purpose it was purchased for. It does have a fine tuning adjustment on it. Let's just hope that makes it sense metal through a log, geez.
Well, I suppose you can see if there is a webwsite, or a customer contact list and write the manufacturer a note. Let them know what your needs are and get their opinion, as they do say it detects metal thru wood. Be sure to tell them you are a sawyer and dealing with round logs before they go thru your mill. Bob S - Cleveland
Mark galicic has a saw mill in PA. He also has a channel and they have a metal detector made for logs. Check his channel out to see it. I think they scan all logs going through his mill.
Hiya, Not much use, is it? Try the one Mark Galicic and the Bus Motor use on YT. That works, and what is more, it stands upright, which is much better for sore backs and speed of use. Cheap bubble pack packaging does often indicate cheap items. In this case, a useless one. Stay safe, Steve.
Detecting the metal, mostly nails or wire I would guess, is one thing. Getting to it and digging it out is another matter entirely. I think you said in the last video that the walnut was valuable enough that you would sacrifice blades to mill it up. This can't be a new issue for saw mills. There must be an answer. You might do better with a metal detector like the treasure hunters use. Watch an episode of Curse of Oak Island on the History Channel to watch their guy find relics. Really enjoy your videos.
I think some people might not see too well? Also some old metal might maybe be rusty or dark knotty wood colored? Maybe metal in wood is harder to see if someone has a mill inside a building and it's not as easy to see like it is in bright sunlight? I'm just guessing reasons why this exists if it only detects metal that's already visible? There might be stronger professional level metal detectors with bigger power sources that can penetrate more dense material deeper? ... but I'm guessing. :P
People drive nails when the tree is younger. The tree keeps growing, around the nail, bolt, S hook, whatever. I found a 3/8" lag bolt 3" behind the bark. With my ripping chain. THAT SUCKED.
thanks for making this video it saved me like a 100 bucks and i appreciate the commons sense approach. i had some silly ideas abouth how useful metal detectors would be lol
You young ladies don’t need to know what a gym is. You wouldn’t have time to waste anyway. It would be hilarious to go one time and see y’all kick everyone’s butt including the boyz. 😆💪🤫🤭👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
LCLY, thanks for the smiles. As far as the product, I think it's like I figured out a long time ago about politics and advertising. Tell the biggest lie you think you can get away with. Thanks much!
Blades cost a lot too. So does the time to change them and sharpen them. Metal detectors are worth their weight in gold when the operator knows how to use them.
@@stevinveroba52 so I’m using my metal detector and find out there is a nail in the log. What now? Toss out the log? That’s not an option. Removing the metal takes more time than changing a blade. They have plenty of re-sharps and an expert re-sharpen-er-person. These girls do this every day, they know what their doing and what is most cost effective.
As an engineer we have a saying......if all else fails ....read the manual! There should be a small dial in the unit too adjust sensitivity. And also a symbol showing the target area.....
Love the playful antics. Makes for a funny and entertaining video. Would like to see more of that. I'll bet you are the bigger prankster of the two aren't you Em? DUM SPIRO SPERO.
That device appears to be little more than a toy. Get something like a GPZ7000 metal detector as it is likely the best detector used by gold prospectors. A problem is that it costs quite a few $$$$. Mine has detected a horseshoe 24" deep in the ground, not that the horseshoe was worth the effort to dig it up.
you gotta realize that the hardest thing is coming to terms wit dang... once you've done that you realize that well apart from dang you cant touch this.
Thanks!
Forget metal detecting, lets just go with comedic relief! Totally fun episode.

I use a metal detector from Rural King. Bought it 4 years ago. $34.. works like a charm. Never let's me down.

That unit should have a sensitivity adjustment on it. I have the same one in my woodshop and I can fine tune it to reduce nuisance alarms.
I use a very economical bounty hunter conventional model and it will sound on a small nail 6 inches deep . It was less than $200 .
Dear Ms. Em, kindly remember, "When all else fails, read the directions." You can always communicate with the manufacturer or others who use it successfully.
Good critical review, with demonstrations too.
Trying out things people send you is fun to watch. I'll think of something to send and maybe see it in a video.

Then when you're not you checking wood you can go and find good stuff in the ground. You ladies love the outdoors and it'll give you something to do while you're out there and you're fine nice stuff god bless you and I hope it all works out great
Awesome!!! I was afraid you had gone to the dark side of sponsorship, but this was truly refreshing. Thanks.
You'd think for $150 bux, it would work for the purpose it was purchased for. It does have a fine tuning adjustment on it. Let's just hope that makes it sense metal through a log, geez.
Yeah, I’d sail that right down in the holler when the boss wasn’t looking 😂
Best one ever
Well, I suppose you can see if there is a webwsite, or a customer contact list and write the manufacturer a note. Let them know what your needs are and get their opinion, as they do say it detects metal thru wood. Be sure to tell them you are a sawyer and dealing with round logs before they go thru your mill.

it goes off constantly detecting gold - Emerald and Jade
Mark galicic has a saw mill in PA. He also has a channel and they have a metal detector made for logs. Check his channel out to see it. I think they scan all logs going through his mill.
Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity? I've used one before and it had a small screw that adjusts it. It worked great for me. :)
You 2 are nuts!!! 😂Fun video!❤😂
Well Emerald, after this UA-cam video you can forget that big money endorsement contract for Lumber Wizard.
You guys are a hoot! Love your videos!
Your hilarious ❤Have a great day everyone 📹👍😉
Hiya,
Not much use, is it? Try the one Mark Galicic and the Bus Motor use on YT. That works, and what is more, it stands upright, which is much better for sore backs and speed of use. Cheap bubble pack packaging does often indicate cheap items. In this case, a useless one.
Stay safe, Steve.
Detecting the metal, mostly nails or wire I would guess, is one thing. Getting to it and digging it out is another matter entirely. I think you said in the last video that the walnut was valuable enough that you would sacrifice blades to mill it up. This can't be a new issue for saw mills. There must be an answer. You might do better with a metal detector like the treasure hunters use. Watch an episode of Curse of Oak Island on the History Channel to watch their guy find relics. Really enjoy your videos.
Enjoyed your video keep them coming
😂 great vid had me laughing. Maybe do a log splitting race with an axe. See who can split 5 logs the fastest 💪🤘
I think some people might not see too well? Also some old metal might maybe be rusty or dark knotty wood colored? Maybe metal in wood is harder to see if someone has a mill inside a building and it's not as easy to see like it is in bright sunlight? I'm just guessing reasons why this exists if it only detects metal that's already visible?
There might be stronger professional level metal detectors with bigger power sources that can penetrate more dense material deeper? ... but I'm guessing. :P
That's a pretty neat tool! The noise would drive me crazy lol why in the world would people drive nails deep into trees like that?
People drive nails when the tree is younger. The tree keeps growing, around the nail, bolt, S hook, whatever. I found a 3/8" lag bolt 3" behind the bark. With my ripping chain. THAT SUCKED.
You’ll get use to it…it does work
Because Jade is so Metal!
hello lumber capit it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
thanks for making this video it saved me like a 100 bucks and i appreciate the commons sense approach. i had some silly ideas abouth how useful metal detectors would be lol
I see you have plenty of carpenter bees too.
You young ladies don’t need to know what a gym is. You wouldn’t have time to waste anyway. It would be hilarious to go one time and see y’all kick everyone’s butt including the boyz. 😆💪🤫🤭👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
LCLY, thanks for the smiles. As far as the product, I think it's like I figured out a long time ago about politics and advertising. Tell the biggest lie you think you can get away with. Thanks much!
Right on
Oh thank god. You had me going for a minute. I thought you were serious about using that detector. Time is money, nobody has time for that.
Blades cost a lot too. So does the time to change them and sharpen them. Metal detectors are worth their weight in gold when the operator knows how to use them.
@@stevinveroba52 so I’m using my metal detector and find out there is a nail in the log. What now? Toss out the log? That’s not an option. Removing the metal takes more time than changing a blade. They have plenty of re-sharps and an expert re-sharpen-er-person. These girls do this every day, they know what their doing and what is most cost effective.
I've really missed the endings where you and Jade muck around.
Give Aquachigger a call (he lives below you a couple of hours) and see if he can give you some pointers (pun intended) on what would work best...
Awesome
As an engineer we have a saying......if all else fails ....read the manual!
There should be a small dial in the unit too adjust sensitivity. And also a symbol showing the target area.....
No dial
It was interesting😊
Love the playful antics. Makes for a funny and entertaining video. Would like to see more of that. I'll bet you are the bigger prankster of the two aren't you Em? DUM SPIRO SPERO.
Scan on every cut!
That device appears to be little more than a toy. Get something like a GPZ7000 metal detector as it is likely the best detector used by gold prospectors. A problem is that it costs quite a few $$$$. Mine has detected a horseshoe 24" deep in the ground, not that the horseshoe was worth the effort to dig it up.
I hope more companies send you products to test out. Lol
Lumber Capital rings as the metal detectors sings. Turning into Jedi knights with their light sabres.
Will that thing go off if it is passed over an Iron Maiden album?
you gotta realize that the hardest thing is coming to terms wit dang... once you've done that you realize that well apart from dang you cant touch this.
Beautiful ladies have a wonderful day i'll stick to finding railroad spikes with new chain saw blades
Good evening hello how you doing your best shows the equipment 💪🏾❤
