### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work well for scanning wood for nails
*by J***B on March 31, 2020*

I am using it to scan wood before I run it through my planer. For me, it is picking up even small nails. The finish of the product is a bit flimsy and cheap plastic, but it is working well for what i am using it. This is a good handheld metal detector for the price.
