Yes the newest modern metal detectors have controls that will allow you to pick the type of metal you want to detect. And also how deep you want it to check for that metal. You can set them for iron, gold, silver, copper or lead. You can even tell them what metals to ignore such as aluminum. They are very sophisticated now.

YES.They can help you locate underground Copper lines. I have both a White’s Electronics’s and a Garrett Metal Detector and both can be adjusted easily to find underground copper lines. They can easily detect lines up to 20″ deep,even in rocky soil as long as there are no high mineral deposits in the area to be scanned. I would think a leak would be pretty easy to find once you find an area that the soil is wet along the copper line
I really don’t have a clue where you could rent one. You might check in your area for Metal detecting clubs and see if you could get a member to come to your home and help you out. It would be a whole lot Cheaper to give a guy $20 to help you from a local club than spend $325 for a leak location service…
