I know that if you bury the object extremely deep in sand, debris, etc., that the metal detector may fail to pick it up, but is there a material that actually blocks or diverts the electromagnetic waves of the metal object?
I’m in 9th grade, and I’m just trying to get advice/help on my Science project. No, I’m not a terrorist, and no, I’m not trying to get past airport security, so if anyone knows anything about this, please help me out.

I want one for christmas. Iv never done this before. I dont want a realy cheap but one that is affordable. What store could i get them at and what would be the price? I would be using it in like woodland and on woodland trails and sand and beaches.

also, ever found anything in the sand,and what things have you found and do you enjoy finding things or not?
why or why not?

I have a “usual list” of things that I find, mostly!
I.D. cards,rubber balls, marbles, or glass that you put into plant holders,guitar picks, jewlery, money..(I have a joke about finding my “11 cents” a dime and a penny!) LOL!,also,dog toys and kids toys,clothing,knives,(I found a small Victorinox red swiss army knife,” the basic” one,(in the sand!)
also, pens,pencils,tools, shovels and sand toys, and odd things like cups and glasses, etcoh,and peoples photos, and bank cards(which I always return, along with the I.D. cards also..usually!, and if it is a lot of money, or expensive(like the diamond ring I found,I turn that in too!)..and whatever..I forget..but, that is what I usually find! What about you?

I love finding things everywhere!I don’t even use a metal detector..I just see them and find them!!LOL!
