What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about power and batteries: it calls the unit hand-powered, says one included lithium-ion battery is required, labels its cell type Zinc, and separately describes a 9V battery in the package. The five-mode depth text also mixes units and gives no clarified conversion. Confirm the selected listing and battery type before use. Follow the stated calibration procedure and treat detection indications as guidance rather than proof of what is behind a wall.
