Concrete

[Brignack Killer]

I was at a house next door to mine detecting. I was finding a few coins there and a couple wheat pennys too. I went to search over a walk way that had 2'x2' concrete steps they are 2 1/2" thick. I got a hit on the 3rd one it showed a dime and a penny 8" down. I didn't think the F4 could pick anything under concrete so I pasted it up I was over the the next step and didn't receive any signal at all.

So I thought I better go check out the other step out again. I removed the step and rescanned the area and the F4 still showed the dime & penny 6" down. Sure enough I dig down 6" and I pull out a dime and a penny!

I'm very new at all this. So is that normal for a metal detector to be able to read anything under concrete?

I've detected and dug targets under huge slabs of slate, stone, and under bricks... No reason you shouldnt be able to detect through creat.

Yup,no reason. Unless it's reinforced with re-bar then it'll drive you nuts.
