I got this for my 6 year old Granddaughter for Christmas. She is a "treasure hunter". She found some coins and a broken earring in the park the first day. During her digging, her Mom found an arrow head in the garden, but I don't think they found that with the detector. Wish I could tell you more, but I don't know. She likes it.

Stainless Steel,I can just pick some up with a strong magnet which from my experience would mean not a top grade stainless

When you get the machine to work at all it will "help" locate metal objects including gold. I was not able to get mine to work regularly. When it did work I was able to locate metals without distinction. In other words I could not get mine to only hit on gold. It would either hit on metal or nothing. I would suggest looking into a better machine if you want to locate only gold/silver. If you are looking for a toy for amusement only then this item will probably work well for you.

Yes it can as I tried it when I first got it- I took pickers and some flour gold and mixed in with concentrate I had gathered from the stream. It does have to touch or be probably 1/32 to 1/8 " of the gold. I guess it was worth buying, BUT I always wonder what or how much better the white or some other brand works at the 100.00 to 250.00 range work in comparison???

A good test if a metal is ss is to use a magnet. I checked the tray with a magnet and it was not magnetic. I would say it is ss. Ss can pickup carbon from other metals and rust. There is a product to remove the rust if it happens. It is a good grinder, a size 10 would be a little better.

Not sure, have just used it on copper. Would be afraid it might hurt silver.

It has a plastic coating over the magnet which will also pickup naturally occurring iron particles. Keep a clean cloth handy.

Yes. It will find them and most everything else that is metal. Most pins are not buried deep (unless the earth has often been grated.)

To detect gold, you'll need to increase your range of frequencies, which may lead to alot of dug up scrap, but a loud solid tone should usually accompany a ring and such.

It would depend o the scratches and type of metal. I can tell you that it will remove a gold plating of any strength and restore the object toit's original finish.But don't know about the scratches.

No. The detector will pick up nails and any metal in the floor. You might want to look into the Garrett pro pointer. Good luck

Works great on metal but don't know if plastic will remain solid enough for the Irwin tool to grab hold. Don't have experience with that.

My guess is it will if not in direct sunlight. The metal will absorb the heat from the sun.

This detector will work through anything. The unit picks up elector-magnetic field that all metals give off and these EMF penetrates everything.

It can pick up just about anything, Has alot of power for such a lite weight vacuum. So the answer to your quest YES it can.
