Question 1

Can it detect me lost 1 inch mp3 player in clothing cabinet?

Accepted Answer

This device worked a miracle for me: found a watch in17’ of water - BUT - it only signals within 4-6” of lost object. It’s great claim to fame is that it’s immersible.

Question 2

Anybody test the rm ricomax vs dr otek

Accepted Answer

I use both.
To me the Rico is a little more sensitive.
The rico has row of indicator lights as opposed the a single multicolor on the ortek.
I like the rico lights better.
The only advantage of the otek, is that is waterproof to 10M.
The Rico is waterproof to maybe 4 inches.
Rico is not good on beaches.
When I got mine ,took it to the beach and it got splashed.
Killed it.
A good thing I can say about the Rico.
When I got home after splashing, I removed the battery  and left it open overnight.
Lo and behold, next day I installed the battery and it worked.
It's a pretty tough pinpointer.
I have to retune it more often than the Otek.

If I'm hunting dry ground the Rico is my choice.
Beach hunting Otek is the one.

All in all, the Rico is more sensitive.

Question 3

will it detect sprinkler heads?

Accepted Answer

If the sprinkler heads are constructed with metal then yes. The sprinkler heads I have installed are plastic to operate better and last longer. If that is what you have then no it will not detect them.

Question 4

Could this locate bird shot in geese and duks?

Accepted Answer

No, it cannot!  After reading this post I purchased the Dr. Otek over other options, thinking I finally found a solution to finding bird shot in carcasses.  As soon as it arrived, I put it to the test, using both lead (#7) and steel (#3) shot placed about 1/2" deep in some left-over chicken. I immediately got a reading and thought I found the answer to my prayers - but I was wrong. The detector is very sensitive and will pick up electrical wires beneath the surface or nails in the tops of table legs, but it did not pick up my bird shot. When placed in the open, the detector registered the #3 steel shot when it was within 1 cm. The only time it registered the lead shot was when it was touching it. I know it was a lot to ask but I was optimistic after reading this post. Now you know and I'll be returning the unit.
