[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 547176, member: 4012"] A GPX4500 or 5000 with a very large coil (20 inch or more), should find the rifle, but a GPZ7000 with its standard 14" coil would have a very good chance too and might be easier to hire and use. There are some specialised, dual coil, pipe/buried treasure detecting machines available (very scarce in Australia), but either of the Minelabs will prove more useful in the typically mineralised red soil mentioned. Key to success would be operating very slowly and thoroughly, as coverage and signal strength diminish with depth, but a large, steel target with smooth surfaces should be very findable, especially if it's buried flat rather than on end. If it was lowered down a very deep post hole, the target presented to the detector will be much smaller. [/QUOTE]
