Hello,
I wonder if a Garret ACE 250 would be enough to detect air conditioner pipes (copper) embedded in a wall without isolation.  The wall is about 15 cm (6 inches) thick.
I have problems with a bad neighbor (vibrations and leaks in my home), and the only solution I see is to detect the pipes, make a hole in the wall and cut the pipes.

Regards

Are you SURE that is the only solution?   Have you exhausted the legal options, including civil suits, open to you?   If not, doing what you are proposing could open YOU up to a lot of legal repercussions.    But from a purely technical standpoint, for most walls it would probably be sufficient.   It depends upon what type of material the wall is made out of.

Yes I think is the last solution. During the last 12 months I have made a lot of complaints to the county hall, to the local police, to the court without result. Also the bad neighbor is a corrupt local police under house arrest.

Also the wall is a party wall (separate my house from the neighbor). And in the part that I want to cut the pipe, the wall is totally mine.
We believe that the neighbor has hidden in that wall the air conditioner tubes.

The wall is about 5 meters (16 feet) height, so I need to know if the ACE 250 can have enough length to work in that situation.

Regards

Apparently the wall is NOT YOURs if it contains pipes servicing his side of the house.  It sounds like Common Ground and your going to have to deal with it as that.

Hell, Buy Law it may be your problem.

It may save your sanity if you get a professional plumber and pay him to find the leak and plug the pipes.

No it will not work at five meter. Not the Ace or any other detector
Use the detector to have some fun at the local park after the plumber fix the wall and forget about it.

The Ace 250 will handle the thickness, but it is only about 1.3 meters long, so you are going to need a long ladder or some scaffolding.   Personally I'd go the plumber route.

Yes, I will pay a plumber once I know for sure where are the tubes.

Perhaps I could change the rod of the ace 250 for a PVC pipe of 2.5 meters. Anyone has done this ?

It may work. try it and let us know.
I know that this may surprise you, but plumbers are trained to find leaking pipes inside walls and most of them have special equipment to do that.
Take out the emotions and fix the problem logically.
You can pay back your neighbor later on if that is what you want

  I reread this post and it seems you are going to cut your neighbors pipes?

Lets see?   Water pipes are Copper here in the US.  AC pipes are the same.  It sounds like they have Common  a Wall and he wants to start cutting things.  This is not how Us Treasure Hunters do things. I don't see how this thread is doing any good to Treasure Hunters or even right in any fashion!.
