thanks jraef, i did mean concrete your right. And the olson instruments concrete thickness guage would be awesome for my applcation and i would get it, but they told me about 3 months ago, as i was begining this search for a solution, that it will not likely get an accurate reading through most...

thanks operahouse, im lookin into it.

wrsharper, your right that absolutely works with the hammer. we do that in garages sometimes to find the thicker cement beam. I just wish i had some device that would detect it without damaging the flooring inside the house. would a sonar type scanner work? like used to image inside a womans...
