Adult professional metal detector, professional treasure hunting gold detector, IP68 waterproof 10 inch detection plate, high-precision

10 year old boy loves this, he assembled it himself. We have another similar one the 10 year old girl owns, now that he has one, he is very happy. Adjustable to the length needed from arm reach to ground, so nothing too long or short, pole adjusts. It is not overly heavy, has a little weight, but not enough to strain out a child. This one didn't have the added wrist stabilization weight feature, that would rest on arm to balance out, just a straight out handle pole from the reader. It has a little rope you can hang up after use.

We tested this out during a backyard renovation. It found pipes, staples, nails and decades old lost items. Missing hair clips, some old beading wire, a paperclip, parts of metal objects we don't recognize and some metallic stones.

So far, it accurately predicts how far down an object is and what it might be.

It hasn't died, but we only used it for an hour or so each day.

I paired it with a magnetic pole to pick up anything near the surface. I don't know why one isn't included with the detector. It seems like a logical combination.

Bottom line: Would I order again? I might. Would I gift it? Yes. It's a fun distraction and helpful during remodeling. I hate losing nails and staples.

You won’t be using it on Oak Island, but it’s a lot of fun to take out on a hike or family trip to the beach! I’m 5’5”, and feel that I can use this easily. Registers metals as different ones on the screen, which is really exciting! Coil is sensitive and quick to react the closer something is to it, which I only mention because I’m not sure how accurate the depth measure is. It’s not super easy to understand. So, as a rule of thumb, the louder the sound, the closer the metal is. On the downside, it’s difficult to collapse into the very basic carrying case. Really glad to have it!

Picked this up so my 6yr. old son could join me when I go metal detecting on the beach. This metal detector fit the bill prefect. He loved it right out of the box. It's nice and light weight for him and was adjusted to the perfect height for him. The pictures on the screen are perfect for him to he gets very excited when he sees that the money target starts beeping. First outing to the beach he found over $1.00 in change and was super excited. The included backpack is great to hold everything. For an inexpensive kids metal detector this is a great buy for anyone looking to have some fun searching for treasures.

I have been thinking I needed to try out a metal detector on my property. I recently found out that my property has a lot of history associated with it. Maps indicate it was at part of an Native American village and in the civil war a battle line was nearby. then later in the roaring twenties it was either the first or last hole of a country club golf course. So my yard has a lot of potential for some interesting finds and look forward to some discoveries.
The handle has indicators that tell you if it might be a nail type metal, jewelry or coin find.
I am 5'4 and with the handles installed at the longest length option it works for me. Have not had the chance to test the accuracy other than going around the yard and getting hits. i did put it near some screws on the deck and it showed it was a nail type metal.

This metal detector for kids is better than I expected it was going to be. It works great, detects the different metals with high accuracy. I like that you can set it to alert on certain types of metals only or for any of the 3 types. It is very easy to assemble and then you are ready for a treasure hunting adventure!

We have had a blast with this metal detector. My daughter loves looking at our local beach for "treasure". She did find several coins, a couple bottle caps and someones keys. It gave us some fun downtime while we were drying off after a long day of swimming. Definitely worth it just for the smiles. Seems to be very accurate as there was always something there every time it showed there to be.

This metal detector is marketed for kids but I can say it is better than expected. The unit, although being very lightweight and looking kid like, does a real quality job. First off this is very easy to assemble right out of the box. The directions are clear and easy to follow for assembly and for use of the detector.

It works great by detecting the different metal groups with high accuracy and even shows the depth. I like that you can set it to alert on certain types of metals for any of the 3 types. This eliminates false readings or readings for items you're not looking for. Would buy again!

This metal detector is impressive. I'd expected something that might look or work like a toy.

Instead, when this arrived, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It's a nearly full-sized metal detector, but also lightweight and adjustable. It's a good size for a tall 6-year-old, but equally good for an older child or even a teen. (Frankly, fully extended, my 5'8" husband is comfortable using it. He eagerly tested it as soon as it arrived.)

The metal detector has some nice, colorful accents, but it doesn't shout "toy" when you look at it. Nobody will raise an eyebrow if you're an adult and using this at the beach or along a hiking trail. It's an actual, working device, and it looks professional.

It also comes with a great instruction booklet, explaining what the different noises tell you about the kind of metal the device detected, and/or how deeply it's buried.

And speaking of noises, the sounds aren't blaring or obnoxious. They're just right for the purpose.

All in all, this is a great metal detector for a beginner of almost any age. Most importantly, if you're an adult considering this for your own use: The styling is "modern" as opposed to looking like a mere toy.

The digital readout screen is very helpful, too, and easy for beginners to understand.

This metal detector actually works, even detecting metal inside the (thick) plaster walls of our home, and under the floor. It'll work in your garden or at the beach or along trails. The detector's sensitivity seems just right.

The accessories are great, too. The backpack is a comfortable size and holds the detector without having to fully disassemble it. (We left ours partially assembled, and the round wheel sticks out of the backpack. For us, that's fine.)

The digging tools are strong, full-sized, and seem durable. (Until I saw these, it never crossed my mind that normal, metal garden tools weren't a good idea with a metal detector! lol )

Whether for an adult beginner or for a child eager to be a "treasure hunter," this is a good start for explorations at home and on outdoor adventures. (We'll be at the beach this weekend, with ours.)

This metal detector is definitely fun for kids. Just ensure you read the manual to understand how it works and how to properly read the display.
