These get slammed on the Reddit metal detector sub for being sub-par with the better metal detectors. That's fine. It's not a high-end machine. But it's a good beginner's machine. Accurate enough, dependable enough, easy to assemble and start using. You take it out, you find stuff. It takes 2 9 volt batteries, so if 9 volt isn't your thing, look elsewhere. I went ahead and got a 9 volt recharger and some extras.I will say this: my 2 daughters and I have a blast taking this thing out "treasure hunting," along with a pinpointer. They are absolutely thrilled when it beeps and can't wait to do what kids love to do -- dig. The 9 year old gets an orange pin pointer, the 5-year old gets a magnet and a spoon (I know, not conducive to proper metal detecting) and daddy get this thing and both a big shovel and the smaller shove that comes with this set (which is a heavy duty little shovel, btw). Then we all go to town -- team building, disussing what metals are -- steel vs gold/silver, magnetic, etc., Hoping to find "fossils" and "treasure," we treasure by searching and finding whatever we find.Easy assembly, easy to use. Great entry level machine. Will you outgrow it? I hope so. I hope this opens up new possibilities and dreams for anyone who uses it. But it's a good starter within this price range to see if you (or you littles) catch the treasure-hunting bug.

It is a very good piece of equipment. This is the second device, I had a similar one before which I unfortunately destroyed (my fault).
It's almost the same, only this one has a slightly sturdier housing and a stepless LED brightness control.
The resolution is really top notch. As an example, with a bank bill, as it has a lot of small details.
I have the camera to make the job easier. The semi-rigid cable makes the camera easier to guide than cheaper USB cameras with a flexible cable.

Positive points:
- Aukkutausch possible with a little skill.
- Continuous brightness adjustment possible
- Good image quality
- SD card included
- Video recording possible
- dual camera view
- useful settings in the menu
- Rechargeable lithium battery via powerbank

neutral:
- the charging port and SD port could still be protected with a rubber cover, as surely the device is often used in dirty and wet environments.

The cable is 5m long, but I can't imagine I'll need the full 5m, let alone be able to push it that far, especially on various curves I think it will be a bit difficult, anyone who has pulled cables knows what I'm talking about. The case has rubber caps on the sides, so the unit could survive a drop or two.

The case can be easily opened with a small Phillips screwdriver, and the 18650 lithium-ion cell can be easily replaced if the battery breaks at some point, or you can replace the cell with a higher capacity cell.

This camera works wonderfully! First, it comes with everything pictured...even an extra battery!

I am very happy with the camera. The supplied solar panel in particular ensures that the battery life (at least in summer ;)) is really great.

The lithium-ion battery charges fully in just 8 hours, allowing you to quickly get back to capturing your thrilling moments.

no + or - battery markings.

This range finder does everything a $399 brand name can and is just as accurate. It has all the features you would ever need and has a rechargeable, built-in lithium battery that seems to last forever.

I wanted to know weather conditions at my other remote house while away. This station works well. Use lithium batteries if you want readings in the cold winter environment.
