Living close to the beach, I have owned many metal detectors. Most metal detectors in this price range are merely toys, without the advanced features of this one.

The assembly was really easy, taking less than 3 minutes. All the pieces are well made and went together without any tools. The build quality is good, with none of the plastic burrs and tags that you often see on similar products. The pole length is easily adjustable so treasure hunters of various heights are still comfortable using it.
The display is large and easily readable, which is great for a guy like me that wears bifocals. No squinting, just good readable text and numbers. And the display has a backlight for those warm summer evenings where you just want to walk along the beach as the sun goes down.
The search coil is waterproof so you can’t damage it if you ware walking along the shore and a wave hits it.
I like the handgrip as it is well balanced and doesn’t tire out your arm during an afternoon of searching.
I personally tested it with various coins and the display is accurate. This is a great feature when scanning a busy beach.

Comes with a nice carrying bag, a nice set of headphones, and a great collapsible shovel with its own nice case. It comes with batteries, so you don’t need anything else to get started on your personal Treasure Hunt.

It's almost unbelievable what pure and solid quality you get with this adapter for a few euros. The thing is made entirely of metal and really very solid and accurate. Because the adapter is so cheap and practical, I simply bought one for all my old lenses. This saves me having to screw the adapter on and off every time, or it is now the case that my old lenses can be used on my new camera spontaneously and at any time - without much thought.

This metal detector was way for kids to use ! Hours of fun !!! outside or inside searching for objects.

My daughters had so much fun playing with this metal detector. It’s so easy to use and it’s very accurate. We found lots of “treasure” (ok it’s junk metal but that’s alright) in our front yard. Can’t wait to try it out at the park or somewhere busy so maybe can find some real treasure lol.

My 9 year old loves this metal detector. The battery last a long time and is accurate the sensor adjustment work good. I recommend it.

Easy to assemble and comfortable to use for both kids and tall users. Controls are clear and easily set even without reading the manual. Volume, sensitivity, and a surprisingly good discrimation and lockout functionality all easy to dial in properly.

False triggers: I've used OTHER detectors for searching for lost items in my own yards, and they constantly triggered on nothing at all or responded to my fairly iron-rich soil, without being able to find good settings. This SunPow unit had no trouble identifying garbage and staying quiet if set to ignore trash.

Targetted triggering: i tested with MANY sample metal objects of all kinds ranging from gold to titanium to steel to copper and bronze... this detector only jittered slightly from correct identification (eg. copper might lean into bronze, but NEVER so wrong as steel) - EASY to determine whether to bother digging up a "hit."

Unit comes with a useful carry bag and a mini-shovel great for moderate users. Serious users may want a better shovel but having even a moderate one ALREADY with the unit is great.

Overall i'm very pleased with this unit... excellent for kids to moderate effort adults. ALL detectors will require learning how to use them effectively, but this is able to do all I've asked of it.

I would like to say this is not for a professional, it is for a beginner which is what I am. This does work pretty well with finding metal its not always accurate on the types I dug up a lot of trash that it was saying was coins or Jewelry but if you narrow it down to what you want and have a Garrot Carrot or pinpointer to help when you start digging then you shouldnt have too much of an issue. I did replace the plastic bolt that holds the bottom on because it wouldnt keep it locked into the angle I needed once I did that it worked well!

I have been metal detecting for at least 15 years and have thousands invested in my detectors. This is a great beginning detector for a small child to see if he/she will like the hobby. I buried a penny, dime, nickel and quarter in different areas about 4" deep and this detector found them all. It comes with 2 AA batteries and set-up is a breeze. Give this to a kid, take him/her to a school playground where there are swing sets and if your lucky and the swings are on sand, this little thing will find coins and the kid will be so excited you won't believe how happy he/she will be.
