This is too cute and so easy to use! I have a 4 yr old daughter and she was able to use it no problem, especially because it extends depending on height. She has always loved looking for items and bringing them to me as treasures so I thought that this metal detector would be a great toy for her and I was right, she loves it. She was able to find some items in our backyard. We also took it to the beach this weekend and she followed along with a couple that had a real $300 metal detector. She was able too keep up with finding things at the most about 3-4 inches in dept in sand and clay-like compact dirt. She made some friends with a common interest that day, lol! It's easy to set up and start immediately since it came with a 9V battery. Also comes with a shovel and a rake for her to dig out the treasure she find. The beep is loud enough to hear with beach waves. Overall it's a great starter metal detector before you splurge on the real deal for kids to handle.

My seven year old granddaughter loves her metal detector and has had hours of fun.

Great metal detector!

So when I told my wife I wanted to get a metal detector she looked at me crazy. This is something I had always wanted to take to the beach and try out but I hadn't pulled the trigger until now. It's a blast! It was super easy to set up I didn't even need tools (or the instructions). The shovel comes in handy so I'm not scraping my hands against the sand to find my "Treasures" haha. It's straightforward to use. Definitely recommend.

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.

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 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.)

Great bang for the buck! Got it on 11/5. used at Cannon Beach and the results have been excellent.
