This metal detector is great. First time using and very first sweep and I found my first coin

My five year old got this for Christmas. I hid quarters and some other objects for us to find. The detector did not detect the quarters, but it did find many other things. Lots of things were too deep for us to find. I did not expect the detector to detect things so deep. This product is a lot of fun. We can't wait to take it to the beach. However, it is NOT waterproof. Be careful.

Great metal detector!

Excellent entry level Metal Detector, it works well and even detects small fragments of metal, very light and convenient to carry.

In my case, the two 9-volt batteries were not included.

I've always wanted to have a metal detector and I decided to buy it to use it on these first summer weekends camping and at the beach. It is a fun object, equipped with a stem with an adjustable length between 78 and 107 cm suitable for use by adults or children over 10 years old. It has a search capacity up to 20 cm deep and is waterproof with the possibility of use in shallow water. For example, I use it on the seashore considering that the control box, unlike the coil, is not waterproof. Using it, you must take precautions such as positioning the search coil 1-5 cm away from the ground and keep in mind that greater sensitivity corresponds to a lower capacity discriminatory of metals. By resetting DISC, you can restart a search following any errors and inappropriate acoustic sound emissions. In this regard, it seems right to also report the presence of a headphone jack to avoid disturbing with the sounds emitted by the object. Also included in the packaging are 2 9V batteries. Happy shopping!

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

So I'm new to detecting and I didnt have the money to spend on a higher end detector yet. So as a starter I decided to buy this one. It was pretty easy to set up. It's super light weight. I like how it has a lot of features that some of the higher end models have. I also like how it's water proof. It does feel a little bit flimsy and cheap but It works well enough considering the price. I've used it the past couple days. I did notice sometimes it doesnt always pick up a target on the first swing while open air testing. Kind of concerning as the point of a metal detector is to find metal objects that you dont know are there. Although there is a bunch of settings for sensitivity and discrimination to play with, so I cant exactly blame the machine yet. I will say, it doesnt do it all the time and I have found tons of stuff while detecting in my yard. Sometimes you'll get a little beep and have to keep swinging in the general area to try and find it again and the numbers will jump all over the place. These are usually junk items such as pull tabs, bits of metal flashing, iron, etc. But ricomax does say in the instructions that this will sometimes happen with junk targets. Every coin or decent thing I've found does seem to have a consistent beep and number. Also the accuracy of the number for the target seems to be pretty spot on. So I think it's just a matter of learning how the machine works and getting used to the different tones and how the machine acts to certain targets... Same as most machines I'm guessing. The depth of which it can find a target seems pretty decent. So far I think the deepest thing I've found was about 8". Not too bad. Overall I think this is a good starter machine with good features, good depth, and decent accuracy, and for the price you really can't ask for more. I would definitely reccomend this to someone who wants to get started detecting and doesnt have a bunch of money to spend on a higher end unit. It will absolutely get you out swinging, finding things, and having fun in the process.

Great metal detector for beginners and very simple to use and clear instructions
