Cute gadget for kids who are interested in metal detector. Does not actually find metal but is a cute toy for learning and activities .

My husband and step daughter love using our metal detector to find “hidden treasures”, however, have nearly driven themselves crazy trying pinpoint what is setting off the detector. This has already become an essential tool in their “treasure hunts”. It is compact and easy to use. It even comes with a holster so it can be readily available for use. I highly recommend purchasing this in conjunction with a traditional metal detector, or even by alone.

I have never owned a good metal detector and for this one to be my first, I was very impressed. I bought it mainly to find my property line stakes. When I finally located it, I used the pin point mode, and when I moved a small amount of dirt in that spot, there was my stake. I have also experimented with finding my wedding ring and coins in the grass and it worked flawlessly. Have not got into any serious treasure hunting yet.

The metal detector is great! It is sensitive enough to find even the smallest pieces of metal. I have already found multiple coins to add to my coin collection. It can be dissembled to fit into the storage bag (included) that can be hand carried or placed in a suitcase for travel. I haven't used it at the beach but like the fact that it can be used in saltwater! I highly recommend the metal detector.

I picked this item up for my wife. She has been in love with metal detecting and coins since a young age but was never able to get a detector. This holiday season I decided to change that! She had already done all the research and spent many hours watching videos and reviews. Ultimately this brand and model was the one she wanted most. Luckily it was on a Black Friday sale this year so I snatched it up.

Item arrived exactly as described. My wife using a metal detector for the first time, was able to find a small pile of stuff in our backyard within a couple hours. Seriously a small pile! She found a buried chain, penny, nickel, small piece of wire, some kind of hook, a larger piece of wire, and a screwdriver bit I lost years back. She was absolutely excited about the whole situation.

I’d highly recommend this to any beginner. Just read the instructions and follow them, if you do this like my wife did, you won’t have any problems and will find stuff.

I ordered this kids metal detector with the hopes of using it to find hidden treasure, and so far, I have yet to find any treasure. But that's not the fault of this little metal detector; I don't have any buried treasure on my half-acre. I have found lots and lots of rusty hardware, badly damaged tools, and a few dog tags (like for dogs, not soldiers), and it alerted me to a few things that were deeper than I wanted to dig. Perhaps there is treasure, but my grandson and I don't want to dig too deep. We placed my gold ring in the grass, and it detected it (thankfully). The detector was easy to assemble, the instructions were clear, and in no time at all, we started searching for that treasure. It is light enough not to get tired of holding it and easy to maneuver. The screen brightness is adjustable and readable even in daylight. The shaft length has 6-inches of adjustment to accommodate people of varying heights. Supposedly you can put the coil in shallow water. However, I did not have any puddles to test that claim. We'll assume that it can go in shallow water, and if and when I test that and if it breaks, I will update this review.

Here's what I like:
*3 detection modes and alert tones
*Display backlighting is adjustable
*Display has pictures to aid younger kids in reading it
*Can alert to Ferrous, nonferrous, and precious metals ( we haven't found any of that...yet)
*It has an adjustable length
*IP68-rated waterproof coil
*Perfect for children (and grandpa)
*Backpack and dig tools included

Here's what I didn't care for:
*The "disc button" didn't seem to ignore as the manual says. Perhaps we should have used it differently.
*The first impression was, "this is a toy. How am I going to find treasure?"
*Seems somewhat delicate. Time will tell.

In conclusion, I am impressed by this little metal detector. I was skeptical about how it would work, and even though we found no treasure, we had a blast using it. And, after all, that is what's most important. On second thought, perhaps the treasure is the detector itself...I bet my grandson thinks so!

This metal detector is an excellent find. I purchased it for my son who wanted one to start finding
treasure. It is so user friendly right out of the box, point and find your treasure with a beep. I highly
recommend this product, for a child or even an adult just starting out a hobby.

About this metal detector for my nephew for Christmas was surprised how quickly it got here and how light it was. I could have carried it around all day and not got tired. I set up some things in the yard for him to find and he found them quickly and easily we had a really good time and a lot of fun I can’t wait to see the things what we will find. I would recommend this to anybody else wanting to get started I think for the price it was well worth it yeah my nephew couldn’t have been more happy it was the number one thing on his Christmas list And it was really nice that it came with a case and headphones and a shovel and I’m sure he will enjoy it for a long time to come.
