I don't like using 9V/12V batteries, and this Kentfaith metal detector has built-in battery and it uses your phone. The package is amazing, gives a professional and high-end feel. Easy to use, I got some old coins in my backyard on the first test.

It's simple and easy to use and great that's it's rechargeable with built-in battery

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

Great metal detector!

I've always been fascinated by metal detectors and finding things hidden just below the surface. Vine showed me one, and yes please!

It's light, easy to pop the (included!) battery into, and a single push button to start it. No fancy settings, no learning curve, just battery, power, and go. I headed to the back yard, which is primarily sand thus easy to dig, to see what I could find.

Protip: Do not wear steel toed shoes for this activity, unless you'd like to find your own feet, again and again and again. Shoe change, and away we go.

Move the wand slowly over the ground to let it register. It will vibrate, make noise, and light up when it senses something, more of all three the closer or larger the object is. (For fun, I "found" a vehicle. Sounded like I hit the jackpot.)

My first score appears to be a child's porcelain coated iron toy pot lid that appears to have been buried for a while. It was about a foot down. As I dug, I kept checking the dirt I removed from the hole in case it was a smaller item hidden in a clump. Getting closer to my prize, it lit up all three lights and buzzed faster.

The next two finds are well-used, rusted out nails. They were closer to the surface, and the detector lit up easily to locate them. If I continue at this rate, I'll slowly build up enough scrap metal to upgrade my metal detector.

The kit includes a waterproof flashlight, which takes 3 AAA batteries, not included. It's a simple turn on and off at the base, and decently bright. There's also a storage bag for everything - the velvetish bag seems a poor choice for something used in water as it may not dry as well as a mesh bag would. There's a lanyard for the metal detector as well, but I did not use it.

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.

This is our first metal detector & it is SO much FUN!

We keep finding metal objects in our yard, that were left behind by the previous owners, & I have stepped on a few of them. They seem to be in a general area where we believe they had bonfires. I want to avoid anyone else stepping on the foreign metal objects & thought it would be HELPFUL to have a metal detector.

I read several Amazon reviews & decided upon this metal detector.

Assembly took hubby all of 5 minutes, if that. We installed 2 rechargeable 9v batteries, & went to work.

The detector is USER FRIENDLY (even for a newbie to detecting), it detects ALL metal, & feels SOLID, & works WELL.
It has a CASE to store/transport it in, though you do need to REMOVE the detector screen to store the metal detector in the carrying case.

All you have to do is detach the wiring harness, which is a 2 second process.

The detector comes with the manual, detector pieces, a carrying case, AND a handy FOLDING hand shovel, which even has it's own separate storage pouch, which is great because it keeps dirt from off the shovel OUT of the main case.

As shown in the video, it is VERY easy to select ALL metal types. Tap the SET button TWICE & then ENTER, and you are READY to detect.

It has a screen backlight, which you can leave off to conserve battery life. It also has VOLUME settings & the CAPABILITY of adding a headset, should you desire (headset NOT included).

The unit feels SOLID, though NOT terribly heavy, it can tire your arm out if you use it for a long time (especially for a newbie like me).

Battery life is GREAT, with our USB rechargeable batteries (NOT included). The batteries were half charged when we installed them & still were about the same when we finished using it about 2 hours later. It is GREAT being able to use rechargeable batteries in it, to save money.

The ARM REST is COMFORTABLE & the ARM STRAP is SECURE, which makes for a comfortable exploring experience. My older/taller kids can use it without any issue (tween plus) when using the ARM REST, as they are 5' & taller. My shorter kids can use it too, though they can't use the arm rest because they are too short, it does NOT stop them. lol

Overall, we are VERY happy with the metal detector. It has SUCCESSFULLY found various items in the old bon fire area, like screws, nails, pennies, shards of metal, etc. VERY grateful those are pieces of metal, etc that will NOT be going into my feet, nor that of my hubby, kids, or critters.

This is a GREAT starter detector & also seems like it would also be great for the SEASONED metal adventurer too. Not sure what else one would need in a detector, because this seems to have it all.

HAPPY with our purchase!

We WOULD purchase it again.

This metal detector is awesome. Putting it together was super easy. All you have to get additional is the battery but after that it is pretty much turn the dial and start looking. The headphone output works great and it comes with a great compact shovel that I see myself using for this as well as camping.
