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.

This metal detector for kids is better than I expected it was going to be. It works great, detects the different metals with high accuracy. I like that you can set it to alert on certain types of metals only or for any of the 3 types. It is very easy to assemble and then you are ready for a treasure hunting adventure!

This metal detector is marketed for kids but I can say it is better than expected. The unit, although being very lightweight and looking kid like, does a real quality job. First off this is very easy to assemble right out of the box. The directions are clear and easy to follow for assembly and for use of the detector.

It works great by detecting the different metal groups with high accuracy and even shows the depth. I like that you can set it to alert on certain types of metals for any of the 3 types. This eliminates false readings or readings for items you're not looking for. Would buy again!

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.

When it comes to metal detectors, I'm at best a beginner but the last one I owned wasn't as good as this one when it came to detecting anything below a few inches in the ground. With this metal detector, I'm able to detect almost a foot's depth in ground. Not to mention, this is fully waterproof and have been able to find things along the shore banks in lakes and small river banks near my home. Surprisingly, this is a lot more accurate than I thought it was going to be. The amount of things that I have found has been big to an antique spoon and few things that were bigger but then as small as what I later found out to be a small piece of gold. What I love about this detector is the accuracy and the fact that it doesn't weigh too much that it feels as though my arm is going to fall off. The sound on this was is clear, especially when it's detecting something and it can get fairly if you don't turn the volume down.

I have been doing metal detecting search for a long time. I had 2 metal detectors - Garrett and Deus xp. This metal detector is fast to assemble, good coil, convenient display, inexpensive .. It sees all targets, I used it on the beach, I liked it
The price includes headphones, which is convenient
