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

I love my metal detector!! Not only does the metal detector work great but it also came with alot of good accessories!!!

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

Great metal detector!

I think the metal detector is really super cool.
I have a lot of fun with them and also found a lot of old stuff.

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

I have never tried this hobby before, I got this Metal detector a couple of days ago. The device itself is quick and easy to set up with no tools required, its lightweight and comfortable so good for long periods of use. It also seems to have all the features you would need. I have only tested it in the garden so far as it has not stopped raining, it finds the nails and £1 I hid easily, the pinpoint mode works really well.

Although I had it up running and working in a few minutes it will probably take a bit of time and practise to dial all the settings and preferences in too experience the full functionality of this detector.

The metal detector compacts down to about 1m and fits into a carry bag that is included for easy transport.

I would say the metal detector is great for beginners who do not want to spend a lot of money before they know if they like the hobby, I am sure you will make some great finds with this machine.

I've used this at the beach, the bay, mountains, back yard, and the creek. I like this metal detector.

- It's detected metal objects as far as 18 inches underground for me. It detects even very small objects.

-The bottom coil is easily adjustable with a simple touch of the foot when requiring a different angle for detecting different slopes on the fly.

-It lasts a very long time on just two 9v batteries.

-Detects metal object in the creek when hovering over several inches of water.

-At the beach, I adjusted the sensitivity to 4 or 5 bars to avoid constant mis-hits due to the saturation of the sand and possibly the salinity of the water. I haven't figured out yet if/how I can detect objects with the coil actually submerged in water.

-The pinpointer works great. Just takes a little practice. I highly suggest buying a separate small handheld pinpointer to go along with this metal detector (this will help you save a lot of time and find those smaller objects before giving up.) With this Ricomax, I (1) get the hit, (2) use the pintpointer function, then (3) pinpoint with my small handheld pinpointer.

-It's easy to use. Any beginner can figure it out after reading the directions.

-This metal detector has provided hours and hours of entertainment and excitement.

-I've detected with this in the pouring rain, by just fashioning a plastic bad around the top and pressing the buttons through the plastic bag.

I love this and use it literally every week. A great hobby. I'm glad after looking at lots of reviews that I picked this one. Not a bad price, and I imagine it has the same functionality as some of the higher priced ones.
