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.

Good pictures

This needs to be pretty close to the metal in order to trigger the detector. This is very portable, because it's small and packs away in a bag, so it would be great for going to the beach. It's a little hard to use on the ground (I had to crouch). You also need to be pretty close to the metal and this would not detect gold when the gold was on top of the plate, but not all metal detectors do.

I clearly watch far too much searching for gold programmes as I expected this to actualy have a metal deetctor inside lol. This is exactly why you should read the description, look at the price and most of all use your common sense, everything i did not do when ordering this.
I live in the uk, regualrly go metal deetcting on the beach with my children so I know exactly how messy metal detecting can get and the fact we do not get fine gold over here like they do in the tv programmes lol.
This may seem a basic bit of kit, basically a sieve and a shovel but both parts are light weight and plastic so not exactly heavy and so very portable.
Great invention, so simple and effective although it's not without it's flaws.
I use it mainly on the beach which is perfect when the sand is dry but when it;s wet it does tend to clog up so do be awre of this and maybe take a twig or something you can find to keep it clog free.
Al in alla good bit of equipment for any amateir metal detector

Mostly this has been a great pinpointer, contrary to what others have said:

1. It does beep faster as you get closer to the metal
2. You can change between beep with vibration and just vibration
3. It is now waterproof

So the issue... As others have also reported, it randomly will decide to just keep beeping as soon as you turn it on. You can still just about use it because it will beep even faster when close to an object, but you loose that first level of detection because usually that first beep tells you that you are near.

For the life of me I cannot figure out what causes it. Tried new batteries, removed the circuit board to check for loose wires, tried holding down the power button in case it resets the ground balance, but nothing. And then magically it will just work normally again.

It's a shame because now I don't feel I can trust it to be ready when I need it and will be looking for a new one. I would love to recommend it, but as I'm not the only person reporting this issue its clearly a common fault.

UPDATE:

I just couldn't let it go, my engineer brain wasn't happy.... the issue is a tuning issue and can be remedied it seems. To 'fix' the issue take a small metal object and hold it near the LED before you turn it on (you might need to experiment with the position), it should now turn on and be silent. At that moment in time it is tuned WITH the metal object there and removing the object will give you a pinpointer with very low sensitivity (less than a inch!).

If you now turn it off, remove the metal object and turn it back on, it should be back to normal. Failing that you can permanently keep a metal object in that location, ideally slightly adjustable in position.

Waterproofing:

Previously the LED was pushed against a hole in the body of the pointer. That hole now has a waterproof resin seal over it. They have also upgraded the rubber seal on the lid.

Final words:

When it works and stays working, it really does have great sensitivity. The light is so useful that I can use this perfectly well in the dark as my only light source when looking for the find. If you happen to find yourself owning one of these then you will not be disappointed if you know how to keep it operating correctly.

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 bought the detector because of Youtube videos. It is optimized for gold and coin mining. You will also find a German video tutorial on Youtube.

My attitudes are. Turn on the detector with output 90-100
Then do all-metal mode and floor leveling
Then do disk mode and adjust the filter so that under 35-40 depending on n ichts more will be displayed. The iron is then almost completely hidden. The depth performance is good and I can guess with 100 conductivity bars which metal is in the ground.

Unfortunately, the display light is missing. There are 2 differentiation of signal tones, just dig for treble.
Processing is not as good as with €500 detectors, but still sufficient. The price-performance ratio is TOP.
