Great for little kids
This product would be fantastic for small children or anyone who is just getting in to metal detecting. Unlike the full stand-up versions, this detector needs to be within 1 foot of metal in order for it to detect anything. I burried several objects of different sizes at different depths to test it out. A penny directly under the surface of the dirt, measuring tape 6" under the dirt, a metal staple gun a foot under the dirt, and a handful of coins 1.5 feet under the dirt. I noticed it never detected the handfuls of coins and only detected the other items if I moved slow enough over them.
I thought maybe the coins were too small so I buried the staple gun 1.5 feet under the dirt and it still did not detect it. Videos that you see of people on the beach sweeping back and forth will not work with this product. You must go very slowly. Otherwise it won't detect anything. The flashlight that comes with it is very bright and works great. I will be taking this out to Riverbank in the spring to try it out underwater. Right now we already have snow on the ground so I'll have to wait a bit.
