I have used this metal detector several times over the past month with no issues. I liked the brand so much, that I bought the pin pointer as well. Value for the money is pretty good. I have found a lot of junk, such as nails and quite a few coins. Just make sure to buy extra 9 volt batteries. The tool is decent and the bag that it comes with has extra room for any needed items.

the assembly to this product was not very easy modifications had to be made parts were inside the box laying around screw missing a nut things like that, wasn't laid out to fit exactly the way it was supposed to go have not used the product yet but yes my initial assessment is I'm not very impressed

Product as described and works well

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

I wanted a metal detector that was easy enough for a beginner to use, but had features of a more advanced detector. I found everything I wanted in this metal detector. It gives an approximate depth and number that corresponds with the material you found, which seems to be relatively accurate. Very easy to use. Very comfortable when using. I highly recommend this detector for someone starting out.

Snow is too deep for field testing right now. Indoor testing is very good. Easy and straight forward to use controls. Steady signals for each type of metal. Construction is light but sturdy. Will help a lot with my arthritic hands and other joints. Can’t wait for the snow to melt and start using outdoors.

I've had time to use it and I think its capabilities are far more extensive than any other detector I researched at the time. The build quality could be a double-edged sword. It is VERY light and that makes it easy to carry. On the other hand: It is VERY light and that might not lend itself to MANY years of service. It seems well constructed and I will update my review after I've had more time to evaluate its resistance to adverse environmental conditions. It looks like it'll be quite reliable as long as I don't submerge it up to/near its control panel. The electronics located in the panel are water resistant but NOT WATERPROOF. The coil at the bottom and the stem/cable seem to be very well sealed, so as long as the operator is careful (and it isn't dropped) it's likely to be perfectly fine. Very highly recommended,

I ordered this specific metal detector because it was supposed to include batteries and headphones. I contacted kentfaith after the first package arrived without the headphones or batteries. They implied I either didn't see them or they must have fallen out of the box. So they said they would send a 2nd kit and I will need to return the 1st whe it arrived. The 2nd one arrived today and there are no batteries or headphones and neither are mentioned anywhere in packing materials. The metal detector itself is ok. Was looking for something the kids can use to treasure hunt on the beach this summer.Update. Amazon and the seller were both very helpful in fixing issue. Bought headphones and batteries and my kids are very happy with the metal detector.

Received as a Christmas gift! Easy to set up and use. We took it out and used it the same day of receiving it. I love that you can program the unit to not pick up certain items! That makes treasure hunting better and more efficient. The bag that is provided is durable and made of high quality material. It came with headphones that work very well and a metal heavy duty shovel that screws together. There’s a pocket for storage on the bag and the shovel comes with its own bag. Overall I’m satisfied with it. I would purchase again

These get slammed on the Reddit metal detector sub for being sub-par with the better metal detectors. That's fine. It's not a high-end machine. But it's a good beginner's machine. Accurate enough, dependable enough, easy to assemble and start using. You take it out, you find stuff. It takes 2 9 volt batteries, so if 9 volt isn't your thing, look elsewhere. I went ahead and got a 9 volt recharger and some extras.I will say this: my 2 daughters and I have a blast taking this thing out "treasure hunting," along with a pinpointer. They are absolutely thrilled when it beeps and can't wait to do what kids love to do -- dig. The 9 year old gets an orange pin pointer, the 5-year old gets a magnet and a spoon (I know, not conducive to proper metal detecting) and daddy get this thing and both a big shovel and the smaller shove that comes with this set (which is a heavy duty little shovel, btw). Then we all go to town -- team building, disussing what metals are -- steel vs gold/silver, magnetic, etc., Hoping to find "fossils" and "treasure," we treasure by searching and finding whatever we find.Easy assembly, easy to use. Great entry level machine. Will you outgrow it? I hope so. I hope this opens up new possibilities and dreams for anyone who uses it. But it's a good starter within this price range to see if you (or you littles) catch the treasure-hunting bug.
