Easy to assemble and comfortable to use for both kids and tall users. Controls are clear and easily set even without reading the manual. Volume, sensitivity, and a surprisingly good discrimation and lockout functionality all easy to dial in properly.

False triggers: I've used OTHER detectors for searching for lost items in my own yards, and they constantly triggered on nothing at all or responded to my fairly iron-rich soil, without being able to find good settings. This SunPow unit had no trouble identifying garbage and staying quiet if set to ignore trash.

Targetted triggering: i tested with MANY sample metal objects of all kinds ranging from gold to titanium to steel to copper and bronze... this detector only jittered slightly from correct identification (eg. copper might lean into bronze, but NEVER so wrong as steel) - EASY to determine whether to bother digging up a "hit."

Unit comes with a useful carry bag and a mini-shovel great for moderate users. Serious users may want a better shovel but having even a moderate one ALREADY with the unit is great.

Overall i'm very pleased with this unit... excellent for kids to moderate effort adults. ALL detectors will require learning how to use them effectively, but this is able to do all I've asked of it.

This is our first metal detector & it is SO much FUN!

We keep finding metal objects in our yard, that were left behind by the previous owners, & I have stepped on a few of them. They seem to be in a general area where we believe they had bonfires. I want to avoid anyone else stepping on the foreign metal objects & thought it would be HELPFUL to have a metal detector.

I read several Amazon reviews & decided upon this metal detector.

Assembly took hubby all of 5 minutes, if that. We installed 2 rechargeable 9v batteries, & went to work.

The detector is USER FRIENDLY (even for a newbie to detecting), it detects ALL metal, & feels SOLID, & works WELL.
It has a CASE to store/transport it in, though you do need to REMOVE the detector screen to store the metal detector in the carrying case.

All you have to do is detach the wiring harness, which is a 2 second process.

The detector comes with the manual, detector pieces, a carrying case, AND a handy FOLDING hand shovel, which even has it's own separate storage pouch, which is great because it keeps dirt from off the shovel OUT of the main case.

As shown in the video, it is VERY easy to select ALL metal types. Tap the SET button TWICE & then ENTER, and you are READY to detect.

It has a screen backlight, which you can leave off to conserve battery life. It also has VOLUME settings & the CAPABILITY of adding a headset, should you desire (headset NOT included).

The unit feels SOLID, though NOT terribly heavy, it can tire your arm out if you use it for a long time (especially for a newbie like me).

Battery life is GREAT, with our USB rechargeable batteries (NOT included). The batteries were half charged when we installed them & still were about the same when we finished using it about 2 hours later. It is GREAT being able to use rechargeable batteries in it, to save money.

The ARM REST is COMFORTABLE & the ARM STRAP is SECURE, which makes for a comfortable exploring experience. My older/taller kids can use it without any issue (tween plus) when using the ARM REST, as they are 5' & taller. My shorter kids can use it too, though they can't use the arm rest because they are too short, it does NOT stop them. lol

Overall, we are VERY happy with the metal detector. It has SUCCESSFULLY found various items in the old bon fire area, like screws, nails, pennies, shards of metal, etc. VERY grateful those are pieces of metal, etc that will NOT be going into my feet, nor that of my hubby, kids, or critters.

This is a GREAT starter detector & also seems like it would also be great for the SEASONED metal adventurer too. Not sure what else one would need in a detector, because this seems to have it all.

HAPPY with our purchase!

We WOULD purchase it again.

I always wanted a metal detector as a kid and decided to get this one for myself and our son. Very quick and prompt delivery. As you can see from my pictures, came in a smallish box so was slightly concerned. Assemble is very easy and almost straight forward, do follow the instructions. Once I assembled it, I realized it extended quite long and was almost ready for use. Two very important points; 1) the metal detector requires two 9V batteries that do not come with it 2) The shovel that comes with the unit is almost cute in size. Looking forward to many hours out and about with my son hunting for buried treasure.

Super lightweight and easy to assemble instructions make it easy to operate can’t wait to get started

Works very good easy to use i found somthing easy with it and is very easy to understand

I brought this for my kids who are 6 and 10 and they absolutely love it! We used it for a treasure hunt in the garden! Hours of fun and good quality for the price. Very light in weight so easy for my little ones to use too.

I bought this metal detector for my 14 year old boy.
We’ve only had it a day but have assembled it and tested it out.
Assembly was very quick and easy and it seems to work well.
Probably the correct choice for a beginner.
The detector comes with a case and a small metal spade, the only thing needed are x2 9volt batteries which can be purchased in most supermarkets and electrical / DIY stores.
The instructions are clear but it’s worth going on Ytube to watch footage of it being used correctly and to its full potential.

I am so happy with my new metal detector. It's absolutely brilliant. It was easy to put together and I really like that it's lightweight. The setting on this are really easy to understand and I love the fact that this model gives you an indication of what you have found on the display screen. I also really like that you get a bag with this because it makes it so easy to transport until you get to a place where you want to use it. The shovel that you get with this is really good. It's not a flimsy one so some of them that you might get. It's very durable. Me and my foster child are really looking forward to going out with our new metal detector and in his words, to find lots of treasure. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is thinking about purchasing a metal detector.

I got this for two reasons, to play treasure hunting with my son in the park and to search for historical coins in the fields. I’m pretty impressed with it so far. Good value. Setup is very easy, assembled it without instructions. Lightweight so it won’t be a strain to your arms. The beeper is loud enough in most environment but in windy days, it was hard to hear. Headphones is needed.

While this is a little above £100, it is relatively on the cheap side. The depth it can detect metallic objects won’t be as good as the more expensive detectors. I think the deepest item I found was about 4 inches, a Fanta can. The depth is dependent on the type of object and size. Personally speaking, for beginners, this is ideal. At some point, I will consider a more professional detector. I did contact customer service for additional info, quick response and info very helpful. So, you have that just in case.
