Customer Reviews

Daughter enjoys it, but some things aren't perfect
I purchased this for my 9 year old daughter who is very interested in nature, exploring, and adventure. While she really enjoys using it, one issue we've found is that the sensitivity setting isn't linear, that is, it's difficult to tune it in such a way that it either picks up every bottle cap and pop top, or it won't find an iron spike sitting on the ground. As a first metal detector for a child though, it's entertaining, and allows for fun games. I'd toss some quarters into the yard or out in the woods and let her go try to find them, or bury a small metal box filled with coins or small toys and let her go on a treasure hunt. Overall, I'd recommend it for children 5-12.

Great for the price.
I bought this to find my property pins (rebars) so that I can put up a fence. It enabled me to pin-point their locations with the help of a survey. Mission accomplished. Just make sure to read the instructions and adjust it to the type of metal that you are looking for. Not bad for $50!

Toy metal detector
I thought that this locator would at least locate large metal objects, but I was wrong. This is more like a kids toy than an actual metal detector. Don't waste your money if you actually want to use it for something relevant.
