Purchased this for my 10 yo old Grandson who I think is going to enjoy using it to find the Lost & Unknown! The size & weight is perfect for that age or even an adult. I think it's going to offer years of exploring!
I did not expect such good sensitivity from such an inexpensive model. I look forward to many hours of treasure hunting in the future. It was a childhood dream =) Now that you are an adult, you have very little time to search for treasures..
My husband has only had a chance to try this in the house, but itcwas picking up the sxews in our floor joists, my wedding band, nails. The display was handy, he could see what items were in general, and the different beep tones helped too.
Arrived on time for my husband's birthday, he couldn't wait to get out and use it. The detector was easily setup and calibrated. The first time out using the detector we went to an old farmstead and my husband found a 1920 Canadian five cent coin within a hour (we also found lots of old metal farm peices) he's hooked on metal detecting now, along with our children. We're looking at getting another metal detector (same one) and possibly even a third one for the whole family to go out detecting
Feels like a premium product, and acts like a premium product. Loads of great features at a fraction of the price compared to similar products. I really like the easy to use functions, great battery life and quick refresh speed. One feature I found to be especially useful was the flashlight and display light for the earlier sunsets. I rarely give 5 star reviews and only if they're truly warranted. This detector is a worthy contender!
this detector works well. I ordered 2, one for me and one for my nephew. Having had a Bounty Hunter years ago I was going to order another. However, it wouldn't arrive until next week and we wanted to hit some places today since we had good weather.
Discrimination is great, I was able to drop all the garbage like iron.
Pin Point function is awesome
Back lite is great if you need it.
Controls are easy and right there for easy use.
Installation
As for now, this is all I have. Still looking forward to using all the other features.
I love the ease of use !!!! I have been finding a lot of items, unfortunatly nothing of worth, but it's been fun AND I'm getting my steps in too ! The reason I did not give 5 Stars is because I have been having problems detecting near the waters edge on the beach. People are telling me it's "Mineralzation" from the salt water. I am NOT detecting IN the water !!! But just getting near the waters edge sets it OFF ! I guess with the more expensive units you can elimanate this problem but I Love It anyway.
I'm Just a Beginner !!!!
It’s been fun! Haven’t found any big treasures yet, but have only had it for a short time! It’s sturdy and lightweight. Looking forward to using it more and more!
As a metal detecting Newbie I find this machine very simple to operate making the experience very calming to my new found community. I'm still learning my technique and continuing practicing my swing method to be more effective for my success in finding trash and treasures. Lol... " Just me being realistic". In summary... If you're looking to take up the hobby consider buying this machine. Price right and affordable. Happy hunting!
