We purchased this metal detector to find a tiny gold-plated Pandora pendant that had broken off somewhere in a 40' radius of thick 6-10" deep grass.PROS: Ease of assembly & function, thorough instructions, 12" coil, overall comfort, included shovel & caseCONS: Very cheap headphones, random coil sensitivity, 9-volt battery lifeThe coil is very sensitive to interference & false positives (at all sensitivity settings): we learned to remove all of our jewelry, including wristwatch and pocketed phone, and keep them quite far away from the metal detector.The coil must lierally touch the ground: we found that lifting the sensor even 2" above the grass set off false-positives... presumably from RF interference (even though we were in a remote farm meadow).The Pinpoint ("PP") feature is only useful AFTER the normal search spectrum ("All-Metal") is used: Once there's a positive beep in "AM" mode, switching to "PP" enabled us to close-in on the object.The headphones are junk: Ours lasted all of ten minutes before simply stopping. The onboard speaker, fortunately, was adequate to hear the beeps.Battery life: The unit includes two heavy-duty 9-volt batteries, but their lifespan is rather short. We brought along two extra Alkaline batteries to keep the search going after the original batteries started waning after 45 minutes.After a full hour of scanning the 40' radius and going through trial & error false positives, we DID find the 3/4" X 1/2" pendant deep in the grass with the metal detector. So, overall, it was worth the cost and did the job.

I am an old lady who has always wanted a metal detector. When I saw the price, my mind said SOLD! Just after receiving the item I had a back yard party, all adults. Of course, I made this available. I was astounded with the excitment and interest all the men had..They were in the back alley searching for treasures including one prankster who threw some old Roman coin in the dirt. I never expected this to generate such enthusiasm! People were having fun because the metal detector worked just as indicated without any glitches...It seemed to be well made and easy to use. The weight makes packing and using a plus for hiking or outdoors. The extra items for treasure hunting were perfect to have on hand. Now everybody wants to borrow it! Great purchase, and good price!!

Signal goes in an out

absolute novelty! this thing constantly beeped even when pointed in the sky. junk!!!!

This is my first metal detector, and I absolutely love it! It is very easy to use and to set up. I was able to learn very quickly how to use it, and the I love the different options and settings it has, allowing me to focus on specific metal items I am looking for. It is great for kids as well, as my nieces and nephews love it as well. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to get into metal detecting. It is also easy to carry around, very light, and very simple to use in the field. The accessories that come with it are also very helpful and fun to work with. I can't say enough about this product, and the cost is very reasonable and affordable. Again, highly highly recommended!!! :)

It shows too many false beeps , but it works . For a beginner I guess is a good product. Battery life is too short . I like that is not heavy and easy to use.

I think this item is a good one, but I only give it 3 stars for the reason that it did not really work in the purpose I bought it and it gave me different readings for the same area I just sweepped some times...made me not sure did I use it incorrectly or there were just so many different things.....even showed precious metal.......kind of strange......and when I lightly dug the grass field, nothing.....Still recommend this product to all buyers, just not worked in the way I expected to find an iron-containing item I lost in grass field....

Worked well next to mine-labs 1000 for 12” or less depth. But not the same sensitivity when searching deeper or for nuggets.I buy where value meets need, and this meets my occasional needs.

This is my first metal detector, and it’s been a great experience! It’s easy to use, accurate, and the LCD display makes adjustments simple. The waterproof coil works great on the beach, and the different modes help filter unwanted metals.My child loves using it too, thanks to the adjustable shaft and lightweight design. The included bag and shovel are nice extras. Perfect for beginners and family fun—highly recommend!

Daughter loved it great way to get kids out of house and on adventures

Brother in law loved it

Was so excited to get this, had been wanting to try one forever but they were always to expensive. This is a great starter at a great price, and very easy to use. So easy to assemble and understand how to use it and even comes with a folding shovel so you always have one with you when you find your treasures. Only have tried in the backyard so far and can’t wait for the warmer weather to take to the beach.

Awesome for searching
