Great portable metal detector with a multitude of features and functions, I got this for my daughter who is 10 years old and has aspirations of becoming a treasure hunter or at least find buried treasure and this looked the ideal tool with it being lightweight and the different detection modes to help filter out some metals allowing her to better target what she is looking for.
It arrived in a nice long National Geographic branded box with a very nice glossy manual giving a step by step easy to follow instruction guide all written in English and a metal detector learning guide which not only gives some history on the innovation of metal detectors it also goes on to explain how they work giving some guidance on following the law with responsible metal detecting.
The metal detector folds up to a nice compact lightweight easily storable size but is also very simple to assemble and takes very little time, the handle and bottom telescopic just slides out with a release clip and locks in place at the desired height, the LCD monitor and adjustment screen just folds down with a simple press release button and the bottom angle of the detector head in adjustable to get the correct angle with a hand tighten screw.
After unpacking the metal detector we fitted four AA batteries (not supplied) which go in a little compartment under the LCD screen unit and it was ready to go, we gave it a good test indoors with some different metals under a rug and it pinpointed and identified different types perfectly, we then took it outside for a test with my daughter hiding a few metal objects under the surface of the lawn and then seeing if I could find them and the metal detector picked them up instantly I went over them along with a few nails and screws we found.
The volume of the detector is very good giving a good clear indication of detection, it does have an ear bud port which we tried and it works perfectly, the build quality seems very good and although lightweight it is very sturdy and being lightweight easy to sweep over the ground with ease even for a 10 year old child.
I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking, fitting the batteries then taking it outside to find the items my daughter had hidden in the lawn.
