There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Anyway, forward a good number of years, and now I have a couple nephews around that age. I think long and hard about what to get them for Christmas. I always get them interesting, unusual gifts each year. I try to imagine what I would have wanted when I was their age. And I insist on it having some aspect that makes them think or learn about stuff.
And so for Christmas 2010 (a little over a year ago), I was making a list of all kinds of stuff I might want to give them for Christmas. Then it came back to me how I would have loved a metal detector growing up. And so, that's what I got them. My youngest nephew was 9 years old and the other was 12, by the way, when I gave them this.
I'm real picky about what I get, though. It took me a while of shopping and looking at specs and reviews before I decided that this was the best metal detector for the price. Most people said they thought it was of better build quality than most others for this price. It's ergonomic also, which was important to me since I didn't want my nephews to feel like it was too heavy or putting too much strain on their wrists. It can be used by kids or adults.
No, it doesn't have the fancy displays and bells and whistles that some of the more expensive models have, but that stuff isn't even something most people care about. What people care about is if it can find stuff. And according to my nephews' results and all the other reviewers out there, it is definitely up to that task. You don't need a fancy LCD or LED display. Those things add very little to the overall experience, and I personally think having an old fashioned analog display like this is actually cooler. It certainly makes it easier to understand, especially if you're a kid. And you don't have to worry about not being able to see the display in bright sunlight like you do with LCD displays.
This product even has swappable parts, so you can swap out the head with another one that detects more gold or another one which detects a smaller area or a larger depth. The head that comes with the unit is pretty good for finding metals in general, though, so I doubt we'll ever get those other parts. But it's that sort of thing that caught my eye about this product. It says that the manufacturer has put a lot of thought into its design and doesn't just want to sell you a new unit each time.
Actually, this metal detector went to only one of my two nephews, the older (12 years old at the time) one. I thought about getting them both one each, but I expected they would share it. And I was right. My brother tells me they both love it. The older nephew moves it around while the younger one digs for the treasure. They're a two man team, and it goes a lot faster that way since one can continue looking while the other is digging away. It was maybe just a little too big for the younger nephew (9 years old at the time), but he could still use it just fine.
Anyway, my brother tells me they bring it with them on family trips and vacations. Especially to the beach. Apparently they've already found some things of real value. They found a watch valued at over $250 on the beach one day. They found an expensive knife once. They find coins. And of course bottle caps. This just adds a whole other dimension to any family outing. My brother tells me that they look forward to being able to use the metal detector whenever they go on trips now. They take it everywhere.
Here's something you'll want to do. I told my brother before giving them this Christmas gift from me that he had to throw some coins around the yard ahead of time. Then when they open up the present, I told him to tell them that there are coins hidden in the yard for them to find and go to it! They enjoyed that a lot, and it got them hooked on day one. I think my brother said they found most of the coins he put out there, too. And they found some stuff he didn't even know about. Cool!
As for the educational value of this, it's phenomenal. The kids learn about electro-magnetic fields and metals. They also dig up pieces of history and try to research what it is they've found. And poking around nature, they get to see the natural world, which is something a lot of kids don't do these days.
Actually, for older teenage kids and adults, there's yet another educational level to this, which I didn't even know about until I saw something on TV about it. Apparently there are "historical" treasure hunters out there. They learn about historical places that used to exist but are now just uninhabited wilderness or maybe public parks and such. They're not historically famous places like Valley Forge or something. Those places don't let you do any metal detecting, I don't think. But at these non-famous places, you can use your metal detector and dig all you want. Since they're obscure places, they may not have already been gone over by others with metal detectors yet. And that means you can sometimes find really interesting things.
So to any parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles out there, this is a great gift to get the young ones. It has stood the test of time. My nephews are still excited about it and take it everywhere. They now have iPhones, iPads, PS3's, and laptop PC's. You can give them yet another video game to add to their collection, and it will be cool for all of a couple weeks or so. The metal detector isn't something they'll outgrow or get bored of that easily. It's something they'll keep coming back to when they get bored of all the other stuff they have. It also gets them out of the house and into the real world for a change. For the price, it's well worth it for the entertainment and educational value. I highly recommend it.
Hope that helps.
Considering this product's relatively low price, I thought it might have trouble finding anything, but this detector is very good at finding coins as well as trash. (Note that I use this detector in conjunction with the aforementioned Garrett Pro-Pointer, which speeds up the recovery speed perhaps 10x and is amazing to see/hear in action. You really need both, or the recovery process will be excruciatingly slow.) After a few days' practice, I am starting to be able to discern the size and depth of an object even before digging, which helps me decide whether to even bother digging. (I realize I may be passing up some treasure, but digging up lots of trash is so discouraging!). So, now I am pulling up mostly coins and trash that's the same size as a coin. I still haven't found anything the least bit rare, and I figure my hourly "wages" have averaged about 40 cents (from the coins I find), but it's fun, and I'm still hopeful I'll find something worth talking about some day.
In practice, I generally leave the sensitivity setting all the way up, the mode set to TONE (which beeps nicely to indicate treasure and beeps harshly to indicate trash), and the discrimination level set to about half way. However, if I am in an area that has hardly any metal and am struggling to find anything, I set the mode to ALL, and turn the discriminator down all the way (because that maximizes the machine's overall sensitivity). Once I get a beep, I switch to TONE and 50% discrimination to get an idea of what's buried. Later, I try to remember to switch the settings back to maximize sensitivity. There are lots of ways to successfully use the controls. The worst thing to do is to not bother learning how they work because they are essential to your success.
The length of the stem of the detector is adjustable (just like on exercise equipment), so I shorten it to the shortest setting to fit it in my car's tiny trunk, and I lengthen it to the longest setting when I'm using the detector.
To preserve battery life, I turn the detector off when It's located something. Then, I use the Garrett Pro-Pointer to narrow it down even closer, digging as needed. I turn the Pro-Pointer off ASAP to preserve its battery too. On the other hand, If I'm in an area that's chock full of coins, I don't bother turning either device off because doing so would slow me down too much and not save much battery life. Speaking of batteries: both devices take standard 9-volt batteries. I haven't had to replace the batteries during perhaps 20 hours of use!
Aspects that surprised me:
* It beeps if it bumps into something hard, such as a rock. At first, I thought it had found metal, but re-sweeping the area indicated no metal.
* It is more sensitive when sweeping left and right than forward and backward.
* It doesn't discriminate (between trash and non-trash) as well when sweeping fast as when sweeping slow.
* Normally, it has to be moving to detect anything, but if the signal is very strong (such as when the treasure is on the surface or is large), it can basically be motionless and still beep.
I haven't used it with a headset yet, so I can't comment on that aspect, but the built-in speaker is plenty loud for most of the places I've taken it. They say the battery lasts longer if you use a headset.
I was debating whether to give this product 4 stars or 5. I decided to give it 5 stars because, for the price, I can conceive of no way at the present that anyone could improve upon it. Still, wouldn't it be cool to have a device that could definitively tell you what's buried down there?
It was inexpensive, arrived quickly, was easy to install, and easy to figure out how to use.
On my very first attempt to use it, I found several metal objects buried in my yard. Unfortunately, most tended to be old nails or other worthless/useless trinkets. But it found them. I did play with some of the controls to filter out such things, and those settings seemed to work properly when I tested items that I'd already discovered and dug up. But I tend to leave it set to alert for anything, because you never know whether the thing it's skipping is something important or not.
Anyway, I heartily recommend this to beginners/novices. I'm sure there are better, fancier metal detectors out there, but this one was inexpensive and seemed to work really well.
Overall I recommend checking out this metal detector if you're just getting into detecting, or if you want an affordable gift for a kid/teenagers getting into the hobby.
