Bought this to search for my missing wedding band in the yard - no luck there so I'm still in the dog house with the wife but that's not the detectors fault as I may have lost it anywhere in the county.It took a little practice with some coins on the ground to set the proper sensitivity for my yard and figure out that a repeatable beep in the same spot meant something vs a random beep due to some other factor but that only took about 2 minutes :)However! The Pancky detector has an easy learning curve and will prove to be a lot of fun down the road with the grandchildren.PROS:- It's simple to assemble. Ensure that the tension pad in the two ring collars on the handle parts are retracted (just twist to the difficult to see 'unlock' position embossed on the top of each ring) else you will wonder why you cannot fit the handle pieces into each other but other than that everything is straight forward.- The great included carrying bag, shovel, headphones, and even the batteries made this unit a fun and functional right out of the box experience!- It goes a long way towards appeasing a wife who expects you to trace every step taken since you learned to walk in search of a wedding ring...
