Just got the metal detectors about a week ago the first day I took it out of the box I'm going to be able to put it together in about 2 minutes very simple to put together. After putting together but batteries in it I was able to go in my yard and find a couple quarters and the necklace my kids lost in the yard. Then I'll at my two girls use it in a regular van a couple quarters in a nickel in the yard so is it a simple machine that you should be able to use. Looks great too. Comes with a great bag to keep it in so you don't get dirty or anyting and keeps keep your extra batteries in there too

I look cool on my Christmas tree, since 2011 I wanted to have one and now this year at the end of the year I have it, I can't believe I have it in my hands.
All that remains is to try it outside since I already tried it inside and it shows well, it's just a matter of learning the buttons and x thing uWu

Easy to assemble and comfortable to use for both kids and tall users. Controls are clear and easily set even without reading the manual. Volume, sensitivity, and a surprisingly good discrimation and lockout functionality all easy to dial in properly.

False triggers: I've used OTHER detectors for searching for lost items in my own yards, and they constantly triggered on nothing at all or responded to my fairly iron-rich soil, without being able to find good settings. This SunPow unit had no trouble identifying garbage and staying quiet if set to ignore trash.

Targetted triggering: i tested with MANY sample metal objects of all kinds ranging from gold to titanium to steel to copper and bronze... this detector only jittered slightly from correct identification (eg. copper might lean into bronze, but NEVER so wrong as steel) - EASY to determine whether to bother digging up a "hit."

Unit comes with a useful carry bag and a mini-shovel great for moderate users. Serious users may want a better shovel but having even a moderate one ALREADY with the unit is great.

Overall i'm very pleased with this unit... excellent for kids to moderate effort adults. ALL detectors will require learning how to use them effectively, but this is able to do all I've asked of it.

Super lightweight and easy to assemble instructions make it easy to operate can’t wait to get started

We are doing a backyard shed demolish/rebuild and I decided to see how good this was at finding nails etc. As anyone with a riding lawn mower knows, replacing a punctured tire is not cheap! I found out that we are pretty good at cleaning up after ourselves.. I only found my "planted" nail (and yes I did a true "find", sweeping my detector across a wide area) but the detector did find it, and showed the correct material found, on the screen (slightly blurry pic). But I did find a sharp piece of wire that was matted down in the dirt/grass, hidden. Be aware of interference from large objects such as trampolines, wire fences or crowbars. Definitely detects those, and you can forget about finding anything within 6 feet of a trampoline! Great buy!

This is my first metal detector and I've enjoyed getting used to using it. I got it mostly so I could spend time with my Grandson looking for "buried treasure" but I've found that I enjoy it myself as well.

I even found an old pocket knife that I had lost at the beach near our house. I remembered about where it should have been and it was still there. But without the detector I'd have never found it again. So it's paid for itself already as far as I'm concerned.

I also tried it in shallow water and it worked fine but I didn't find anything there.

I found that it is very easy to use. It's well made and easy to assemble. I love that it came with the storage bag. Also very handy was the folding shovel.

My grandson and I are looking forward to our next adventure as pirates seeking treasure.

Works very good easy to use i found somthing easy with it and is very easy to understand

I bought this metal detector for my 14 year old boy.
We’ve only had it a day but have assembled it and tested it out.
Assembly was very quick and easy and it seems to work well.
Probably the correct choice for a beginner.
The detector comes with a case and a small metal spade, the only thing needed are x2 9volt batteries which can be purchased in most supermarkets and electrical / DIY stores.
The instructions are clear but it’s worth going on Ytube to watch footage of it being used correctly and to its full potential.

I always wanted a metal detector as a kid and decided to get this one for myself and our son. Very quick and prompt delivery. As you can see from my pictures, came in a smallish box so was slightly concerned. Assemble is very easy and almost straight forward, do follow the instructions. Once I assembled it, I realized it extended quite long and was almost ready for use. Two very important points; 1) the metal detector requires two 9V batteries that do not come with it 2) The shovel that comes with the unit is almost cute in size. Looking forward to many hours out and about with my son hunting for buried treasure.

Fantastic beginner metal detector. Easy to learn with and it works great. I haven’t found a coin yet, but I have a bucket of old metal I’ve dug up on my treasure hunts in our woods. If you’re a beginner and not quite sure if you want to purchase an advanced detector this is a really good one to learn on. Definitely be sure to buy a handheld pinpoint detector and some 9V batteries to accompany this. You’ll have a blast learning!
