This metal detector is definitely fun for kids. Just ensure you read the manual to understand how it works and how to properly read the display.

This is small, like a toy. It's made of colorful plastic, like a toy. It is, however, extremely functional and good at what it does. The instructions are thorough on how to use it and what to avoid while using it. When storing, you should not leave the batteries in it, they will leak and nobody likes that. I wish it would fit in its case without having to break it down every time. For a small entry level metal detector, it's really good and yielded mostly accurate results.

This little detector is so cute. It comes with AA batteries so you can use it immediately after assembly, nice little hand tools: a spade & a little hoe, & a bag that holds everything perfectly. The bag can be used as a backpack, & will hold some type of storage for any treasures you &/or your kids find! Great item for a family activity, definitely recommend

It's easy to assemble and easy to operate.
It's pretty straightforward. 3 target ID categories and a depth reading.
The depth reading was hit or miss but the target ID was spot on for 2 types of coins and iron.
Has a backlight and sound, which were nice.
I was able to get about 6" on an air test with a quarter. My daughter will love practicing with this until she can understand and swing an ace250. It's size adjustable and she was able to get it to fit her perfectly.
I currently use a nox600 and at pro. It was pretty fun to test this. I'm excited for her to find something with it!

10 year old boy loves this, he assembled it himself. We have another similar one the 10 year old girl owns, now that he has one, he is very happy. Adjustable to the length needed from arm reach to ground, so nothing too long or short, pole adjusts. It is not overly heavy, has a little weight, but not enough to strain out a child. This one didn't have the added wrist stabilization weight feature, that would rest on arm to balance out, just a straight out handle pole from the reader. It has a little rope you can hang up after use.

We tested this out during a backyard renovation. It found pipes, staples, nails and decades old lost items. Missing hair clips, some old beading wire, a paperclip, parts of metal objects we don't recognize and some metallic stones.
So far, it accurately predicts how far down an object is and what it might be.
It hasn't died, but we only used it for an hour or so each day.
I paired it with a magnetic pole to pick up anything near the surface. I don't know why one isn't included with the detector. It seems like a logical combination.
Bottom line: Would I order again? I might. Would I gift it? Yes. It's a fun distraction and helpful during remodeling. I hate losing nails and staples.

You won’t be using it on Oak Island, but it’s a lot of fun to take out on a hike or family trip to the beach! I’m 5’5”, and feel that I can use this easily. Registers metals as different ones on the screen, which is really exciting! Coil is sensitive and quick to react the closer something is to it, which I only mention because I’m not sure how accurate the depth measure is. It’s not super easy to understand. So, as a rule of thumb, the louder the sound, the closer the metal is. On the downside, it’s difficult to collapse into the very basic carrying case. Really glad to have it!

Picked this up so my 6yr. old son could join me when I go metal detecting on the beach. This metal detector fit the bill prefect. He loved it right out of the box. It's nice and light weight for him and was adjusted to the perfect height for him. The pictures on the screen are perfect for him to he gets very excited when he sees that the money target starts beeping. First outing to the beach he found over $1.00 in change and was super excited. The included backpack is great to hold everything. For an inexpensive kids metal detector this is a great buy for anyone looking to have some fun searching for treasures.

I have been thinking I needed to try out a metal detector on my property. I recently found out that my property has a lot of history associated with it. Maps indicate it was at part of an Native American village and in the civil war a battle line was nearby. then later in the roaring twenties it was either the first or last hole of a country club golf course. So my yard has a lot of potential for some interesting finds and look forward to some discoveries.
The handle has indicators that tell you if it might be a nail type metal, jewelry or coin find.
I am 5'4 and with the handles installed at the longest length option it works for me. Have not had the chance to test the accuracy other than going around the yard and getting hits. i did put it near some screws on the deck and it showed it was a nail type metal.

This metal detector for kids is better than I expected it was going to be. It works great, detects the different metals with high accuracy. I like that you can set it to alert on certain types of metals only or for any of the 3 types. It is very easy to assemble and then you are ready for a treasure hunting adventure!
