5.0 out of 5 stars easy to learn, easy to use, August 28, 2007

For most metal detectors, we need to learn and practice before we can really get it work. This model is very easy to operate without spending a lot of time learning. I recommend this model for lazy people like me.

The performance is also as I expected.

I bought one from a local dealer and started scanning my boy friend's yard (house built in 1920's). Immediately I picked up all sorts of signals. After a while I became used to the different tones and began discriminating what to and not to dig. I found 3 spoons, one of them is silver, and 5 wheat pennies. The next day I found about $ in change. I think its a great deal for the money.

My 11 y.o. son got this for Christmas and has enjoyed it immensely ever since. He and his friends have found many coins and treasures in the sand at the beach. A quality detector that is perfect for older children and provides hours of wholesome fun!
