5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent kids detector!, January 13, 2008

This review is from: Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)

This detector is excellent for kids, The size is just right and it introduces them into the world of detecting. The detector is of good solid quality and is a little version of an entry level adult model. You do have to explain to them how to use the discrimination controls because they are kind of confusing for a kid but they pick it up quick. The detector has actually found old cans and coins that have been about 5 feet underground so it searches pretty deep. I recommend this product!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for starters but don't get your hopes up, March 29, 2007

This review is from: Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this for my 7-year old because he was begging for a metal detector for his birthday. We received the BH Junior Metal Detector, slapped in the batteries, and went prospecting in our backyard. The sensitivity knob is not linear at all. It's either extremely sensitive or doesn't pick up much of anything. We were able to dig up a buried strand of barbed wire and a few nails, but I think it was more luck than a direct result of the device helping us.

I would say this is good as a novelty but if you want something serious, consider a better detector.

5.0 out of 5 stars works great for my application, June 7, 2008

By	William D. Jourdan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)

i bought it to find the lot line stakes in my yard. it found them no problem. one was 3 inches below the surface. also found some pennies and some other junk that i didn't really want to find. then i read the directions and learned how to turn the sensitivity down so i didn't find those small objects. i noticed it finds the re-bar inside my concrete driveway too. that wasn't particularly usefull, but it was fun to play with for a few seconds.
