Editorial Review
Treasure seekers, begin your quest for valuables armed with this lightweight metal detector. This silver-and-red metal detector extends from 24.5 inches to 39 inches long and features a sensor ring that folds and swivels for easy storage. Insert a 9-volt battery (not included), adjust the unit for your height, and sweep over the ground to detect forgotten treasures. Coins, keys, and even rings register with a beep and a flashing red light. Whether it's the thrill of discovery or the promise of riches soon to be discovered, this metal detector is sure to please. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the whole family, February 10, 2001
By lisa hinkle (dwale, ky United States) - See all my reviews
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
My son wanted an expensive metal detector and saving his money to buy one. He expected it to cost about $100. I ordered this one and was worried about how well it would actually work. It works great. We are all impressed. My son has found alot of coins in the yard and nails and screws around the garage. Handy! When he passes it over the right spot, the alarm sounds and he knows where to dig. I'm not too happy about the holes but he is having a great time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment!, July 4, 2003
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I originally bought this with my 11-year-old niece in mind, but as it turned out, it was a real hit with her 6-year-old sister. We took it to the playground and we took turns swinging it back and forth and within about 30 minutes had found some tinfoil, a bottlecap, a penny, and a nail. She had a blast. My 5-year-old daughter enjoys figuring out what's metal inside the house, too, and then swings the detector near it to see if she's right. I think it has great educational value.

I know it's just a toy, but I do wish it had a better range. The booklet that it comes with claims it will detect a ring at about 1", but I have my doubts. The bottlecap and penny were buried about 1/2" underground, and I only got a small beep when I passed over them. And they are solid!

As for durability, it really remains to be seen as I've only had it a couple of weeks. So far the battery life doesn't seem to be anything to worry about. We've had it on for probably close to 3 hours and it is still working. An auto-off feature would be a nice improvement, though, because the younger kids never remember to turn it off.

One other note: no need to buy batteries to go along with it, because the required 9 volt battery is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Metal detector for a good price, December 25, 2002
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
When we got this metal detector, we figured it wouldn't work to well, since it [cost very little]. We were wrong! We went around with it for about 5 minutes and in that short time we found coins, wrappers, and even a peice from a necklace that has been lost for 3 years! I highly recommend this product to anyone with children who want to have fun for a small price.
