This one is junk. It does detect metal 1/8" deep. We buried 2 coins a 1/4" deep in our sand box. Now I have to stop my 5 year old from screaming that we lost 2 quarters. Guess it is time to get the BIG shovel and sifter and find those quarters!

this thing sucked. it couldnt detect worth crap. oh except for the gum wrappers and the metal under concrete. I give it zero out of five stars but it made me put one. I lost a coin testing it. DO NOT BUY! unless you want to waste time and money.
