Packed well, only took 5 minutes to put together very straightforward and simple, works great! Comes with headphones, shovel, carrying case! 5 stars again from ommo!

First a disclaimer: this was my first time using a metal detector and maybe I didn’t use it properly.
I need to find the property markers which are metal pipes buried in the ground just below the surface of the soil.
After I assembled the product, I tried to test in the house.
The detector kept going off on the kitchen floors which are tiles and concrete underneath. That was odd.
Then I took it outside in the yard to test how it work on the manhole cover, it would beep once or twice as I pass it over the manhole cover but didn’t hear constant beeping which I would expect given the size of the metal disc.
Finally I took it to the area where I was looking for the property markers. It gave a couple of false beeps, where I dug and found nothing.
It missed detecting the actual property markers, I initially thought maybe the markers are buried deep. But then I found them easily by simply poking the ground with a drill and the markers were just below the surface of soil, so not sure why the detector missed them.

I was curious to try out metal-detector-ing(?), and picked up this unit on sale for $95, plus a $30 rebate. The case it comes with was a lot better, and larger, than I expected; though I doubt I’ll use it. It comes with a survival-style shovel thing which is pretty cheap. The detector makes various beeps and boops as it detects various metals, and that’s about where I set the bar, because I have no idea what I am doing. So it seems pretty great.
My only complaints are:
1) the instructions are hard to understand. More pictures would honestly be helpful for someone who has never picked up a detector before. The descriptions of modes also leaves a lot to be desired; the controls could be better labeled so that they don’t require so much explanation.
2) the bolt that secures the sensor coil to the shaft is plastic. Easy to swap out for a proper fastener at your local hardware store.
3) The mode switch is very small and dainty. The pinpoint button is pretty cheap, as well. A tool should have better controls than that.

I was browsing metal detectors recently and had checked this one out. Next thing I know, Amazon sent me a message saying the price had been reduced. So I ordered it. This package has everything (pic#1) and, if you are a beginner like me, it makes for a nice set to start this new hobby. I gave the detector and all the parts 5 stars but the directions didn’t quite match the this detector so I gave overall 4 stars. Plus I had this extra wingnut and screw set (pic#2), which I am not sure what it is for as I couldn’t find a use for it after assembling the detector.
The detector itself works great and exactly as described in the instructions. I have used it a few times, and although I haven’t discovered any treasures yet, it does pick up on all types of metals and does emit different tones for them. I am looking forward to having lots of fun with this. Thanks for a great product.

I love the analog dial, quick note, it is better on battery life than the digital. Learn your tones with practice coins and you will be a pro in no time with this valuable tool.

It’s my first metal detector. My son is excited about going treasure hunting in our green belt in the backyard. Light weight and easy to use.

This thing is so versatile! Assembly was fast he had it unboxed and running in under 5 minutes and have used this for so many different things! It’s great for finding bullet casings in the grass after my husbands target practice and the kids love using it to look for “buried treasure” so it keeps them busy for a while. Its very light weight, and is super easy to use and understand. The display has two dials that you can adjust to help it sense certain types of metal and ignore others which comes in handy when we start finding a lot of old nails we adjust the dials so it doesnt pick those up anymore. It runs on two D batteries which are included and the battery life is decent too. The kit also includes a small folding pick/shovel combo to help dig up your findings and a set of headphones which I find great for using on windy days or when you just dont want to bother others with the noise. Definitely a great buy would recommend to anyone in the market for a metal detector

This item was delivered when promised, and packaged well. The instructions for assembly were a little confusing, but I was able to easily figure out how to put this together just by looking at the parts (there weren’t many.) I tried it out on my front yard, since we recently had someone spread mulch in the landscaping, losing a knife in the process. The metal detector was easy to use and not too heavy. It beeped everywhere we knew there was metal (even the pins holding the landscaping fabric in place under the mulch.) I like the adjustable sensor for different kinds of metals. We’re going to have fun letting the grandchildren use this to “find” coins that we hide in the grass!
