BaesanProfessional Metal Detector for Adults, Gold Detector with Bigger Waterproof Coil, High Accuracy, Pinpoint & Disc & Notch & All Metal Mode

My husband and I decided to take up a new hobby and start searching the beaches in our area for treasures..I really like that this metal detector utilizes an LCD panel that actually gives you an estimate about what is it is detecting before you take the time and effort to dig into the ground. The LCD panel is also useful in many ways, tells you how your battery life is looking. I especially love that feature as there’s nothing worse than wanting to use a device only to find it is dead.Setting the detector up was very easy. You really just have to connect a small handful of parts, insert 2 9V batteries, and you’re good to go. The package even contains a small foldable shovel for digging up your loot. A nice touch.I really like that it has two modes, and detects between different types of medals, so you can focus on your favorite. I now know that I have a powerful tool to use if myself or a loved one ever loses a valuable piece of jewelry.Really I’m happy with this purchase! Totally worth the price! It’s a Durable machine, and designed to last, also very comfortable to use.. lightweight and easy to maneuver

perfect

This machine works. Altho it cannot tell the difference from an alloy coin to a silver coin, you will still dig the tone, it's definitely not a pro model, and if you plan on actually getting into this as a hobby I recommend a different unit, the quest x5, few more dollars, but much better machine.If you have kids this one is great!

This is a very good detector!You just need to practice with it at first by placing different coins and metal on the ground and learning how to find the center of the location to where you would dig so you find the item on the first dig.I found money and a historic coin from my hometown dating back to 1895!

This detector has two ways to inform you that metal has been detected. The default mode will beep with different tones which the instructions say correspond to the type of metal detected but really just appears to be random. I used it with the metal shovel that came with it and it only picked it up about 50% of the time. Each time it detected the shovel it had a different beep indicating a different type of metal. This mode is useless. I would have returned this item if this was the only option for metal detection.The other mode is Pinpoint (PP) and it does work. It's basically a proximity beep so the closer you get to an object, the louder it gets.In terms of depth, it is good. It says it can detect metal about 9" down but it appears to be able to go even further than that, at least a foot.The construction is ok. It clicks together without tools and comes apart easily. It's light weight and comfortable to use.I'm not sure if i would recommend this detector. I never expected it to be able to distinguish different types of metals but that mode doesn't seem to even be able to detect metal reliably at all. Metal detection technology is really simple so I'm always surprised when I see detectors that are very expensive. Regardless how expensive a metal detector is, there is NO DIFFERENCE in its detection technology, the principal is the same. The difference is in the strength of the signal and size of the head.
