IT CAME ,IT SEARCHED , IT FOUND.
For those of you who are doubters let me put your minds at rest, forget the oh its a rubbish bit of kit and very expensive, thats a load of shoe leather as I will tell you what I think of this Metal Detector.And I will Speak the TRUTH Warts and All.I am a member of a Field Archery Club, we do not stand on bowling green grass and fire arrows at BIG round targets then off to the Club house for Tea and Choccy Hob Nobs,our range consists of streams, small and big lakes, muddy trails about a yard wide,ish,mud,stinging nettles, mud, lots of crawling over and under trees, oh and mud,did I mention Horse Flies, midges,mozzies, asorted flying insects,brambles,rushes,and of course that old favourite Mud.Our targets are hand built from Penguins and Turkeys to 8 foot high Bears.So when we had lost a good few Arrows it was decided that what we needed was a Metal Detector and having read about this item about the same thing with another Archery Club I bought this one based on that write up.First day on the range and this was my first time using one of these Detectors,so off I went,5 seconds later PING PING,I thought no way, but there under 2inches of grass and earth was an arrow,and it was one of my own as well,I never realized I had miss counted when I picked them up last time there,so that was the start,when I had finished that area I had five arrows found and went on the range target area`s now after getting some funny blips and finding no arrows I dug down at least two inches of earth to find an old shotgun cartridge.Today I went down and in a lot of thick grass found an arrow that had been lost for over three months and the owner of it was taking the mickey as they had looked for an hour and not found a thing,he was gobsmacked as he was watching me do my stuff.Sorted.So to all of those who expect £500 performance from this Detector forget it, this is a great bit of kit if you want to start off with something not Mickey Mouse,Bright Pink or falling apart after a day at the beach then get one of these,Easy Peasy setting it up as there are not a lot of bits nor fiddly parts to lose in the carpet and its easy instructions are a doddle to understand,I did and I am 64,its light and not going to tear your arm off after an hours detecting,its a great easy to use and fun bit of kit,oh yes,it is not a nasty piece of junk either we are very happy with it and when you consider our arrows are wood and only have a Metal Point this great little detector found arrows in over two inches of compacted grass and even deep grass when 6 blokes looking for them could not then all I can say is buy it and have some great fun finding all things metal,I am going down again to the range soon and I have some places where there are quite a few lost arrows and I am totally confident that our NEW Club Metal Detector will find all the arrows we have lost this YEAR,no problem. WARTS NONE. POINTS OUT OF 20, EASY 25.

Casual treasure hunting :)
Nice present for the beginner/hobbyist. No use spending hundreds of £ if the item is used for a few weeks, then to be shelved, as happens with many gizmos. And that is where this relatively cheap priced metal detector fits in.It does have a comprehensive analogue readout, yet it sports certain features found on more expensive metal detectors : headphone jack, sensitivity and volume regulator, and a discriminating dial ( the latter not so discriminating ).I found the item works quite well on sandy beaches, with good detection. Kids will love this "toy", yet it is not really a toy meaning that a certain level of experience is needed, especially with ground proximity. If abused the detector will break, as with most detectors.Having said that, the detector is very well priced, and I would recommend it to families who want to involve their kids, even though its easier said than done as the parents will end up using it :)

excellent service
I bought the Discriminating Metal Detector for my grandson from a third party. When we ran into a problem with it appearing to be completely dead he put me onto the wholesaler/manufacturer - In21. They spent time helping me and then decided to do a replacement of the detector at their cost (even though they didn't supply it!). It seemed the replacement didn't work either, which seemed unlikely as they had confirmed it working their end before posting. Add to that the packaging was more than adequate and there was no sign of any damage. After talking to David (at In21) for some time we realised that my 'straight out of the packet' batteries were dead and the unit worked absolutely fine (after my visit to the shop for second set of new batteries). This does show that you need very well charged, quality built batteries to work the device.The detector goes together simply and is quite robust. As it isn't for me I haven't taken it outside. All I've done is try it over a cupboard with scissors in the drawer below - which it detected.Rather than berating me for costing them money and wasting their time, In21's response was that they were glad to have solved the problem. They said don't hesitate to call back if any other issues resolve themselves as my grandson learn's to use the detector.Utterly wonderful service; highly recommended.

Disapointed Child at Christmas
My son was looking for a metal detector ALL YEAR so we arranged for Santa to bring one at Christmas. On opening the gift my son was ecstatic, however due to the terrible weather we could only use it indoors. All Christmas day was spent hiding pennies and waiting for dry weather. On the FIRST USE OUTDOORS, the unit failed. I changed batteries and made sure to check the instructions - just in case. My son was terribly disappointed and wanted to know why Santa would bring broken toys! When asked what the best part of Christmas was it was getting a metal detector - the worst part - was getting a broken one!I would avoid this like the plague if you are buying for a child or at least make sure you check it well before handing it over.In saying that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The machine is flimsy but it is cheap and you wouldn't want a child to have to carry a heavy one.I will be returning this ASAP.

déconseillé même pour les amateur
Très sécu car une très mauvaise tenue en main ,le disque est plus petit que la moyenne. Et le pire c qu'il ne produit qu'une seule tonalité que sa soit du cuivre, fer, laiton ou or le son reste le même je le déconseille fortement même pour amateur

Práctico y fácil de usar en tierra o agua poco profunda
Funciona muy bien (no tanto con metales muy pequeños), la discriminación es aceptable y puede funcionar en agua poco profunda, así que en líneas generales es un buen detector de metales para principiantes.En lo negativo, el indicador no lo veo muy útil, ya que casi siempre marca 10, además que las mezclas de metales pueden afectar un poco la discriminación. Aún así, estoy satisfecho con los resultados.

Buena precisión
Un detector de metales discriminante que funciona bastante bien. No puedes pedir algo "profesional" a este precio pero la calidad parece bastante buena, no ocupa bastante espacio y promete horas y horas de hobby si eso es lo que buscas y te interesa. Discriminar discrimina, pero tampoco es ninguna maravilla.
