Great product slow ass shipping
Unfortunately I didn’t get this until well after Christmas when it was supposed to be here before. When it did come, my husband loved it. Can’t wait for spring and summer now! Something I would maybe add would be batteries that are rechargeable to go along with it. Would be worth it to add 😉Product is great, shipping is poor

Awesome metal detector!
Bought this for my husband for for a Father’s Day gift. He loved it! Works great and very easy to use. I was very Happy with the product, but the delivery was a nightmare. After numerous calls to Loomis express, it finally arrived over a month and a half later. The box Looked like it had seen better days, so I was a little concerned there may be some damage . Fortunately it was all good!

Excellent Budget Detector GC-1028
I've been metal detecting for many years now and I bought this detector simply to have an inexpensive backup in case one of my main units fails. Since it is the middle of winter here I was unable to test this product outside, however, I was able to do thorough indoor testing. I know some of you may find it odd I'd review this without outdoor testing, but believe me, a lot of detectors are tested indoors against each other in order to verify strength and discrimination ability ( I may update review once spring rolls around).I put this detector (with it's 10" coil) up against other detectors in it's relative price/power range. The Bounty Hunter Quicksilver, Garrett Ace 200, and Fisher F22 (all with 8" coils"). The coin test is simple; we move a coin side to side against the coil and see how far we can get a strong signal. In this case I'll just speak of the quarter test results, as I do not want this review to turn into an essay. The Quicksilver was able to keep a crisp signal with correct tone at 8", The Ace 200 was slightly less at 7.5", the F22 again 7.5", and this detector also came in at 7.5". Similar results were found with dimes, nickels, silver dollars, and fifty cent pieces. All in all, very much in the same ballpark for power.Now for the discrimination testing, all of the detectors worked correctly, however the large 10" coil on this detector does make pinpointing and garbage pickup a bit more of a problem. It's not terrible and this is a common issue when using larger coils. Long story short, the smaller the coil, the better it will be at using discrimination because it covers less area(smaller coils are also what you want if you are mainly searching for gold). I will point out the larger coils require a slightly slower movement/swing as they can miss things, so keep it a smooth motion back and forth when swinging.Without going into further detail, from what I have seen, this detector at under $100 is an absolute steal. It's definitely a beginner detector but it comes with bells and whistles that you usually don't see until you get to the $200+ range. If you are interested in the hobby and want to play on the beach, dig up your yard, or simply to have a backup like me, I recommend this detector.
