Visua Discriminating Metal Detector with built in Pinpoint function Includes Headphones, Batteries and a Folding Pick/Shovel Multitool (Detector Kit)

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.

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 :)

Ok admittedly I should have got more specifics about this product such as the length of the poles that connect the head of the detector to the controls I'm 6ft plus tall and it's just a tad too short for my liking but anyways the product does find metal objects no problem I've found all kinds of junk in my local field behind my home can't wait to get it on Skegness beach and give it a real test I look forward to it.The controls are simple and easy to useThe downsides are not quite long enough for my liking besides that its an ok piece of kit for any beginner metal detector hobbyistI am planning on purchasing a much more accurate and powerful metal detector in the future and when I do I will ensure that it's designed for us tall adults to use lolI'd recommend this product it hasn't failed me yet in finding metal objects I've only found junk up to yet lol

Yeah thats right this really is a good buy.Had bought the National Geographic metal detector for my eight year old son's birthday and was completely disappointed with it as it never worked from day one.Felt so sorry for him that yet another item received by him never came up to expectations (not even close)!I then checked out the reviews on the Discriminating Metal Detector here on Amazon and found them to be all positive. I decided to order it on the back of the reviews whilst still remaining doubtfull that it could be as good as most reviews were saying.Doubts totally unfounded, not only did it arrive within 72hrs of order (I'm on the far west coast of Ireland) but it works wonderfully well even for my eight year old. It even can discriminate between rusting old steel and the more likely interesting alloys and non ferrous metals.....as I said earlier, this really is a great purchase.My advice therefore is, if you don't want to spend hundreds on some really high tech machine but just want to enjoy a little metal detecting with a very cost effective alternative that in my experience really does work (and my excited son confirms this) then look no further than this and order it now, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
