Meet all my expectations, satisfied!!!
I purchased this as a gift for my kid who wanted to go beach combing. I'd owned a couple of cheap metal detectors as a kid and was immediately impressed the relative sophistication of this model. I was looking for something a bit better than a base model but not prohibitively expensive so this was perfectly placed.
To date, we've used it twice. The unit gives off a different tone for different metals and the display gives an indication of depth too. This is really useful when deciding when to stop and when to move on. The sensitivity can also be adjusted, we started with it on maximum but soon realised that reducing it slightly gave us more consistent results.
It takes 2 9 volt batteries which are still reporting as full after 2 sessions. You can turn off the backlight on the display to conserve power. It is waterproof as advertised, I've used it along a river bank with no problems. This also comes with a nice little folding shovel which seems well made and works well.
To summarise, this met all of my expectations and I'm totally satisfied with my purchase.
