I hope it works perfectly

These get slammed on the Reddit metal detector sub for being sub-par with the better metal detectors. That's fine. It's not a high-end machine. But it's a good beginner's machine. Accurate enough, dependable enough, easy to assemble and start using. You take it out, you find stuff. It takes 2 9 volt batteries, so if 9 volt isn't your thing, look elsewhere. I went ahead and got a 9 volt recharger and some extras.I will say this: my 2 daughters and I have a blast taking this thing out "treasure hunting," along with a pinpointer. They are absolutely thrilled when it beeps and can't wait to do what kids love to do -- dig. The 9 year old gets an orange pin pointer, the 5-year old gets a magnet and a spoon (I know, not conducive to proper metal detecting) and daddy get this thing and both a big shovel and the smaller shove that comes with this set (which is a heavy duty little shovel, btw). Then we all go to town -- team building, disussing what metals are -- steel vs gold/silver, magnetic, etc., Hoping to find "fossils" and "treasure," we treasure by searching and finding whatever we find.Easy assembly, easy to use. Great entry level machine. Will you outgrow it? I hope so. I hope this opens up new possibilities and dreams for anyone who uses it. But it's a good starter within this price range to see if you (or you littles) catch the treasure-hunting bug.

My husband loves this, it finds a kinds of metals and alerts you of that metal . It is a nice step up fro. The old radio shack version. Great product

Works good

I bought this detector as a gift for my father. When he turned it on, he was so happy that we were able to get the probe working in a matter of minutes. Sensitive enough, it's very easy to use.

Product is easy to use and durable.

This was the perfect gift for my son and he absolutely loves it! Seems to work great!

Very easy to put together. Everything seems to be working correctly. Now I've got to use it.

My husband as been wanting a metal detector for years more so since we took over the family farm that is over 150 yrs old. We've found so many, many things just with bringing in the tractor to turn up the dirt in the garden. So this year for one of his Christmas gifts and after looking at many different styles and price points decided on this one and so glad I did. He absolutely loved it!!

ASSEMBLE was a bit tedious . Got shafted while trying to align.
