Aneken GC1020

Easy to use, If you sweep across an area from different directions you can tell pretty much exactly where your target is, It's not like a Geiger counter or rf type sweeper that gets louder when closing in, just a single beep when you're close to a target. So far the accuracy isn't bad at all, Wich is really nice when it's letting you know your about to dig up likely sharp metal; nails, tin cans etc. It's been great for helping me clean up my yard. Small gold pieces don't read well deeper than 6-8 inches(I tested out of curiosity) but I find copper a foot deep often.(found an extension to my gas lines 15 feet from the house one foot deep, glad I was cautious.) It's nice and light, easy to strap on any pack ( camping, Beach, river fishing) and it has a nice extension range fit for just about anyone. I use it from my hands and knees for cleaning old construction debris, but it also extends comfortably standing at my 6 foot frame. For the price this is a great tool or toy! Yeah I let the kids play with it!

Batteries die kind of fast but it’s light weight, works, and my young siblings love it. Easy to hold and light weight. Also easy to assemble- comes with a shovel and compass which is cool

This metal detector works great! I’ve ordered a few different products from Aneken over the past year or so and all of them have lived up to the quality I have come to expect from them. This detector has a few different settings on it, from picking up any kind of metal, all the way to the specific metal like a nickel or gold. It’s super light weight, and has a strap to help hold it close to my arm that helps when using this for extended periods of time. It comes in a box in separate pieces but is super easy to put together or break down for storage if needed. I’ve used this thing a handful of times but haven’t had any luck finding anything good but it’s coming! The shovel that comes with it is an added bonus that makes it easy to dig up your find. If you’re looking for a basic metal detector, I’d check this one out.

Undecided as of now, I have not been able to use the Detector but for approx, 10 mins my yard. Adjust sensitivity, such as how deep and not sure what was making it Detect, but the Detector was hitting on something every two to three steps I would take in various spots of my yard, I live in a small rural town and used it in an area I know no wires were buried. Will update when I figure out how to dial it in better and take it to an actual field. I by no means am I giving a bad review nor saying that I dislike the product, I apologize to the company, as, they felt, I might have disliked and or unhappy with the metal detector, in whichbi received an email. I appalled them for being pro-active with their customers and hopefully within the Company.

I dont usually write reviews but I have too for this metal detector. It is awesome!! Easy to assemble clear instructions easy too use. Im new to treasure hunting and have been amazed by this product. First time out found a couple old quarters a old penny and a horse shoe nail aling with the normal junk. Today took it up by a old mining town found a old knife a hatchet and a railroad spike. The spike was 17 inches down and had small tree roots over it. The shovel is not of high quality but over all a great product. Id recomend for anyone who wanted one and im going to buy two more for my son and daughter.

First one had spring pin installed in wrong tube which was a monkey to extract and reinstall…battery connections fit so poorly they’re difficult to snap on and then unit would not turn on. Replacement sent quickly, same poor battery connection fit and would not turn on either. Responsive customer service but poor quality control.

This is a great metal detector! I don’t have many to compare it to, but it definitely detects metal, has a variety of settings (for example, can recognize and eliminate “junk” signals such as pop tops from soda cans), and can even specify the depth and type of metal (although have not been able to verify this, as I haven’t been lucky enough to find any gold coins... yet). A solid buy. The only downside is it’s a little heavy, but I’m not sure if that’s unique to this product, and it’s pretty well balanced when using the included wrist strap.

Beeps at pretty much everything. I got it to find my property pins but its not consistent when it comes to alerts. One time beeps like crazy, 5 seconds later same area nothing So after writing this review the company contacted me and said they were sorry I was not satisfied and offered a refund. When I said sure, they then sent an email asking if the money counter was dirty. When I responded to that email that I did not purchase a money counter and was replying to their refund email they sent a troubleshooting email. Have not heard back since. Very sketchy
