Bounty Hunter Gold Digger Metal Detector for Kids with Trash Elimination and Sensitivity Controls – Lightweight Design for Coins, Relics, Jewelry, and Gold Detection

These metal detectors worked great ands are so much fun to use! They quickly find metal treasures that are buried under the surface! Be sure to have a little gardening shovel on hand and a bucket to hold your treasures! Great activity for the whole family enjoying time outdoors or while on a camping trip! The metal detectors were accurate, sturdy, and simple to operate!

This detector gives my minelab equinox a run for its money. Sure it doesn't go as deep, or provide a display telling you what you might be looking at. But it more than makes up for it in ease of use, and ease of learning. My friend took this thing out and found coins all over the place, and he learned quick enough to identify targets by the tone. Frequently he would be digging coins at a rate much faster than me. In fairness, I"m still learning the minelab, but this little detector is absolutely amazing. And its an excellent learning machine, PLUS it detects gold like a hound dog finds raccoons. I wouldn't buy any other machine for a beginner to learn on. It finds things, and that's what it's all about. Plus its lite weight and simplicity makes it a lot of fun to use. Get one, the price is so low you will not find another detector that can do what this does for anywhere near the money. I speak from years of experience detecting with many brands. It's not a toy, it's capable of finding real gold, and real coins. If you're new to detecting get this one and you will never be sorry when you upgrade. Or just keep it for the kids or the beach or park..Side note: We were detecting a yard where a family of 11 kids lived and played and they lost money all over the place. The ground is terrible with rocks and trash too. Hard to dig, but it still delivered the goods and lots of fun. ...

I purchased this metal detector for my 6 year old son. It is very accurate and detailed in pointing you in the right direction of the desired material being searched for. The only downfall is that the plastic fasteners are easy to break if just a little too much tightness is applied to them. I was able to fix it with tape, but still disappointing. Very easy to use and a set of batteries last for many uses. As stated above it performs very well and fits comfortably in your hand.

As expected

I purchased this metal detector for myself and my BF. We've both never metal detected before as a hobby, but were interested in trying it out. We saw this Bounty Hunter "Gold Digger" model on Amazon for a fair price, and figured why not give it a go!Well, the unit is very user freindly! It's very easy to put together. It should take only about 10 minutes following the directions that come with the item. It simply operates using two 9-volt batteries. If this is a gift, don't forget the batteries...or the whole excitement factor just went out the window,lol. Anyway, we've since taken it out into the wooods a maybe a handful of times so far, and for all intensive purposes..it does an ok job. We found a few coins, some rusty nails and such, and it pretty much does what it was built to do.As we did more research, however, we've since discovered that if this is going to be a new hobby for someone...A LOT of time and energy can be saved by moving up to the next price point ($200 or so). What I mean is some of the units in that higher price point have a little basic monitor on the front that can tell you what it is you've found...before you spend 15-30 minutes DIGGING and...DIGGING, just to come up with nasty rusted out tin can that is useless! Take my word for it, this "Gold Digger" model is...just ok for a beginner. Maybe great for a kid with lots of endless energy to burn digging a hundred holes a day every weekend. But, if it's for you, or an adult friend who is taking up Detectoring as a new and exciting hobby...pop for the higher end unit and you'll (he,she,mom,dad,pal) will have a much better time knowing that you're at least digging or sifting through loose sand for say a valuable coin...instead of some junk that someone should have put in a trash can 50 years ago!Happy relic hunting!!
