This worked great for the first day or two, then it stopped beeping. However, when it was working, it was great for my son. He had asked for it for Christmas. He was disappointed after it quit working after just a couple of days, but the exchange process was very easy when I took this back to the store.

This was a gift for two of my grandson's. They are really thrilled with the performance; and I was relatively happy with the cost of the product. If I were not restricted by fixed income I would buy another one immediately for the 11 year old grandson I am raising at the moment. I do not believe anyone would/will be disappointed if the purchase the metal detector.

This is a great buy for the money. Bought for gift and the person says it's the best metal detector they have ever used. My husband tried it out and said it was dead on! If your looking for a good metal detector and don't want to break the bank grab this one. You wont be disappointed.

I found $5 dollars in quarters in my front yard. I was surprised. It's a little cold now, but will definitely search the entire yard. I went to a few other locations, and found a lot of other stuff. The discriminator takes a little adjusting to. The noises it makes to differentiate between trash, and coins or other metal is a little rusty. But, every time it says there is metal, there is metal. I found pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters so far. I actually worked out too. Took a shovel, and dug for a long time, hours at a time. Some days I only found 6 cents, others a dollar. It's not meant to find treasure, but it's great for a hobby. If someone had said go dig, go workout for 3 hours, I wouldn't do it. If someone said go metal detect with this metal detector, I would... Whoever buys it, have fun. Don't get frustrated if you don't find too much stuff at first. I realized that the earth is really just a lot of dirt... But with a little precious metal in it. Have fun!!

This is a great metal detector for someone who just started "scouting for treasures". I bought it for my 10 year old son. He had a great time hunting for tresures with his friends. It is very light weight & has an adjustable arm. Great for the price. Now, all my friends are interested in obtaining one.

The VLF Metal Detector helped me find in 2 minutes a survey pin that a survey company was going to charge $500 to find. The detector was easy to assemble and use.

I looked around and found this highly rated metal detector for sale at wal-mart for 50% less than other stores ... I put it together in one minute and started finding stuff in the back yard .. I was pleased ! It actually makes different sounds for different metals like it was supposed to by the ad. I only paid $45 ... I don't see how one that cost $400 would be any better !!!

bought for my kids, they have only used it once so far, it was very easy for them to use. So far they found some loose change. The only problem we have had is I think it might be picking up pipes or something underground, as they dug 8-10 in. holes and fornd nothing, so would reccomend for use where there is no underground pipes ect. Trash eliminater is pretty helpful as well.

It was easy to assemble. Even with the settings on the highest for trash, it still beeped a lot. I was looking for a lost earring. Did not find it.
