Bounty Hunter Junior T.I.D. Metal Detector for Kids, Easy to Use, Lightweight, Comfortable Handle, Ergonomic Design, Compact, 3 Category Target IDs to Eliminate Unwanted Items

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!

I purchased this for my 10 year old, treasure seeking son for Christmas. Due to our lack of more than a few inches of snow this year we were able to get it outside the day after Christmas. Easy to use, basic and there is no question when it finds something it likes. It's taken us to a depth of about 8 inches beneath packed soil so far with no trouble. That particular find was a disinigrating metal bucket. None of our finds have been lucrative, but curious nonetheless and it's gotten my son and I out in the cold 3 times in the 5 days he's had it. I MAY be more excited about it than he is.So far we've combed a lake beach under 3 inches of snow using a bread sack closed with a twist tie over the detector, small portions of our yard and the ditch along our street. Even when we just end up finding a rusty nail, hearing that beep and digging our way towards a mystery object is quite fun and a bit addictive. My mind is already searching for other locations to check.As far as comfort and ease of use I'd rate high. Its lightweight and while my son did say his arm began to hurt after awhile, it was just fine for me. The arm brace eliminates wrist strain. The extendable body has quite a range and adjusts well for adults or kids.I typically don't write reviews until I've had something for awhile, but I haven't had this much fun with something I bought online for quite awhile. It may not do anything fancy like decipher between types of metals with precision but, for a 10 year old, I consider it a great buy. When asking my son to stay out a little longer today to hunt for treasure he said, "Mom, you're acting like more of a kid than me." I reminded him there is no age limit on this device!

It works. Everyone likes the feel of a premium item, the rigidity, weight. It allows you to both trust and love a product. This product works, but has neither of those qualities. When I first opened this product, I thought "oh, yeah this is junk"; however, considering the prices that metal detectors can reach, this seems somewhat fair. I am more of an amateur when it comes to metal detectors, so the only commentary I can honestly put out there is that this is an cheap, effective, and easy to use product, but not very durable.

I do not write product reviews that much as most of the time I don't have any thing special to say about them. However this Bounty Hunter metal detector is something I would recommend anyone to have in their home, because without it, I would have lost my wedding ring. The product cost was nearly $50 and I paid like $16 for express delivery. Let me tell the background of what I lost and how I lost it. It will give you an idea how useful this metal detector is.Yesterday we had a picnic organized by my workplace colleges. One of the events was to play volleyball. The Volleyball court was full of grass and the grass was think and about 4 inches high. I played few shots and suddenly realized that my wedding ring was gone. I never asked from my wife how much it cost to her, but I knew that it is an expensive ring made from Platinum,gold and 5 diamonds. Although we had about 20 people who spent reasonable amount of time to search in the ground for it, we failed to locate it. The grass was little bit wet too due to previous days rain.One of the friends suggested about the metal detector. I tried to buy it from several shops, but they did not have in house. I gave up the ring and came home. But I thought that I would buy a metal detector and make a last attempt. I searched amazon for a suitable product. Based on the description and price, I felt that this has to be simple and good enough. Even if it doesn't work, it will be only $50. If I find it , I will get my $3500 (and priceless sentimental value) ring back. I ordered it from amazon to be delivered from express delivery. The order was placed at around 7:30 PM yesterday and the product arrived at my door steps at around noon today. It gave me few hours before sun set to do the search. I noticed that the sky had overcast conditions which means that I am going to have a rain in the week end. Initially it gave me few false alarms for other metal objects like a coin which was hidden under grass. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to search in that area. Then I suddenly heard the beep. I wasn't sure, I moved grass back and forth and then saw my ring. It had been in the volleyball court in my office for nearly 24 hours. Without this metal detector, I wouldn't have located it. It was a great relief for me because I cannot buy back my lost wedding ring. Only that I have to find it. It was possible because amazon delivered the product on time and the product is an excellent product. I would strongly recommend everyone to buy this product. And you Amazon are Amazing!!!.
