DR.TEK Metal Detector for Kids arrived well-packed. This is really fantastic for kids and works very well. Battery is included in the pavkage. It is waterproof and has an LCD screen. My nephew is busy with it and carries it all the time. Great fun for kids and it can be nice gift for kids. Good value for money.
Definitely a hit in our house we looked out our adult metal detector from years ago and went off to search for treasures.
It is easy to use it’s child friendly. It has an LCD screen that lights up when you locate something. It’s waterproof definitely a plus as we like beach hunting so you don’t need to worry when they search the rock pools. It’s colourful and reasonable priced gift for any youngster. Good value for money. Great starter to lead onto other detectors gets kids outside as well as it’s exciting to find stuff
This is a bit of a basic metal detector but for kids it’s absolutely fantastic. You can hide things in the garden and it will find them as long as they’re metal of course. The quality is actually pretty good and it’s easy to use for the kids. Very happy
This is a fantastic toy. We try and keep the kids out in the better weather trying to stimulate them and get them interacting with their surroundings. We babysit a lot and this is a great way to keep the older ones occupied. We buried things in the garden for them including their pocket money. Basically making a treasure trail with simple clues leading to the next item. Gets them thinking and looking. Worth the money and then some.
I thought I’d get this as something different for the kids to play with.
They love it, they think they’re going to find buried treasure everywhere.
We’ve only used it in our garden, family members’ gardens and once at the beach.
It has a fun child-friendly LCD screen and their faces light up every time it goes off – like they’re about to find out they won the lottery. It’s usually a can lid, but we did find a penny – so this thing is starting to pay for itself.
It is a fun toy for getting kids to interact in the outside world – away from tablets and TVs.
My brother in law has recently got me into metal detecting something I thought id never see myself doing but its honestly so much fun!
My little nephew comes along with us and entertains himself searching around in the river bed or professionally securing our admittedly poor finds but now he can get stuck in too with his very own detector!
While it lacks in many areas compared to our adult detectors, it does register that there is an object in the ground, you just wont have any hints or clues as to what it is. The small screen is creatively designed to be more entertaining for kids too which is a nice touch.
Its so enjoyable to see the younger ones also get to join in on this fun little hobby! Just for that alone I’d highly recommended this product for any young budding metal detectors!
We had a play with this at the weekend. I wasn’t expecting it to be much use as a toy, but it does a good job at finding metals. I let my nephew in the garden and we found a couple of metal objects but we are looking forward to taking on the common or beach. It is easy to use, the pole is adjustable so can grow with your child. Build quality is okay and it is lightweight. The screen shows bones on the screen to show strength. there is no discreet option to sort metal types but as a fun metal detector, it did a good job and is ideal for a kids first metal detector toy.
Now this metal detector has really surprised me but in a good way.
A Victorian penny found at a depth of 5″ is testament to the capability this dectector has to offer. While it offers no discrimination between different conductive targets, it does however register that there is “something” in the ground and for newcomers in the hobby, an opportunity to dig knowing there is something under the surface.
The description suggests a maximum depth of 4″ yet I found this Victorian penny at a depth of 5″ so the max depth will vary and if the ground is wet, you will find objects a bit deeper.
This really does work a treat and for the asking price vs capability this is perfect for an aspiring “youngster” or even an adult (though it is a little short for most adults).
Highly recommended
You want to get your child off the Gameboy, Nintendo Switch or Sony Play Station then get them one of these. Metal detecting can be very lucrative and there was even a TV series ‘The Detectorists’ that might have sparked their interest. Get a map with a few Roman roads on it, check out the aerial view on Google and you will be able to see it on the ground and if there is public access (they are often public rights of way along old Roman roads) get out there in the fresh air and find stuff. Don’y live in the countryside but near the sea then get them to a beach- it’s amazing how much jewellery and coinage is lost by beach-goers. They will find it exhilerating and soon want a better detector. This one is good enough for starter and even comes with a trowel and sieve
