This is my first metal detector. I don’t know that I’ll make a hobby out of it. I mostly wanted to locate pipes in the back yard.
Having said that, it seems to be a decent unit. Of course, I haven’t tried a super duper detector, so I don’t know what I’m missing.
But, for example, I’ve found a dime down at 4 inches, at the transition between the driveway and grass. No need for ground balance and such. It’s automatic.
I’m learning the tones and, while I can’t tell you what I’m going to find given a certain tone, it does disc out iron, killing off a lot of trash. I’m now at the point that when it says something is there with disc set, it’s now more interesting to dig.
One thing that doesn’t seem very accurate is the pin pointing. Or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing. But I can get a definite signal at a definite spot, do the same orthogonally, lower the sens to define the spot better, dig the spot, only to find the signal has “moved” a few inches away. I eventually find what’s there, but it’s not always where it says it is. Makes for bigger holes. (Desert “soil” in Phoenix, AZ.)
I went to a park for fun. If you want to coin shoot, it does fine, especially considering coins from a party the night before will be on the surface. You don’t need a $500 unit for that.
For a first time unit, I can’t complain, especially considering the price. I read that Fisher is selling its F2 with two coils for $200 for December which sounds like a smoking deal. If you think you’re going to make a hobby out of m.d., maybe it would be better to spend the money toward that. Otherwise, for an occasional unit, this is fine.

Great idea for a gift for a youth. I wanted this unit to locate metal property markers and was very diasappointed in this product. I was unable to find the markers with this product and gave it to my grandchildren to play with. Ended up going to the sporting goods store and buying a different unit for a few extra dollars and it worked great. If you want something to use for a hobby spend a few extra bucks and buy a better unit.

I BOUGHT THIS METAL DETECTOR FOR MY HUSBAND… HE AND OUR FAMILY HAVE HAD FUN AND SUCCESS FINDING ALL SORTS OF THINGS WITH IT ON OUR FAMILY RANCH. IT WAS ONE OF THE LESS EXPENSIVE DETECTORS SO I WAS WORRIED ON HOW WELL IT WOULD BE ~ BUT I HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT. IT IS A GOOD VALUE.

Worst device I have ever seen
The device has no English manual, luckily I can read French. It has no real sensitivity setting other than ON and OFF.

The price is great, it worked great right out of the box. It is easy to figure out how to use it – I was out in the yard finding bits of metal, etc.

This metal detector is pretty good. It found items within a couple of inches below the ground. We bought it for our son-in-law but the grandkids had more fun with it!!
