STEM Relic Hunter Adventure

I've always wanted a metal detector and I found this one and I must say I an very impressed with it! Took me a couple days to get the buttons and everything but it's so lightweight and easy to use! We have a 10 acre ranch and I've found some old old horseshoes, a old coin from 1908 and a ring! I love how it can fold up and fit in your backpack!

very good 👌

The metal detector can be used by both left-handed and right-handed people. Though it is very lightweight, if you are older and frail and still concerned about its weight on your arm, hold your elbow and arm in close to your side when using the metal detector, and you will find it weighs only a couple of ounces more than a walking stick or cane. When folded, is is slightly shorter than a tennis racket, and it will fit in a medium-size backpack, but with a very small backpack, a couple of inches of it may stick out at the top of the backpack - no worries, just close the backpack zipper on it as completely as possible. Before you zip up your backpack, throw in the 'National Geographic Sand Scoop and Shovel Accessories for Metal Detecting and Treasure Hunting, a bottle of water, and your cell phone, then put on your hat, and you are ready to go. If you like, take along a notebook to use as a diary for writing down the dates, locations, and what you find.

Namibian nickel plated steel coins e.g. 5,10 & 50 cent ring up as iron while brass coins e.g. $1, $5, $10 coins are in the range of rings and high value coins. It is advisable to search everything. The machine work well in our arid, dry hard soil. I love this metal detector.

We’ve only had a chance to use the detector a couple of times so far, but works really well. A screwdriver and an earring were among the more interesting things we found, just in our garden!

The detector is very easy to use. There are just a few buttons to toggle the sensitivity level, volume, and different kinds of metals to target. It can supposedly tell the difference between metals, but we’ve just dug up everything so far.

The length can be easily adjusted for any kid or adult, and it folds down to a very compact size. It feels pretty sturdy even though its mostly plastic, but it is very light because of that. It requires AA batteries, and even after a few hours of use, the battery indicator is still showing as full.

The instructions also mention that the coil is waterproof, so it’ll be great to take to the beach once it warms up a bit!
