National Geographic PRO Series Metal Detector - Ultimate Treasure Hunter with Pinpointer, Large Waterproof 10" Coil - Lightweight and Collapsible for Easy Travel (Amazon Exclusive)

I used a friends same detector, & it worked great for what I needed it for, so I ordered my own. It's all I need.

The media could not be loaded. Pinpoint feature works perfectly. First time user and we found about 15 things in 2 hours at the local park. Nothing much of value but still good to get familiarized with this product. The type of metal is not accurate. I would still dig everything because older jewelry and items are typically made from not so high value metals. we would scan and then use the pinpoint. I would set the detector down and then dig a hole around the detector. Then we would flip the grass lid up and dig straight down and every time the item was right in the hole. The depth feature Works accurately things that were on the surface or about 2-4 in down would show up as one bar. And if something was right on the surface it would just make the really loud tone consistently and show the one bar . Things that were about 4 to 8in down would show up as two bars.. and things that were eight inches or deeper would show up as three bars. That was with the sensitivity at 1. I'm sure this detector would detect things a lot deeper than the 12in if your sensitivity was adjusted higher up. I noticed this thing dinging like crazy whenever we would turn up the sensitivity so we just left it at 1 to originally find things. If it would ding and then I didn't hear the ding again I would turn it up to 2 and skin again and it would find the item ....then I would use the pinpoint feature until it got to its highest tone and then set the detector down and dig around it. So I would say this thing is very very accurate finding items and pinpointing the location. The depth is also accurate as well I would say 1 bar for about every 4 in . The tones work correctly as far as telling you how close to the surface something is as well it makes like a doorbell ding dong sound very loudly if something is right on top. I will upload a video and photos later of our fine and to show the features and how accurate this thing is. The only thing I found to not be accurate was it's deciphering the value or type of metal. We dug up saying said it said we're High value items or coins and it ended up being a crinkle chunk of aluminum or tin from roof material...or old railroad tie and nails . Also we found in early 1900 electrical fuse that had the ceramic or porcelain top with a mason jar type lid..that dinged as high value... either way I have not used to discrimination mode because I would like to dig up everything so this thing works great for what I need it for.

Got this to find the property markers around one of my houses. They drive rebar in the ground at the corners of lots here. It worked like a charm - a heck of a lot cheaper than paying for a survey. I also used it at the beach and found a kid's toy truck and a rather large diamond earing. The pinpointing mode works pretty well, but I found the metal type discriminator to be somewhat inaccurate. It would show iron / junk but upon digging it was coins.Giving 4 stars because the balance on this causes your arm to wear out quickly when scanning a large area. I've had others before that weren't as tiring to use. Also the arm extension piece seems cheap.

I bought this detector 4 years ago. It's my first detector and it's still going strong. I find all kinds of things with it. mostly bottle caps and tent poles. I Still haven't find a diamond ring. The coolest find so far, is a piece of iron from a ship wreck. I've tried many other budget detectors and this one is still the best. The pin point feature is great, you don't know how much of a luxury it is. until you use detects without it. This detector is based on the minelabs gofind models.

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!

Really enjoyed this at the beach with the grand kids. We actually found a money clip about 6 inches deep in the sand with 68 dollars in it. We felt like Pirate treasure hunters. Worked very well. Easy to adjust for different size searchers. Great family fun.

Our son really wanted this as a gift, but I’m still trying to determine if it actually works. It doesn’t seem to have any accuracy at all. I’ve tried to put coins and other metal items on the ground, then scan for them and the detector just randomly beeps…whether you have it over the item or not.Not recommended.
