This lightweight metal detector is a great way for young explorers to discover common metal objects. Featuring a sensitivity and volume control, the detector emits a beeping sound when close to metal, and the flashing indicator lights speed up and change colour.
Requires 1x 9V battery, not included.

Big disappointment. Toy faulty
Big disappointment because the toy is faulty and does not work. I tried to report it to "Bright Minds" but following a telephone comunication I was expecting an e mail that has not materialised so far

Seems good but not yet opened. Xmas gift
Looks good, bought one each for twin 9 year old grandchildren for Christmas

Don’t know
It was a gift for my granddaughter for November so I can’t comment now.

Not fit for purpose
My son is not particularly tall and would have to stoop to use this, it's more like the size for a 4-5-year-old, not 8+. Also, it does not work, many metals go undetected by this and it has to be held over an item at very close range (1-2 cm) for at least 5-10 seconds before it even starts to beep. Absolutely useless and they should not be selling this. I have asked for a refund, it was bought as a gift. We will wait and see if they deliver for such an inadequate product.

Digital metal detector
This was a an easter gift for my 10 yr old grandson. He is enjoying using it very much thank you.
