THE GIFT IS THE ADVENTURE

Even a penny feels like a discovery

Give your curious kid a mission: find the coins you have hidden in the grass. Help them learn the sweep and signal, then move the hiding spots for a whole new hunt.

ONE BUTTON TO GET GOING

The puppy gives them a signal to follow

Switch it on and sweep slowly. When the detector picks up metal, it beeps and shows bone icons on the puppy display. They can watch the signal change as they move the coil.

MADE FOR AGES 3+

Sized for the kid holding it

Adjust the shaft from 27.5 to 37.8 inches for a comfortable fit. The waterproof search coil brings the hunt to sandy beach days, too. Keep the display and handle dry.

Best present ever!

I got this for my great nephew for his birthday. We buried coins outside and it was the ONLY present that he played with the whole day!! My niece called me the next day and said he was outside the next morning at 7am to look for more treasures.

Great beginner metal detector

I got this for my son for Christmas and I’m pretty impressed with it. It’s very simple and straightforward, which makes it a perfect beginner tool for him to learn how to find things. The quality is good and it has held up well so far as we’ve been practicing taking care of it.

Great gift for young treasure hunters!

I gave this to my nine year old nephew for Christmas, and he loves it! He found buried treasure (a spoon,) moments after his father easily assembled it. It is easy for a nine year old to use, and the quality is good enough to introduce him to the hobby.

Fun Detector

Our little dude loves his detector! Not quite as sensitive as one would hope but still really fun for him - and fun is the name of the game. Can’t wait to take him to the beach with it.

Good for young kids

Fun and works well! Good for young kids (not super sturdy but does its job). My daughter took it out and found coins immediately. The two younger kids took turns around the farm looking for anything they could find. Definitely a fun way to get the kids out of the house and exploring.
