Customer Reviews for VEVOR Metal Detector Waterproof Disc Metal detectors Underwater Underground high Accuracy LCD Display Metal Detector for Adults and Children Headphone Automatic Detector (Yellow 3010)

Came on time small package easy to fold up perfect gift!

It's very good for the price. It detects metals in the deep soil.

Looks nice and works well.

My 8 yr old grandson got this for Christmas and he loves it. Perfect with adjustable height and comes will all he needs to dig and find his treasure.

Returned only because this was for a child and would have been too hard for him to use. But for an adult would have been perfect!

Still trying to figure out

Works great! Would recommend :)

I remember as a kid wanting a metal detector. And I have a vague recollection of actually using one when I was about 10 years old. It belonged to a friend of mine. I don't remember much about it other than how it made me feel. It was like someone gave me a treasure map and said, "Go find the treasure." I was excited at the idea that maybe I was going to find something worth thousands of dollars. No, hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was my destiny! Hehe. Well, that's what I felt when I was a kid holding that thing for the first time.

As for the educational value of this, it's phenomenal. The kids learn about electro-magnetic fields and metals. They also dig up pieces of history and try to research what it is they've found. And poking around nature, they get to see the natural world, which is something a lot of kids don't do these days.

Actually, for older teenage kids and adults, there's yet another educational level to this, which I didn't even know about until I saw something on TV about it. Apparently there are "historical" treasure hunters out there. They learn about historical places that used to exist but are now just uninhabited wilderness or maybe public parks and such. They're not historically famous places like Valley Forge or something. Those places don't let you do any metal detecting, I don't think. But at these non-famous places, you can use your metal detector and dig all you want. Since they're obscure places, they may not have already been gone over by others with metal detectors yet. And that means you can sometimes find really interesting things.
