Quick Silver Metal Detector for Adults & Kids, LCD Display, 8" Waterproof Coil, Target ID, Sensitivity Control, Bonus Pinpointer Included, Easy Treasure Hunting, Made in USA

I love this metal detector. It was simple to setup, very accurate & the pin pointer is super helpful. The object reject is my favorite feature, as I live in an area with lots of buried junk. Lightweight, so would be good for kids or elderly as well. And I actually like the loud beeps, it's makes for a more exciting hunt. The pin pointer works at ab 1/2" away from the object, but it's more helpful than not. The battery cover does fall off easy, but can be taped.

Let me start by saying this was a gift for my dad. Hes been wanting a metal detector for as long as I remember. My mom and I did some collaborating and I purchased the Quick Silver on Amazon. My dad opened the package and was thrilled, he immediately opened the box and pulled the contents out...much like a kid on Christmas. He snapped the 3-4 pieces together in just a few minutes. The first thing he mentioned was the extremely light weight of the unit, its literally weightless in your hand. Overall the fully assembled unit is very sturdy and feels durable yet light in your hand, which will come in handy for those long days of hunting. We popped in the 2-9volt batteries (not included) and headed outside. My parents have a fairly large yard, and within seconds we were beeping and locating items! We agreed since it was getting late and the mosquitoes were terrible it would just be a test to get a feel for it, but after the first "detection" of course the shovel came out. The screen was reading the first depth indicator, and detecting coins. We dug out a pop can sized hole maybe about 3 inches deep and wow, it was an old dime! This answered our question about the accuracy, its terrific! We did one more spot, and after deep digging we came up with...and old pull tab off a can, funny thing is even the instruction book tells us this is the biggest annoyance found by metal detectors. All and all I must say this thing is terrific, lots of fun and a reward for your work. Now your probably asking whats the one major problem I mention in my review title? Well that would have to be my mom getting mad that dads out turning the back yard into swiss cheese! I see this purchase being very much worth the money. I would highly recommend this product!

The metal detector is easy to operate and accurate. I thought this was a great deal for the money for both items. I received the metal detector and pin pointer along with other accessories I ordered. I read all the instructions and tested the detector and pin pointer at home. Both items worked fine. In the field on the first discovery with the detector I attempted to use the pin pointer, which is why I bought this package deal, failed to operate correctly. I was not a happy camper. I notified Amazon who immediately sent me a total replacement set. I shipped the old one back and the new pin pointer was defective as well. With great frustration I again contacted Amazon. I was offered a gift card for $35 to use towards another pin pointer of my choice from a customer service rep who I could hardly understand. I thought this was great!!! Come to find out the gift card could not be applied to any of the pin pointers on Amazon due to the fact that they had to be a product solely sold and shipped by Amazon, which none of them are! So I ended up spending another $40 out of my pocket on another pin pointer.

Just got it a couple of hours ago and we already found several toy cars and even some coins in the backyard including an old 1940 mercury dime. The pinpointer works fine within an inch or less. I already ordered another one for my mother as a BD present who is turning 80 this weekend and wanted one that is easy and lightweight. It isn't the top of the line model but does what it needs to at a cheap price. If you are thinking about getting into the hobby it is an inexpensive initiation model. Not to mention you get a pinpointer too that is adequate. Also on the positive side it won't detect your utilities that are "supposed" to be at 12 inches down or more. (We did find an old not used Comcast line near the house that was only 2 inches down)

This is my first time dwelling into the amusing world of metal detecting, so this Bounty Hunter Quick Silver w/pin pointer was my first detector. First, the packaging was over packaged. I tore away at the first box only to realize there was another box. So I eagerly tear away at that box only to realize that there was yet another box! Finally, after what seemed like trying to break a safe, I got to the Quicksilver. Packaging aside, this is a great detector. I have had a few days to use it around my yard, and I found a handful of items so far. A few nails, 2 dimes, a penny, a dog license tag from the year 2000, and some foil. I plan on taking it to a local park soon in hopes of finding more valuable items. It came with a pin pointer, which is a must for this type of detector, it's pretty hard to find anything otherwise. Plus from doing some pricing, the pin pointer it comes with costs an additional $30 bucks if you were to buy it separate. As for the durability, it seems to be pretty durable. I have dropped it once or twice already, and it didn't do any damage to the unit. It's also pretty light. As for the few people saying their arm gets tired after a while, they must have very week arms. At the most, this unit probably weighs two pounds or less, and my arm has never gotten tired. Overall, it's a great detector if you are starting out on a budget, and who knows, maybe it will make me rich one day!

I lost my wedding ring in our yard when I was working out there about 6 weeks ago as it was hurting me so I took it off. When I went inside I picked up the ring and a bunch of other stuff. Later that day I realized I didn't have my ring. We looked and looked in the yard with no luck. I got my husband this metal detector as a Christmas gift since he has always wanted one and he found my ring within 15 minutes! Already paid for itself by finding my missing ring. Now to use it for adventures.

This was 100 year old 1921 Morgan silver dollar was found with my Bounty Hunter (Quick Silver) metal detector. For the price you cannot beat the detection depth, and quality. I also did some bench testing on it with various metals: copper, silver, bronze, aluminum, gold, and iron. The gold test it didn't do to well, but I didn't mind that as I was aware I wasn't purchasing a $1,000 gold nugget detector. All the other metals it picked up great, and I found it had a depth of detection from 6" to 12" depending on the size of the target in the ground. At beaches I do get some false targets at times, because of black sand and rocks with high iron, I kick the sensitivity down a bit, and then re-go-over the area the same spot, see if i still have a signal. I have also found at highly mineralized beaches I sometimes turn the iron off. That does help. Besides that, light weight machine, east to use, easy to understand. You will need the headphone adapter piece to go from 1/4" size jack down to standard MP3/cell phone size. You can order the adapter jack on Amazon. You will want headphones with a volume control, as the detector doesn't have a volume up/down control. Get your self some knee-pads for digging, a scoop for sand if you are on a beach, and make sure you have a good digging tool, and get yourself a pin-pointer. It does help. The entire machine is not waterproof, don't submerge it in water. It takes two 9 volt batteries. It is a single frequency detector, multi frequency ones are a lot more expensive. For the price, it is a great detector!

the bounty hunter quick silver is not a great machine after paying over £140 pounds for it its not worth the money this item dose not detect much at all when using in the field this detector only really picks up iron and has a major beep off if the grass or soil is damp , also this machine dose not work very well on dry sand often just beeps at nothing at any sensitivity level and gives false readings all day long, even with trouble shooting page that it comes with detector dose not perform the way it should for £140 pounds worth u can detect more with the pin pointer that comes supplied with this item then you can with the actual detector itself, on the brighter side the detector is lovely and light and does look quite nice other then that it is completely useless..

Great detector for the price

This is a decent product made in the USA...detects metals at least 10 inches even on low setting....

Can't wait to hunt for treasure.
