Review: Good quality metal detector. - I have used on the beach and in fields, works great.
Review: Great machine - My old waterproof metal detector broke which was from a different company and after a lot of research, I decided to get this one. So far it has been amazing! No complaints. Works great in fresh water. I did buy the smaller coil and waterproof headphones separately, as those are not included. Can also purchase wireless headphones which is a great option for dry land detecting. Found 3 rings so far with it and a lot of coins.
