Metal Detector GC-1065

I have wanted to try a metal detector for years, and I finally decided to get one a couple of months ago. I chose this one because it seemed like a good intermediate one to start out with and would be easy to learn with. I have had a blast getting out with this thing and finding all kinds of stuff. While I haven't found anything worth a fortune yet, I have found a lot of interesting things including old bottles/jars with metal lids, about .30 cents worth of change, a silver spoon, an old toy motorcycle, and my brother's favorite childhood toy car that he lost when he was young. I was happy to be able to return that to him, even if it wasn't in great shape after being in the ground for 25+ years. This thing works great, and I highly reccommend it to anyone who wants to learn metal detecting. It is easy to setup and use, and it is very lightweight. It also comes with a handy little folding shovel and a bag to keep it in when packed up. Buy it! You won't regret it!

We've had this metal detector for less than 10 days, but so far it fills my expectations. I purchased this item specifically to look for a few hand tool, I think I lost in the woods behind my home and as a bonus to find the boundary markers on our property line. So far, I've found only about 2-3 lbs. of buried rusted junk, but I'm hopeful my tools, which should just be under some fallen leaves will show up! I like that the detector is so lightweight and only uses one 9V battery, which seems to last pretty well with moderate use, so far. Hopefully, it will prove to be durable as well as fairly accurate for a detector in this price range. Learning curve has been very easy for this senior citizen as well.

Works okay for things close to the surface. Nice for beginners or kids.

I am a senior (over 65) female and this metal detector was a cinch for me to put together and use. It is very lightweight and comfortable as it cushions around my arm. I let 2 grandchildren (ages 7 and 5) use it today and they had no problem carrying it and using it properly. We made a million dollars worth of memories today for less than $60 (my cost of this metal detector). The kids will never forget the fun they had with us going metal detecting today. Would buy this product again in a skinny minute. Thank you Ricomax for a great product.

It is easy to use ! I wish it folded down more into a smaller bag . Rings a lot when noting is there making it confusing to know if you where on something or not . Recommend doing research and watching videos on different types of metal detectors and then making a educated purchase .

This metal detector is pretty easy to handle and find things with. Found quite a few things at my parents house. Don't forget about the batteries though! It's very nice for my first metal detector.

I got this for my son and I to use when we go on adventures. Theres a lot of woods and rivers nearby that we hike around and it's been great at finding treasures around the area! Easy to use and understand, lightweight, and all in all its been very fun and reasonably priced.

At the end of the day, you can spend anywhere between $100 to $1500 on a metal detector. Those high-end models would be worth it if I were doing this as a serious hobby. For me, I just bought it for two purposes. I needed to find a property marker stake buried under asphalt. And I wanted to make sure there were no nails left in the yard after working on my fence. It accomplished both with no issues. In fact, it found some old metal junk that I suspect has been buried in yard for decades. This is part of the problem though. An expensive machine would give you much greater details about what kind of metal you are looking at and more precisely where it is. This is really quite simpler. It will just tell you that there is metal down there somewhere. It is slightly adjustable in that area and I suspect with some practice, I could get better at learning what it is telling me. That said, I bought it for limited use and it met my needs. If you are looking to start a new hobby, this will either make you want to pick up metal detecting and get a better one, or it will convince you you don't really want to and at least you didn't spend much. For those of us just needing one for household usage, it works perfect.
