| Features:
| • | Pay attention to last photo in the above picture gallery. Search Coil need to be unfolded for testing or usage. Otherwise (in folded position), it will BEEP CONSTANTLY since Search Coil is testing the metal rod. 1. Adjust the dial switch away from the OFF position till the LED indicator lights and a beep sound is heard. 2. Rotate the dial switch backward slightly till the beep sound just disappears - this is the key point to adjust the metal detector into the most sensitive status. | | • | Buzzer sounds and LED lights when metal is detected. Sensitivity: > 8 inch (for a US quarter). It means if the quarter is buried within 8 inches from ground, you can find it. | | • | 6.5 inch waterproof search coil (This is one of few models on the market under $50 that comes with a waterproof search coil.) | | • | Shaft extends from 23" to 34 1/2", Adjustable stem for comfortable use. Locates metals such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, platinum and more. Only 1.5 lbs. Requires one 9V battery (included). | | • | If you want a higher model without breaking your budget, you can search B002CHZ5SQ in top search box. That model with much better feature is only $44.99. |

Product Description
If you want a higher model without breaking your budget, you can search B002CHZ5SQ in top search box. That model with much better feature is only $44.99. The HP-1002 model has been very popular as a promotional gift. It is very easy to use. Search the area, listen to the sound or watch the indicator lamp. If you would like to try treasure hunting without spending a lot of money, this is a perfect model. This is also a "unique" toy for kids who want to follow their parents in treasure hunting. Many customers told us their children found some surprising "treasures" using this basic metal detector.

 entry level metal detector with GREAT price July 17, 2007

Treasure hunting has become more and more popular these days. Metal detectors vary from a few bucks to thousand dollars. I bought several metal detectors priced below 50 bucks and this is the only model I recommend. This is not a toy. It's a good start if you want to try and decide whether treasure hunting is right for you.

The title says it all. It's not a fancy metal detector for serious enthusiasts. It's just a simple metal detector for kids to develop an interst in the hobby. I purchased three for my children along with a couple of magazines geared toward this type of hobby for Christmas and it got them interested. They used it to find stuff buried in the backyard. (It helps if you bury a few coins before you give them the detectors). For the $30 price I paid I'm pretty happy. It will keep them busy on the beach this coming Summer. The units work pretty well and they're simple to use. Magazines geared toward the hobby will steer more serious hobbyists toward the better high end equipment but if you don't want to spend thousands of dollars just to find out if you really enjoy doing this, I think this unit is a great way to start. The kids had fun outdoors in the fresh air, which, in my opinion, beats hanging out indoors in front of the computer or TV anyday. Just my humble opinion. I recommend lithium batteries, which are more expensive but last longer.

This is the only model cost less than $20 but comes with waterproof searching coil. I used to doubt the quality and durability. I guess I am wrong. It is so compact and convenient. I take it with me when I travel. One time, I found a diamond ring along the beach. I know it was luck but the metal detector did find it.

I thought this was a toy for kids. My son used it in the metro park and found several gold coins. I never thought there were any coins in the park. I didn't think this basic metal detector could detect the coins either.

I bought this product after reading another review that said he found a ring with it. That is exactly what I intended on using it for. Some friends and I were haveing a mud fight in some very thick mud and my ring slipped off. I bought this about two days after that and we found my ring with it even after it had rained. So I am very pleased that I got one of the cheapest products and saved about $180 by findng my ring.
