 I Love It -- It's PAID FOR ITSELF already!! July 16, 2010

I really enjoy metal detecting, I get to wander around the great outdoors, soak up a little sun, and get a little exercise -- never knowing what I may find. I have found coins and jewelry at the beach and this detector has PAID FOR ITSELF a few times over!!!!!!!!
I am an avid "Treasure" hunter and when I broke my old metal detector I thought I would buy a new detecter as a Father's Day gift to me. After reading the reviews on various sites, including here at Amazon, I decided to get this one. This one had a good price and had many of the features I was looking for.
I have used it many times and love it. It beeps clearly when the type of metal I am hunting is found. I think people sometimes get confused that metal detecting isn't like hunting for a radioactive object, constantly emitting detectable radiation, like "you are getting warmer or cooler", it beeps when it finds metal. You do need patience the first few times you use it, because you need to set the sensitivity to find the right descriminitation (the ability of the detector to differentiate metal types). Like anything, it gets easier to use as you get familiar with what you are doing.
I highly recommend this model!!
I FOUND MY WEDDING RING!!! July 21, 2010

After 11 Years I managed to lose my wedding ring at the beach last Sunday! I knew that I had to do something to find it, so a friend of mine suggested that I buy a metal detector. After looking around the web, I decided to purchase the Treasure Cove Fortune Finder Model TC-3020. The specs and features of the unit were great for the price in comparison to other brands and styles. I paid a little extra for expedited shipping, as I knew time was of the essence. I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived to me on Wednesday. That afternoon I put it together, it was super easy. The kids and I headed to the beach in hopes of finding my ring. I knew it was going to be a long shot, the beach is pretty popular and busy! I went to the general area where we were sitting and turned it on. At first, I had to calibrate the unit, according to the user manual. That was easy enough. I put on the earphones and started moving the detector over the sand. I immediatley got a tone and my son used the handy scoop to dig. His eyes lit up as it sifted the sand from the holes and he saw something shiny. It was a little girls metal hair clip! I was excited to know that the metal detector worked! We kept searching over the sand and it went off again. We scooped and this time it was a piece of foil - odd! By this time we were having fun and I was very hopeful! We kept scanning over the sand and it went off again. He scooped, sifted and THERE IT WAS.. MY wedding ring!!! :) We all jumped for joy!! Not only did I find my ring, but I think I found a new fun hobby and a great thing to do with the kids!!! I 100% recommend the Treasure Cove TC-3020 - it was so easy to use and worked extremely well for this mom!

I was thrilled to have purchased this metal detector. I have been doing this activity for years. This was by far the best detector for the money.
Wow this really works! July 27, 2010

I bought this for a family vacation that we were taking to the beach. I thought it would be an excellent source of entertainment for my little cousins and for my Aunts and Uncles who are all about finding some spare change. After hours of playing with this on the beach we found lots of surprising things and everyone in my family had a blast!
I would definitely reccommend this to anyone who's interested in finding hidden treasure.

I ordered two different metal detectors at the same time hoping that at least one of them would be good. Somehow, I recieved the same exact metal detector from two different sellers.
this was the other one:

My wife and I have taken these out about six times and the only time that we have managed to find the source of the beep was when we were joined by a friend who had a cheap kids metal detector that he paid $20.00 for. Most metal detectors have a constant tone that changes when it detects metal. This thing just beeps once, then after five minutes of trying to re-find the spot where it beeped I might be able to start the long digging process. If my friend brings his detector over we usually find the source of the beep. If not, no luck. I recently took them to the beach thinking that surely I would be able to locate the object in sand and that was when the true extent of these detector's worthlessness. Four different times I found an area where the beep went off and it kept telling me that the object was 5 inches down. Four times I dug down about two feet and stuck the detector all the way down only to be told that the object was still 5 inches down.
Bottom line: if you are new to metal detecting, buy a cheap kids detector. If you want to do some serious detecting opt for a trusted brand. They are expensive, but they pay for themselves if you take them out often enough.
