Easy-to-use and lightweight. A perfect choice for both, young explorers and adult treasure hunters alike. A great way to explore and have fun for the whole family.

ADJUSTABLE LENGHT

Release the lock and extend the metal detector to perfectly with your height. No matter if children or adults - the adjustable length ensures that you can reach down to the ground to ensure optimal sweeping for hidden treasures.

DIFFERENT TONES

As you move the detector over metal, electricity flows through the detectors receiver coil, making the loudspeaker click or beep. The closer you move the transmitter coil to the piece of metal, the louder the noise. Different tones will identify various precious metals and let you know when you've found something!

Product Description

Everybody loves a treasure hunt, and the Explore One Metal Detector is easy-to-use and will have your junior explorer sweeping for hidden valuables in no time. Different tones will identify various precious metals buried up to 6 inches, and LED lights allow for low light or nighttime searching. A metal detector contains a coil of wire (wrapped around the circular head at the end of the handle) known as the transmitter coil. When electricity flows through the coil, a magnetic field is created all around it. As you sweep the detector over the ground, you make the magnetic field move around too. If you move the detector over a metal object, the moving magnetic field affects the atoms inside the metal. In fact, it changes the way the electrons (tiny particles "orbiting" around those atoms) move. Now if we have a changing magnetic field in the metal, the ghost of James Clerk Maxwell tells us we must also have an electric current moving in there too. In other words, the metal detector creates (or "induces") some electrical activity in the metal. But then Maxwell tells us something else interesting too: if we have electricity moving in a piece of metal, it must create some magnetism as well. So, when you move a metal detector over a piece of metal, the magnetic field coming from the detector causes another magnetic field to appear around the metal. It's this second magnetic field, around the metal, that the detector picks up. The metal detector has a second coil of wire in its head (known as the receiver coil) that's connected to a circuit containing a loudspeaker. As you move the detector about over the piece of metal, the magnetic field produced by the metal cuts through the coil. Now if you move a piece of metal through a magnetic field, you make electricity flow through it (remember, that's how a generator works). So, as you move the detector over the metal, electricity flows through the receiver coil, making the loudspeaker click or beep. Hey presto, the metal detector is triggered and you've found something! The closer you move the transmitter coil to the piece of metal, the stronger the magnetic field the transmitter coil creates in it, the stronger the magnetic field the metal creates in the receiver coil, the more current that flows in the loudspeaker, and the louder the noise.

    The kids love exploring with them and searching for treasures outside and discovering where there's metal in the house. Practically, we used it to find dropped bolts in the lawn when servicing the mower. We also used it to find roofing nails in the lawns, gardens, and walkways after replacing the roof. Great product all around!

    4.0 out of 5 stars fun but low powered
    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I wondered how powerful it would be with the low price. It is ok to find metal under the rug or under cardboard, but at the beach it was difficult to find metal money we hid under the sand only about 1/2 inch under. I am sure we left money on the beach! So...indoors it kept the 3 and 6 year old boys occupied for about 20-30 minutes. Outdoors they lost interest fast since it could not detect well at shallow levels. The flashlight they found fascinating because it is very bright like a real one. I would not buy the same one again for beach use.

    This product is absolutely wonderful. Does just as described in finding metal objects, light weight for the young, has flash light attachment, easy to setup, and the kids love it. I don't understand the bad reviews because this works exactly as described and it does it well. I put in better 9 volt battery that lasts longer (like the ones you use for smoke detectors). The item arrived well packaged, fast, and worked with no problems.

    All my daughter wanted for her 8th birthday was a metal detector to collect "treasures". Being this was her "big gift" I wanted to find something that was relative to her size, but still high quality that would operate appropriately. This is a great metal detector. It is light enough for a child, and is height adjustable. Also, it easily detects treasures and works/operates wonderfully.

    Fun surprise for my 11 year old grandson. The "tone" to identify metal seemed off as he swung, or rotated the head. Too far from horizontal gives a false positive.

    Funciona muy bien, ha detectado metales a al menos unos 5 CM bajo tierra, es bastante sensible y el sonido es audible sin ser muy fuerte. A mi hijo le encantó. El precio de 600 me pareció bueno y la calidad del producto es buena, aunque al ser de plástico es fácil que se vaya rayando y raspando la parte de abajo.
