This is the metal detector geared toward youthful treasure hunters. The detector's pint-sized scale and straightforward control panel let novices scour backyards and beaches for buried metal without a parent's assistance. A tone sounds when the 7"-diameter sensor detects treasure, and five LEDs indicate the proximity of metal. Once an object is detected, a distinction mode filters out undesirable items such as nails or bottle caps so young beachcombers can zero in on coins, jewelry, or other relics. With a volume control and a headphone jack for silent treasure hunting. The device's handle can be extended, enabling continuous use as a child grows. Requires one 9-volt battery. Ages 10 and up. 37"-49" L x 7 1/4" W x 11 1/2" D. (3 lbs.)
