Product Information

There are many ways that it differs from a standard metal detector, and it has less functions overall. For example, there’s no way to eliminate certain metals from the search (therefore, it will likely detect a lot of non-valuable iron, bottlecaps etc.). Roaming the countryside with a metal detector in hand is also great exercise. It can help get kids outdoors and active, something many families struggle with especially in bad weather. Kneeling down to dig, carrying a metal detector and walking across beaches and fields can all boost physical fitness. Specifically designed for younger children, the AMYSPORTS Metal Detector is a lightweight tool that will give kids a reason to play outside and keep them entertained. There’s only 3 buttons on the LED screen. The power button, the search modes, and the sensitivity. It’s more than enough to keep a kid enthused without confusing them.

There’s a handy depth indicator that displays how far down you need to dig once a target is identified too, which is a great addition that means less digging and happier landowners. However, it can be a bit hit and miss. Second in importance to the metal detector itself is a shovel. After all, there’s no point chancing upon a positive reading if you can’t get to your loot. It’s worth investing in something of quality here. Metal detecting can be a great hobby for the ‘technology-obsessed’ younger-generations to get involved with. It offers users the chance to explore and appreciate the great outdoors. Plus, it can create a reason to go on different outings with your children. You can enjoy metal detecting in the park near your home, or head to the beach or nearest river for a little hunt around. Metal detecting is also a great way for you and the kids to get to know the local area. Planning on hunting at night or during the winter months? Make sure you’ve got a flash light to hand. Even in daylight, a good flash light will prove its worth after you start digging, giving you much better visibility of potential finds in the ground. The information below will help you find a metal detector that will give your child the best possible experience. Benefits of Metal Detecting for KidsAs you shop for metal detectors, you will notice that they have differently sized search coils.
