It runs on two 9V batteries and includes a battery tester. One-year limited warranty.

Review: It's a proper metal detector!!! - Bought this motion detector for my 6 yr old to use on the beach (dry sand). Not been to the beach yet but I have done some tests and it works great. The handle would have been better if rubberised, but I have sorted that by putting some rubber grip on it from an old paint roller. It's lightweight so it's suitable for kids, the handle extends, so is suitable for adults too, will fit in a ruck sack. You will defintely find stuff on the beach with this detector, unlike some of the toy detectors out there. From the tests that I have done, you will find a coin at about 5" maximum, and that is pretty ok.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My son will be 4 soon and I thought about getting this for him for his birthday?  Do you think this will be too big for him?  Should I wait a year?**
A: I had gotten it for my granddaughter who is 12 years old. Being 3, soon to be 4 years old, he might get bored real fast should he not find anything right away. I would wait until he gets a little older so that he can appreciate the 'treasures' that he finds under the ground.

**Q: Is the sound annoying? Is the volume adjustable? I'm worried that without an earpiece my 8 year old will annoy other beach goers with nonstop use.**
A: Honestly I'd have to say the sound is kind of annoying if you hear it over & over but it only makes a noise when they find something. The volume isn't adjustable & I don't think there is a spot to plug headphones in. We have 2 &  people are more interested in what our boys find than how annoying the noise is lol hope this helps :)

**Q: will it detect silver, nickel, and copper? can you tell the difference between junk and silver?**
A: It does detect the various metals. The way to distinguish between a pop-top and coin is with the sensitivity adjustment. It's not 100% but you can seed out much of the junk in the ground.

**Q: What type of batteries and how many are required?**
A: On the site where this is listed....on the far left corner (near bottom) where link to of items included, it does say it takes 2 7V batteries.   I was also checking the larger model, the TK4, which is $80.00 , and wish had gotten that one.  It too, take 2 7V batteries.  No matter, the kids are having a great time with it.  Super for beach combing, but great for around the home.  The kids love to scan the parking lots !  They always find something ! (and they don't dig up your yard !)   Good luck, and hope it works out for you.  CC

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ コスパも良いし、性能も十分
*by A***R on 6 May 2025*

Jr.という名の通り、米国では子供が宝探しをするための道具「おもちゃ」の類いだろうが、プロ用であっても所詮電磁コイルによる金属探知の原理は同じ。実際にしばらく放棄していた畑の中に残っているU字ピンを探すのに使ったが、古いボルトや、ブリキ板の切れ端など、かなり小さな金属から、金属杭、鉄プレートも探知出来た。今後耕作を再開する上で邪魔な金属類をかなり減らせたので、安心して農業ができる。良い買い物をしたと思う。ちなみに006P電池はアルカリを使わなくとも東芝のインパルス充電池(Ni-MH）で十分作動する。
