This is why the brand always advertises this unit a beginner’s product with minimalist design and streamlined performance.
Let’s have a detailed insight into this metal detector and see what this product has to offer for a novice.
Design and features:
It is a pretty cool and simple in function a metal detector. When it comes to its design, it is pretty streamlined, and you would love to carry this unit around. It housed a downsized control box situated beneath the device’s frame. With an adjustable shaft, and 51 inches total adjustable length, a pretty secure device for the family.
The arm cup of the unit is cushioned; it has a curved edge with a smooth finish.
The control of this machine makes it an ideal choice for beginners. For experienced users, it would be little hard to get used to the simple control lacking the advanced options. It has a 9-inch search coil and gets a power boost from the two 9-volt batteries. The batteries can make you hunting for at least 20-25 hours, you can arrange extra batteries if planning something bigger than this.
The Target ID display shows the targets on the screen, even it makes you hear the voice of the different metals and read their actual depth.This machine is adorned with five range discrimination option. A user can simply focus on the particular metals and finding without diverting its attention to the other metals. Like, if you drop your gold ring and want to detect it, by adjusting the mode to detect Gold only can make you only find the gold in the specified region, without wasting your time to the false alarms and unimportant metals.
It is a sturdy and dependable machine with versatile options for beginners and novices.
We always test every metal detector before providing a review. This one as well has gone through our testing process and results were quite satisfactory. We use to bring out tests at buried metals at varying depths. We did this by burying the coins and pennies in different holes.
The Coinmaster metal detector successfully identified the metals in 73% of the holes. We saw that most of the holes this metal detector missed were buried around 10-12 inches in the field. This metal detector can only detect metals around 8-inches in depth and you probably will be getting the same results.
The best aspect of this machine would be its ease of use. This is where this metal detector stands out in the crowd. When you get a hit, you get a display at your screen corresponds to jewelry, coins, and trash metals.
The in-built pin pointer tool helps you quite impressively. In the presence of this tool, you might not be needed to acquire some dedicated pin pointer and expect up to the mark performance from the pin pointer.
The modifiable sensitivity helps you a lot to roll out your machine the way you want. Some users love to hunt in high sensitivity settings and want to get an insight into every tiny finding in the area. This feature helps you out in bad weather conditions, wet sands, and mineralized soils.
This comes with headphone audio output. This helps you in treasure hunting in public places. As you might not want some unwanted attention while hunting nearby school and other public places.
Though, there are some downsides of this machine. Like, the battery life might not be very impressed for a pro user. Some limited functioning and absence of advanced controls are the hurdles. That can be an advantage, a beginner cannot roll the advanced function accurately, so simple controls give them pretty a shot.
