I'd toss some quarters into the yard or out in the woods and let her go try to find them, or bury a small metal box filled with coins or small toys and let her go on a treasure hunt. While she really enjoys using it, one issue we've found is that the sensitivity setting isn't linear, that is, it's difficult to tune it in such a way that it either picks up every bottle cap and pop top, or it won't find an iron spike sitting on the ground. I purchased this for my 9 year old daughter who is very interested in nature, exploring, and adventure. As a first metal detector for a child though, it's entertaining, and allows for fun games. Overall, I'd recommend it for children 5-12.
Just make sure to read the instructions and adjust it to the type of metal that you are looking for. It enabled me to pin-point their locations with the help of a survey. I bought this to find my property pins (rebars) so that I can put up a fence. Mission accomplished. Not bad for $50.
I thought that this locator would at least locate large metal objects, but I was wrong. This is more like a kids toy than an actual metal detector. Don't waste your money if you actually want to use it for something relevant.
cheaply made and don't work. I foolishly bought this detector. shipped it back, and still waiting on my money to be reimbursed. It beeps if you sweep it side to side. It would not detect a penny on top of carpet. It was missing an ajdustment nut on the foot. the only reason I gave it one star is because you must give at least one to post.
My father (who is 79) helped open it, and he was like a kid again playing with it. This item was received with days of ordering. My grandson will be so excited at Christmas. Thank you.
