FAQ
Q1: Is this metal detector suitable for beginners?
A1: Yes. This detector is designed for beginners and casual hobbyists, with simple controls, quick assembly, and easy-to-understand modes that make it easy to start detecting right away.
Q2: How accurate is it when locating targets?
A2: It performs best for coins, jewelry, nails, and other small metal objects in shallow soil or sand. For more precise locating, we recommend lowering the sensitivity in trash-heavy areas and using the pinpoint function after a signal is detected.
Q3: Can I use it at the beach or in wet conditions?
A3: Yes. The 10-inch search coil is IP68 waterproof, making it suitable for wet sand, shallow water, and beach hunting. Please note that the search coil is waterproof, but the control box should be kept dry.
Q4: What should I know about battery performance before first use?
A4: For the best performance, always use fresh batteries before your first hunt. Low battery power may affect startup, signal stability, and overall detecting performance.
Q5: Is the included shovel strong enough for all ground conditions?
A5: The included shovel is a convenient starter tool for light digging in sand, loose soil, and soft ground. For hard-packed, rocky, or heavily rooted soil, we recommend using a heavier-duty digging tool.
