DR.ÖTEK Metal Detector for Adults Professional, Pinpoint Metal Detector Waterproof Gold and Silver, Higher Accuracy, Bigger LCD Display, Strong Memory Mode, 10" IP68 Coil, Upgrade DSP Chip

Product Information

It’s more of a ‘toy’ detector compared to many of the others models featured on this list. Although it has enough power to detect metals close to the surface of the ground, it’s not got the strength to uncover much buried treasure. However, it performs as you would expect for the price.

In addition to the discrimination function, this metal detector has something truly unique, namely the memory mode. For example, if you want to find a specific object such as a coin, you can set up the detector to only respond to this desired object. Full-size detectors tend to be extendable, but even their shortest length will be too long for a young child. Often, they range from approximately 90 – 120 cm. These are best for younger children, between the ages of 4 – 9 years old. They weigh less than 1 kg and are therefore more suitable for children to use and carry without getting tired. Older children (10 +) should be able to support heavier detectors, which can weigh between 1 – 2 kg. Waterproof Search CoilDR.ÖTEK also produce another machine called the MT-XR. This machine is promoted as their top-of-the-line detector but I would disagree. The MTXE is, in my opinion, a better machine. There various brand and makers of metal detectors in the UK and amongst them, garrett metal detector and simplex metal detector are famed amongst the best and most efficient metal detectors. On this list, brands such as DR.ÖTEK, MYLEK, and National Geographic will be featured. The OMMO Metal Detector for Adults Kids alongside an effective metal detector comes with a carrying bag, 2 9V batteries, a shovel, and 1 headphone. It is a metal detector perfect for children, people developing an interest in metal detection, and for those who just want to have fun using a metal detector. It delivers a fun experience for the user but it isn’t especially accurate. The OMMO Metal Detector for Adults Kids features three distinct modes, the all-metal mode which allows the metal detector to notify you when it is around a metallic object. Obviously, your choice will depend on how seriously you are taking metal detecting and your available budget. The more expensive metal detectors have more features to enable you to find more things, but they may be too costly for someone who is not sure how much they will use the machine. As you can see, models with these adjustable settings may be too complicated for younger children; however, as kids get older, they may wish to have more control over their finds – especially if they’re getting serious about the hobby. In these cases, a metal detector with adjustable settings will be more suitable. You may have to take some time to go over the instructions with your child. Target ID

Nokta PulseDive– Excellent pinpointer. Very well made. Built like a tank. Plenty of options. Quite heavy and the buttons are stiff. For a different type of metal detector, this Sakobs Metal Detector Pinpointer offers a way to detect metals in the ground without using a large, upright unit. Therefore, all people can use this metal detector. Think about beginners, experienced detectorists, short people, tall people, people with hearing impairments, children, seniors, and visually impaired. Conclusion: Is the DR. ÖTEK MT-XR worth your money? Accurate and Easy Detection - With a 3.15" detection distance and 360° omnidirectional detection probe, the metal detecting pinpointer provides precise and efficient detection. The pinpointer metal detector is IP68 fully waterproof to a depth of 3m/9.8 feet, suitable for the seabed, riverside, beach, and other places, allowing you to enjoy detecting underwater. Like a lot of metal detectors, this model can discern between different types of metal. Whilst kids probably won’t mind if they’re simply uncovering bottle caps at the start of their metal-detecting journey, it leaves room for them to learn and grow.All in all, this is a beginner-friendly metal detector which is also suitable for the avid-detectorist. Working well to limit the amount of ‘junk’ metal you dig up, it’s also waterproof up to 3 m and effective around fresh water. There’s also no battery life indicator so you’ll need to take a spare set, and the control box is not waterproof – however the search coil is. It’s fine to use in shallow freshwater but care is needed to keep the control box safe.
