Hobby Metal Detectors
Dual-frequency ground detectors for hobbyists who have outgrown an entry-level machine.
All 1 models in this category
What this category solves
- Entry-level detectors cannot distinguish target types
- Electrical noise makes audio-only detection unusable
- Slow coil response causes small targets to be missed
- A fixed stem length is uncomfortable over a long session
- One operating frequency limits the ground you can work
Who it is for
- Hobbyists upgrading from a first detector
- Users who want to identify a target before digging
- Detectorists working areas with electrical interference
What the range gives you
- Dual frequency operation at 7 kHz and 18 kHz on the MD-4080
- Four modes including discrimination with automatic ground balance
- View meter mode for searching where audio tones are unreliable
- Upgraded search coil giving faster reaction than the previous model
- Adjustable stem with arm support for long sessions
Typical scenarios
- Coin, relic and jewellery hunting on lawns, snow and mountains
- Gold and silver searching
- Ancient relics investigation
- Industrial product examination and safety checks
Hobby Metal Detectors FAQ
What makes a hobby detector different from a beginner one
Dual frequency operation and a view meter, which together let you work ground and interference conditions an entry-level machine cannot.
What frequencies does the MD-4080 use
Two: 7 kHz and 18 kHz.
Can I tell the metal type before digging
Discrimination mode gives different tones per metal type, with a mechanical indicator for target type. It is guidance rather than certainty.
How long does the battery last
About 10 hours.
Are headphones included
No, but a headphone jack is provided.
How is it packed for a bulk order
5 pieces per carton at 59 x 23 x 56 cm and 8.5 kg.
