MD-4060 Entry Level Metal Detector
The MD-4060 is the entry-level model that adds manual ground balance, which is the control that actually matters when the ground changes. It runs VCO circuitry with digital signal processing and three-tone audio discrimination, weighs just over 2 pounds, and carries the same LCD as the rest of the range showing metal type, depth and sensitivity.
Key benefits
- Manual ground balance for accurate results across different terrain
- VCO circuitry with digital signal processing
- Three-tone audio discrimination to learn what each signal means
- Just over 2 pounds, light enough for a long session
- Usable in all weather conditions
Problems it solves
- Automatic-only ground balance gives poor results on mineralised soil
- Heavier detectors cut a session short
- Beginners cannot interpret a single-tone audio signal
- Changing terrain throws off a detector that cannot be re-balanced
Who it is for
- Beginners who want a control they can grow into
- Experienced users wanting a lighter second detector
- Detectorists working several different ground types
Application scenarios
- Coin, relic and jewellery hunting
- Gold detection and desert detection
- Beach detection and archaeology
- Safety inspection and general treasure hunting
Technical features
- Manual ground balance
- LCD showing metal type, depth, DISC/NOTCH range, sensitivity and battery
- Numeric display for DISC and TARGET
- Adjustable shaft for comfortable use
- 3.5 mm headphone jack

Compared with other models in the range
The MD-4050 has notch discrimination and super slow sweep identification but automatic-style operation. The MD-4060 adds manual ground balance and VCO circuitry, which is what improves results on varied or mineralised terrain.
Use guide
- Set the manual ground balance for the terrain before starting
- Adjust the shaft length for a comfortable sweeping height
- Learn the three tones before relying on them to skip targets
- Re-balance when moving to noticeably different ground
- Use 3.5 mm headphones in noisy areas
