MD-1006 Toy Metal Detector
The MD-1006 is a complete starter set rather than a bare detector: carrying case, manual, 9 V battery, headphones and a shovel are included. It runs at 22 kHz, detects a single coin at 100 to 300 mm, and an alkaline battery lasts over 45 hours because detection distance holds steady even as the 9 V cell drops toward 7 V.
