MD-3005 Kids Metal Detector
The MD-3005 reaches 0.6 m maximum depth with ferrous and non-ferrous discrimination and one-touch auto-tune, which is more capability than most children's detectors carry. It runs at 22 kHz from a 9 V battery through a 170 mm coil, weighs 850 g and includes volume, tune control and a battery test on an adjustable stem.
