Got home from working on Sunday and my son runs up to me and says, "dad look what I found out at the barn". With a National Geographic metal detector that I bought for a buck at a yard sale no less.

How old is your son? THat detector looks like an old edge trimmer I use to own! Tell him congratulations!

 

[Great Republic]

Thanks. He is 10 years old. The detector is a real cheap one.It has a red light and a green light and it beeps. Goes down about two inches. The coil is about an 1.5" in dia.

Just found this post while searching this toy. I got one yesterday at a yard sale also, $4.50. Very surprised how well it performed. Like you said-2 inches for a penny. HOWEVER I GET 7 INCHES ON A ALTOIDS TIN! Can't wait to mod this for a back-up pin-pointer. Congratulations to your son for discovering this great hobby - and to you ,for showing him the way. sam in ms.
