Nice bit of kit
Very easy to assemble. Easy to carry when it’s fully assembled with the handy back pack. Looks like the business. Tried it in the back garden, tested it with a few coins and a gold ring. Really need to get out and play more to get use to the signals and the different tones/ beeps. Handy shovel/ pick comes with it’s own pouch. Headphones are on the ear type. I replaced the batteries for a better make, plus I put spare batteries in the back pack.Going to Formby / Southport on Saturday, will update again after my outing.Update as promisedWent out to Southport and had a fantastic time. Found a old nut and a very large bolt, think they were from when the pier was updated. Still need more practice. The Metal Detector is really great and at a great price.

rubbish jack plug
I bought this detector after reading they had improved the plug, THEY HAVEN'T. The pins are so thin the plug kept dropping out the socket. Pity it could be a good entry detector.

Somthing fun to do on a Sunday morning.
My son loves geocaching.The thrill of finding some random treasure,With his birthday in January it's always difficult to find him somthing after the Christmas period when he's had almost everything he needed and wanted.This was a wild card, a last minute thought and it has been by far his best present.The set comes with everything you need as a begginer, even a mini spade for digging.It is easy to set up and use and even though we've found no treasure yet, we did discover a few coins just loose British change. It's a fun Sunday morning activity strolling the beach looking for treasure.We intend on taking it on holiday with us in the summer.Hopefully it will continue to provide us with lots of family fun.I love the fact it has all the functionality of a higher end metal detector in a mid range price bracket.

Basic/entry level detector.
Fairly robust manufacture for the price and easy to put together. Just about fits in bag once collapsed to shortest length. Is a very basic detector which seems to work well in most terrains. Because it's a basic model it can throw up false signals in high mineral soils or shingle beaches. But can be tweaked by discrimination of iron and/or reducing sensitivity level. (On more expensive models there's a ground balance mode.)Detecting a known source, the signal was a a little eratic and fluctuated between metal types but then for £100 it was to be expected.I would recommend getting high quality batteries or rechargeable ones as the supplied batteries only lasted a couple of hours.Headphones were adequate and worked ok. The accompanying shovel was ok for sand and light loose soil but not for substantial digging. There's a compass in the handle which was next to useless and of little benefit.All in all an inexpensive detector for the occasional treasure hunter or for children but there are better quality detectors for the same price; maybe not with accessories but if you're intending some more frequent or serious detecting then I would opt for the entry level Minelab or Garrett detector.It's made in China... but then isn't everything!

Good detector. Does the job.
Picks up metal to a good 12" depth. Used on soil and sand well. Is lightweight and splash proof. Comes with headphones and a very good foldable sturdy strong spade. The carry bag is useful. Used it 5 times now in woodland, grass fields, mud and on the beach (pebbles and sand dunes) and seems good for the money. Bought for student son who is pleased with it. Makes days out more fun. Found lots of metal but no treasure as yet. Works as well as those a few hundred more. Would recommend.

Easy to use but very poor quality.
Used twice and then the beeper stopped working and the buttons didn’t do anything either. The only way to switch the unit off was to remove the batteries. It worked to find items but couldn’t detect a gold ring or coin when I was testing it out.

Excellent design with clear screen information.
This machine is proving an exciting introduction to metal detecting. It is easy to assemble, comprehensively equipped with a neat, efficient, folding shovel; earphones; and a sturdy, well-made canvas bag in which to carry the complete kit safely. The detector wand itself is quite light and straightforward to use. Its information screen is clear to read and this is backed up by specific audible sounds that help with identifying and estimating depths of different types of metal objects hidden from view. Another bonus is OMMO's prompt and caring customer service.

Rubbish....
I bought this detector as the reviews seemed good and gained permission to go on farm land around my area. Assembled the detector and followed instructions and went out straight away to test it. Every sweep or slightest bit of movent it goes off. Doesn't pick up anything what so ever. Not even a gold ring I put on the surface to test it. Soon as I switch it on it goes mad beeping. Even when stood in the middle of an empty field with no lines to interfere. Really dissatisfied with this product hence the rating.
