Overall Feedback:
69% positive
78% liked the lightweight design
I find the metal detector very light-weight and cannot imagine carrying one that weighs 5 pounds or more.
82% found it waterproof, nevertheless, 18% experienced issues
It is important for me to have a waterproof metal detector as I often encounter wet soil or use it on the beach.
The metal detector is ergonomic and waterproof.
The metal detector has a waterproof base and can be used in various environments like small creeks, rivers and ocean shores.
Waterproof coils are perfect for searching shallow currents and the edges of lakes, rivers and beaches.

82% valued the discerning detection, yet 18% encountered inaccuracies
I appreciate the different tones that indicate the types of metal.
I find the discrimination mode very useful as it can detect various kinds of metals and indicate what kind of metal is found based on audio beeps.
I tested the detector with different types of metal, including a gold wedding ring, and was impressed to find that it could distinguish it.
I often find that the metal detector confuses actual metal with iron, despite finding many coins and treasures.

83% enjoyed the long-lasting battery power, while 17% faced power drains
The LCD panel shows the battery life and provides a depth estimate.
The battery life of the metal detector is very low. I used 2 new 9v batteries and the indicator showed that the battery was out of juice after 15 minutes.
I use 2-9 volt batteries in the detector that last only half a day.
After about an hour of use, the battery was down a whole bar. It sucks up two 9 volt batteries in under 5 hours of use, easily.

86% liked the search coil size and shape, but 14% found it cumbersome
When I hover the metal detector over soil and sand, it covers a large area.
I find that the large 10" coil on this detector makes pinpointing and garbage pickup a bit more of a problem.
74% appreciated the deep detection capabilities, however 26% desired accuracy
The metal detector has a depth of about seven inches and discriminates well between varying metals. It is also very easy to assemble.
The metal detector has a good reach and can detect things buried under six to seven inches deep.
I placed non-iron metals on a plastic table and the metal detector was able to detect them only 5% of the time.
My metal detector's depth reading is inconsistent, bouncing back and forth between 2 and 8 inches.
