Product Information

It doesn’t have any settings to adjust, and can simply be used straight away to detect many different types of metal. The Nokta Makro Simplex metal detector is a highly regarded and versatile device with advanced features, target identification capabilities, and ease of use, making it suitable for both land and underwater treasure hunting.

In the UK we have a system where valuable finds are recorded so that they can be enjoyed by the general public. Designed for adults, this metal detector is a great bet for those just starting out, with plenty of user-friendly features to make your treasure hunts go without a hitch. It will either use a variety of ‘beeps’ to alert you to which type of metal you have found, or actively ignore certain types of metal on request.

The vibration function is particularly useful if the detector is being used in an area where the beeping can’t be heard, or where beeping would be disruptive to others.

We have talked a little about pinpointers above, but it’s worth taking a moment to delve more deeply. The casing is black and light blue, making it more visually appealing to children, and there is a small trowel and hand rake with a matching colour scheme. It also comes with a selection of accessories, which is why it’s one of the best metal detectors for kids if you’re after value for money. It’s a relatively basic, lightweight detector with simple functions – ideal for getting children interested in what metallic treasures they can find lying around. Metal detectors with target ID will often have an LCD display that can indicate which type of metal has been detected.

I recommend this to anyone that is new to metal detecting and that seek the very best budget detector to start off in their journey to the hobby and the experience of metal detecting. Overall, this is a good metal detector to use for fun and to get children interested in the idea of hunting for different metals. Inside of this loop is a wire coil, with electricity sent along it in one direction and then in opposing direction. It has a simple analogue display, with two adjustable dials – one to turn it on and off, and the other to change which metals are being detected. Now you know what to look for in a good metal detector, it’s time to explore what’s currently available on the market.

When compared with the AMYSPORTS Metal Detector (also featured on this page) the models are very similar; however, this Voilamart detector is slightly longer – it can be altered from 65 – 83 cm. Garrett has not cheaped out on their entry-level model and used some, but not all, of their top technology.Smaller coils are better at detecting items closer to the surface and can better pinpoint finds in area with high concentrations of ‘trash’ metal. If there are too many targets in the area, it may be a disadvantage to have a large coil, as it will constantly be picking up signals. If the target ID is shown clearly on the screen, it is also easier for children to interpret rather than requiring them to understand the different beeps of the detector. The best metal detectors for kids will have a telescopic handle shaft , allowing you to adjust the detector’s length based on your child’s height. One final half gripe – there’s no internal pinpointer so you may find you’re digging bigger holes than necessary.
