Hi Doctor. There was 2 at one of my local Aldis today. I say WAS 2 because I bought one. More than happy to post it to you for cost plus postage.

Cheers

Ramjet.

I tried 2 Aldi's local to my area and none I am afraid. Would buy 2 to get grand kids interested if I could find them.

Hi Pablo. Doctor has already claimed the one I have. I'll go grab the other one tomorrow and check other Aldis to see if more are available.

Nice work ramjet, very nice

Cheers stoyve. We are here to help each other out. I've received plenty from the good people on the forum.

Any good for a kid? The young bloke is forever fascinated ( not too shabby with it either) by mine I adjust it up for him but the over bearing adult in me leaves me nervous after 5 mins. Cheap enough does the job but I haven't seen one in the flesh. I'm really meaning how hard would the weight and length be to handle?

My grandsons use mine. They are a little small for it at the moment. Only 5 years old. The Aldi is fairly light and has an adjustable length shaft.

Thanks RamJet, PM me with what you find.

Rob.

Cheers RJ. I'll see if the local still has a unit, I'd like to give the kid a go with something he's interested in that gets him outdoors even more. Can do a great job at recovery and retrieval so I think he's earned his stripes.

When I take the little blokes I always "drop" a couple of coins in the bark or sand in the play areas. Push them under with my feet. That way they are sure to find treasure and become interested in finding more.

Hey Ramjet, a funny story. My grandson has been over to stay so I took him out with the AT Pro and let him have swing. We were at a place that I thought might turn up some really old pre-decimals, so he started swinging. Hadn't gone far, got a clear signal, 8" down.........8" down. "Dig there Papa" "Yes sir" So I started to dig and sure enough about 8" down we struck it.........a water pipe. And my plug spade did a great job of the plastic pipe. So we didn't get much else from the afternoon except a trip to the local hardware store and the fitting to fix said pipe. [I'm sure those early pre-decimals are still there though]

And how much are the Aldi detectors, please?

99 dollars, but in one of the threads someone mentioned discounted to 69.

I have come across a few copper pipes. Luckily I did no damage. Aldi detector is $99. I saw on FB were some places have reduced the price. $69 I thin k it was. Not at my local unfortunately.I will be asking tomorrow.

These Aldi detectors, Are they easy to use or do you have to be a detectorist to "understand" them?

I've been thinking of a Garrett Ace 150 for the boy but hey $99 is better than $205ish in Aus or $120 in US!

Pretty basic. Turn on and dig everything. They do have discrimination. There is a good video on here sonewhere. A few members are doing very well with them in parks.

THnaks RJ. Thought it might be an ok machine for the boy but I think he needs a bit of discrim after using the AT Pro. Probably an Ace 250 would be the go. Anyway thanks again.

Here is a youtube video of the Aldi detector. Some air tests and showing how to discriminate out the junk.
