Hi, I'm looking to purchase a brand new cheap detector as a present for a friend, i found this on Ebay, but from what i can gather it seems way to cheap to even do anything.
I'm not looking to spend money as it's just a present, but at the same time i don't want to buy something for someone that can't even be used.
Could someone maybe explain the specs of this detector, and tell me if it's even worth buying or not. He goes gold panning sometimes as a hobby, so i thought it might be a nice idea.
ebay.com.au/itm/New-Deep-Target-Sensitive-Metal-Detector-Waterproof-06-/251035880770?pt=AU_Gadgets&hash=item3a72e78d42&_uhb=1
It only costs $75 delivered, and comes with a free set of head phones!
The specs:
Respond to all type of metal object with 3 Operation Modes: VLF, TR1, TR2
Meter indication for metal being detected
Adjustable Sensitivity. Max. Sensitivity: 18cm
Working frequency: 15KHz
3 Audio Frequency: 400Hz, 700Hz, 1500Hz to indicate different types of metal
Arm- support handle
One Touch Auto Tune
8"(200mm) Waterproof Search Coil
3 x 9V Batteries Required
Product Size: 90(L)x 19(W)x 19(H)cm
There is also a digital one for $20 more but the frequency is 6.6khz. I'm not sure of the difference
Thanks for you time!!
