Seben Metal Detector Deep Target waterproof search coil high sensitivity and search depth - Indicator with pinpointer or move function

I ordered the Seben Deep Target Metal Detector and it arrived 4 working days later. An excellent service considering it was free delivery. The device is easy to assemble once you've read the instructions. You'll need a Philips head screw driver. The detector is quite study and looks more expensive than it was. It's very simple to use. You just turn it on and go really. The instructions allow for lots of twiddling with the dials but I just left it on the recommended settings and tried it for the first time today with my 7 year old son. If he can use it, anyone can. We found a 2p coin, a bottle top and an unidentified chunk of metal which he thinks is awesome. Well worth the money and a good hobby for father & son to get into.

Following a repeated request from my other half for a metal detector, I decided to search the Amazon site for a value for money but quality item. The Seben Deep Target appeared to fill the requirements perfectly, and even came with free delivery. The detector arrived in super fast time, was very well packed and included a printed instruction book, not some annoying disc. I am very pleased with my purchase, and we are looking forward to some serious treasure hunting when better weather allows. We have done a couple of test runs in our back garden, and were impressed with the performance, we were not aware there was so much metal buried there. Unfortunately, nothing of particular value as yet. We are total beginners to treasure hunting, but the Seben deep Target is excellent for beginners, without the need to upgrade when the bug takes a serious hold. Quality, value and performance all in one. Highly recommended. Keith and Pat.

Simple to use, great instant feedback from adjustments means you can tailor the sensitivity quickly: the manual gets you up to speed fast and you can set about learning the subtleties of setting the two values. The headphone output is way too loud, though: tried a set of Sennheiser headphones and they'd damage my hearing, and I can't seem to find a volume control, so I tend to use the speaker. My nephew tried it and was utterly enthralled :-)

Bought for the wife who wanted try metal detecting - it's not bad for the price though I wish I'd bought one with discrimination now as this will pick up EVERYTHING! from bottle tops, ring pulls and even minute bits of rust you cannot see - infuriating when you are searching on a big beach.Build quality is good and for a beginner to try it's adequate.

My son broke his arm just before the holiday, not allowed in water so went along the beach scanning found numerous toys undoubtedly buried and lossed spiderman figure and optimus prime plus snoopy and a big yellow truck great fun.

Put this together quite easily when it arrived and it worked fine finding the nails in the decking but then the next time we turned it on it made a constant noise no matter how we adjusted the dials( even when it was in the air). Returned as unusable.

For the price, one could not wish for a better item. It is extremely light, very well designed, and does its job according to the specifications. The set-up is basically common sense and observation. The English instructions on putting it together could do with a little polish, but if one takes a little care and time the whole thing is a piece of cake, and any reasonably intelligent child over of 10yrs or over would have no trouble in assembling and using this machine.

Primarily bought the unit to search a gravel drive for roofing nails having suffered one tyre puncture already and this was cheaper than replacing tyres! Easy to use, has a nice balance in the arm, but buy a good set of headphones with some sort of built-in volume control otherwise you will go deaf if you want to use headphones rather than the internal speaker. Had to run a trial with ferrous and non-ferrous objects to sort out the settings as instructions are limited but once that was done I found plenty of objects and at good depth. Have not tried it for treasure-troving as yet.
