Tianxun MD-1008

We love this metal detector because it transforms any garden adventure into a treasure hunt that captivates children whilst teaching them about patience, persistence, and the thrill of discovery. The MD-1008's intuitive design means kids can start detecting immediately without complex settings, making every beep a potential treasure. This metal detector is perfect for children aged 6-14 and families looking to share quality outdoor time together. Whether exploring the garden, visiting the beach, or joining organised metal detecting events, the MD-1008 provides an engaging introduction to the hobby without overwhelming young users with complicated features. The key features include a waterproof search coil for beach adventures, automatic ground balance that eliminates false signals, and a lightweight telescopic shaft that adjusts as children grow. The clear audio tones and LED target indicator make identification simple, whilst the ergonomic design ensures comfortable use during extended detecting sessions. Performance-wise, the MD-1008 offers reliable detection for small targets like coins and rings in typical soil conditions. The search coil is waterproof for beach detecting in wet sand and shallow water, but the control housing is not waterproof. This makes it suitable for most outdoor conditions whilst requiring basic care around water. Beach detecting is possible but limited to dry sand areas unless supervised in shallow water.
