## Description

desertcart.com : Nokta Metal Detector for Kids – Midi Hoard Kids Metal Detector with LCD Display - Waterproof- Pinpoint Button - Lightweight and Easy to Use, Ideal for Ages 8-12+ : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Perfect! - My 10 year old granddaughter was ecstatic when she received this for her birthday. It's easy to use, lightweight, sturdy, adjustable length and waterproof. No treasures found yet, but she's working on it!
Review: “Best Metal Detector in the World” according to my 8 year old son. - I picked up the hobby early last year with a Simplex, and upgraded to a Legend in September (because I mostly hunt a beach in the summer). My 8 year old almost always comes with me but has a hard time swinging the Simplex. I bought this for him for Christmas. Our first time out with it, we went to a local basketball court that is very trashy. My son was able to fully operate the detector completely himself. In about 45 minutes he had 3 finds. They were all coins. He ignored any iron signals (the midi shows 3 icons for low/iron, mid and high) he even figured out how to notch out the iron signals completely. He was able to use every feature from the different color LEDs, the sounds, the visual indicators, depth guide and notching. He said he feels like a real metal detectorist now and this is the best meta detector in the world. I was hesitant because the price of the MIDI is a little more than half of a simplex, but for someone his size and experience, I think it was completely worth it for this detector. Being waterproof is a huge plus. We’ll have to see how it goes on the beach this summer.
