Good to Know Before You Buy

• This is a pocket-sized detective-play tool for finding nearby metallic objects. The product information describes detection through thin covering materials, not deep-ground searching.
• No detection depth is specified, so do not assume it will locate deeply buried treasure.
• The sound indicates metal detection; the description does not claim it identifies the type or value of the metal.
• Check the packaging for recommended age, battery requirements and whether batteries are included before use.
• Use known, clean objects for practice hunts and follow the manufacturer's safety and supervision guidance. Leave sharp or unfamiliar objects alone.
