Metal detector for Christmas present - any recommendations?

[Sailorsgirl44]

Hi
Kids (8+ 6 ) have asked for metal detectors for Christmas - would anyone know where I could get a reasonably priced one that does actually work?

Thank you

You do not need one each- it gets boring quick so they will be fine to swap. You find very little and will have to bury coins on the beach ahead of you to make it fun for them. They are little and likely to loose interest very quick - good ones are heavy for little dc.

I'm not sure if the toy ones work - proper budget ones like Bounty tracker 4 do work but may be more than you want to spend and are for more older dc due to size and weight.

I got one in Smyths for DS's friend for his birthday. I think it was about £17.
