1.0 out of 5 stars do not buy this - it is a total waste of money , 27 Dec 2007
By Mrs. J. K. Nunn - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
this product is the worst piece of plastic masquerading as a toy that i have seen in a long time. it barely detected metal when it was placed within 2 mm of it. it could not detect a ring on a marble floor, and two grains of sand on a tin can stopped it working.
A magnet on a piece of string would work better than this piece of junk.
I has scored 1 out of 5 from me only because I could not score it less.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS and SHAME on National Geographic for letting their name be associated with such total rubbish.

1.0 out of 5 stars Please avoid - very disappointing, 18 Jan 2008
By Caznay (South West England) - See all my reviews
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
My daughter was thrilled to receive this for Xmas but we were all so disappointed with it. It doesn't detect any small pieces of metal at all - a coin for instance. It just doesn' work!

I would not now buy anything with the National Geographic branding.

Ideal metal detector for a child but unsuitable for an adult.

Rather fragile sensor, so great care has to be taken to prevent damage. Read more
