Metal Detectors for Kids

Finding buried treasure can be fun for adults and children alike. You probably already know that they make metal detectors for adults, but did you know they make metal detectors for kids also? Treasure hunting is a fun activity for the entire family. You get fresh air, exercise, and the thrill of discovering potentially valuable items. Another great thing about metal detector use is the versatility. There are detectors out there that can be used to hunt not only on land, but in water as well. Interested in a metal detector for your child but not sure which one to choose? First, consider the age of your child. A smaller child will do better with a lighter, cheaper model. Older kids and teens can often use more expensive adult models. Here are a few top picks:

Safari Metal Detector -- This metal detector costs only $19.95, making it perfect for young children who may lose interest quickly. It's recommended for ages 5 and up and can find coins, jewelry and other treasures that have been lost in the sand or grass.

Wild Planet Toys Metal Detector -- For about $21.95, you can get a metal detector from Wild Planet Toys. This model has sound and light indicators that alert kids when they're close to treasure. This detector can be used as a hand-held model, or used with the handle for an extended reach. It's recommended for ages 4 and up.

Small World Toys Metal Detector -- This metal detector costs around $18 and is ideal for kids from the ages of 8 and up. This detector uses two adjustable controls and even makes a buzzing noise when it's close to hidden treasure.

Hays Mark I Metal Detector -- For older children or teens serious about treasure hunting, the Hays Mark I is an ideal choice. It folds to suit adults and children, and comes with a variety of great features. More expensive than most child-friendly detectors, this one comes at a price of around $99. It's a durable metal detector that's ideal for any member of your family!

Treasure hunting with metal detectors is a hobby that's fun for everyone! To find out more about metal detectors for kids, just follow the links on this page for additional information.
