Detector under the tree

Like almost all parents today, you may be struggling with how to get your precious daughter or son away from the computer. But maybe your little one has found a hobby that you do yourself and would love to find a dream detector under the tree. We hope the following overview will help you choose and possibly buy a detector that makes sense. All the selected detectors are very light in weight, up to a maximum of about 1 kg. They have simple operation and we guarantee very low failure rates.

Detector for the smallest children up to 3.000 CZK

I would like to say right away that buying a detector for a child under 5 years old is probably unnecessary, unless you have a big smart kid at home. If you don't, it's better to lend your child a tracker and let them search for targets they've already dug up. Not only do you get to do the digging yourself, but the kids have extra fun as they keep finding things in the dug-out piles. In case your child is anything between 5 and 7 years old, you can buy both two small BHs that are somewhere between a detector and a toy and now the new Go Find 11. All three detectors are priced under 3,000 CZK and with the Minelab Go Find 11 you can already talk about a full-fledged detector. Here it is no longer a toy.

Bounty Hunter Junior

A simple device designed for the youngest children. The simple design and small range is matched by the price of 2,290 CZK incl. VAT.

Bounty Hunter Junior ID

New version of the Junior from BH with LCD and simple operation. But it is still a detector designed for children, adults or older children will not find it useful. The price is 2.730 CZK incl. VAT

Minelab Go Find 11

It would almost be tempting to write "hot news", but for a children's detector it seems somehow inappropriate. Moreover, this is basically the original version of the Go Find 20. But it must be said that the detector has been given a new, quite extraordinary price of 2,890 CZK incl. VAT. I can comment on the detector from our experience, as the original 20 is used by my own children. First it was Ondra's older one and now it is Kuba's younger one. The detector has been through a lot and has survived everything up to the present day, which I can only appreciate. Even though it is a "small" detector, even an adult can find his way around with it.

Some time ago we filmed a small test of the Go Find 22. You can watch the video.

Metal detector priced from 3.000 to 5.000 CZK

This is probably the category that all parents look at most often. At the same time, these are also detectors that can be used even by unpretentious beginners.

Minelab Go Find 22

The smallest detector in the new Go Find range. The detector is very light and perfectly balanced. But in addition, it is also extremely compact, allowing for instant folding and unfolding in a matter of seconds. The search probe is waterproof, so you can use the detector both inland and when wading on beaches. The detector also has a very pleasant price, which fits under 4.000 CZK including VAT.

As part of Minelab's Christmas promotion, the detector comes with a free pouch for finds.

Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro

Currently the cheapest detector on a classic conservative design. The detector is equipped with a basic 20 cm concentric coil. So you can't expect any hell of a performance, on the other hand it is definitely worth the money you pay for it. Even an adult searcher can find his way around with the detector, in fact adult searchers often buy it. The weight, simple operation and the price of 4.890 CZK incl. VAT are pleasant.

Minelab Go Find 44

The new metal detector Minelab Go Find 44 is designed for beginners and intermediate searchers. It has a number of advanced features, great sensitivity and range. Unlike the Go Find 22, the 44 is already fitted with a larger 25 cm probe. The detector is very light and well balanced. In addition, it is also extremely compact, allowing for instant folding and unfolding in seconds. The search probe is waterproof, so you can use the detector both inland and when wading on beaches. The price of the detector is 4.990 CZK incl. VAT.

Metal detector priced from 5.000 to 6.000 CZK

Spending more on a gift for a young searcher is unnecessary, I think. Moreover, here we are already in the class in which adult searchers often start. The choice of detectors is again influenced by the lowest possible weight and ease of use.

Bounty Hunter Quick Draw Pro

The detector is also very well balanced and also has a low weight, only 1 kg. It is equipped with a higher quality probe than the Lone Star. The same coil can also be found in some higher end models First Texas (detector manufacturer Fisher, Bounty Hunter and Teknetics). The identification on the LCD is handled by ID numbers ranging from 1 to 99 and the three-tone audio discrimination is very accurate. The motionless pinpoint tracking mode also adds to the ease of searching Despite the detector's very fast response to the target, it makes tracking the detected object much easier for beginners. The price of the detector is 5.980 CZK incl. VAT.

Fisher F11

Fisher The F11 is a metal detector from the new development line of devices Fisher (F11, F22 and F44). These instruments replace the F2, F4 and partly also the F5. The F11 offers very good performance at a nice low weight. Detected metals are indicated by three tones and a response on the display. On the LCD you have the categories of detected objects (metals), the approximate depth of the object and the battery status. The detector allows you to customize the sensitivity, volume and discrimination settings. The price of the detector is CZK 5,990 incl. VAT.

C.Scope CS1MX

C.Scope produces other and cheaper analogues, but I simply cannot recommend them in good conscience. These are motionless detectors, I never became a fan of them and buying such a device for a young searcher is a bit of a punishment. But the CS1MX is something completely different. The detector is fast accurate and sensitive. If a searcher starts with such a device, he will get very good habits. The CS1MX is also nicely lightweight and although it is only fitted with a 20cm concentric, it doesn't have a bad range at all. It's the only representative of analogues under 6.000 CZK, but I would certainly give it a lot of thought. The price of the detector is 5.990 CZK including VAT.
