So - how does it perform overall and is it a quality product to give as a present or educational tool? Read on to learn more.

Bounty Hunter Educational Junior Metal Detector Features & Specifications

Size & Weight
Bounty Hunter have clearly taken time to think about this model in their Junior series, as the weight is an appropriate 3 pounds - lighter than most of the other metal detectors in their line.

This means that your kids will be able to easily use the detector without fear of being weighed down by it.

Additionally, the size is just slightly smaller overall than a standard metal detector, making the Bounty Hunter Educational Junior Metal Detector perfect for shorter individuals (i.e. kids).

Detection Abilities
Because the Bounty Hunter Educational Junior Metal Detector is powered by 2 x 9 volt batteries, kids will have to replace the batteries when they are flat - which might even add to the learning curve of the product (i.e. new life skills!). The battery power allows the metal detector to find items down to a depth of 3 feet (large items) and 8 inches (small items) - which is in line with the industry benchmark standard.

The audio signalling is in the form of a pinging target which increases in tempo when metal items are detected.

Interface & Controls
This model has an LCD screen which shows various user features - such as when an object has been identified for sure. Probably the most important additional feature in the Bounty Hunter Educational Junior Metal Detector however is the educational pack - which contains a number of useful things such as a magnifying glass, trowel (which comes with a pouch), coin guide (to reveal the value of objects which might be found) and a coin folder.

Altogether, this makes the entire product a whole lot more fun than just a metal detector by itself.
