getting my littlew sister a md

what would be the best metal detector for a 9 year old little kid.

Maybe one with graphic target ID but nothing high end. Maybe an American Eagle HP-1030? Or a older graphic target model? My thought is the graphics part and other things would keep interest longer. But then again, if she's not techie, maybe simpler with a needle would be better? Like a HP-1016.

Best wishes!

You need a tough built, simple, and very light weight machine. I'd say the Tesoro Compadre.

Someone has to say it... Ace 150 or 250. Simple, light, tough.

Fisher F2 or an Ace 250. HH, Mike

Whites Classic or similar. Modern technology with good old fashion simple knob controls. Don't get one with a display....will only complicate....

A Tesoro Umax is maybe a cheaper alternative...

The Ace 250 might be good if the kid was a little older.

[treasureace14]

[EARTHLING]

ace 150 or 250.... 250 would be good because kids have minds like sponges and she will learn it quick if she sticks with it

My son is 9 and uses a Fisher F2 and loves it. He had a Tesoro Cibola, but got tired of digging nails.
