Should I buy this detector?!

[cache finder]

So I was at Target the other day and my son saw this toy truck metal detector. I thought it might be good to take to the beaches where detecting is off limits! lol Some people here will hate me for saying that but I am kidding. I waived coins in front of it and it went down about 6-8 inches.

How often do you frequent beaches that are off limits to detecting?....
It would be a hoot to see you gridding the beach with a child's toy.

Dang - think about all the places you could go that do not allow MD's. All you need is a child and his toy! That is so cool - I think I will order one from my Grandson...

LOL i need to put that on my "Must have" list for Christmas

But wouldn't ya get in trouble for using a cattleprod to make sure the kid stays within the grid lines?

That's kinda cool lol need to bring the wife to target and see how it does with jewelry.

In San Francisco there are quite a few that I would like to hit up.

It works well on a platinum ring, used my wifes and it read to about 4 inches (hers is thin)

I agree! My son is 5 and he wants it! I am going to surprise him with it on our next beach trip.

It's true! We're all just big kids. Can't wait to go to the park and see all of these grown men playing with their little trucks. I'm getting one.

 

[against the wind]

Got any pictures??
How does that truck do in water?
No drivers permit required? lol

 

[thaigler]

Yea but what is the warranty on it ? Also, is it waterproof? :-)

 

[DeepseekerADS]

I just put that thing on my Azon wish list, guess I just gotta have it too

My son has one and it's well worth it. It works better than I ever thought it would.

... leaves one to wonder ... could you put it in a "fancier" container (car) or monster truck?

What about a similar project with a "real" detector?

Maybe mounted on a "frontend loader" and do the digging with the "toy"?

I smell opportunity for someone with the initiative to try it.

 

[bill_wabo]

Lol, do they have a gasoline engine version?

 

[beerguy]

That is a great idea!
