Much better than I thought October 6, 2008

Reading the other reviews, I was pretty worried when I heard that this had been bought for my daughter's birthday. I thought that it could put her off something that she could otherwise take an interest in. Having tried it out though, it's actually fine, and got a lot of interest and play time from my daughter and her visiting friends. br / br /Physically it's typical for a modern toy, quite plasticky and light. It fits together easily and is easy to hold (where the lightness helps for a child). It has two rotary controls: one for on/volume and one for sensitivity. There is an animating display which is lit and spins while it's searching and stops when it finds something, accompanied by a beeping sound. br / br /I found that if I turned the sensitivity up so that it was detecting 'thin air' and then just tweaked it down a notch to silence it then the detector worked very well, being set off by a 2p coin from about 5cm away. I actually used it to find a garden spike for a clothes drier which had become buried by long grass and mud! br / br /The children have had fun testing different materials to see which qualify as metal, and looking for small hidden 'treasures'. I have to say that for the price this is a good toy. It works perfectly well and is fun an easy to use (once it's been adjusted!).
