Tools and Hardware Reviews of American Hawks Explorer Metal Detector Arm Support, View Meter, Waterproof Search Coil with Headphone, Bag, Batteries
Customer Review: Not worth it.
Summary: 2 Stars
Those who gave this thing a great review must have been paid by the manufacturer to do so. This thing is very cheap, poorly designed, and very disappointing. I just received mine and I'm already marking it to sell at the flea market next week.
I threw out a few coins, and some bottle caps on my patio to test it and see how well it discriminated pennies from nickels and bottle caps. It didn't. It either alerted to all of them, or none of them. As for gold, either my wedding band is fake, or this thing doesn't know gold when it sees it.
Things that are substandard on this:
~The electical connections are very loose and often short out causing false alarms.
~The lower rod to upper rod connection assembly is very weak (someone with a mechanical aptitude can easily reinforce this with simple parts from the Hardware store).
~The sensitivity on this is either "Pick up EVERYTHING" or "Pick up NOTHING".
One last note I'd like to make on this. Even though it says American Hawks, I cannot find anywhere in the manual, on the box, or on the product, their brand name. Either they are ashamed to put their name on it, or it's a generic being advertised as a name brand. I'm not going to make any accusations, but the box and metal detector I have, look exactly like the pictures.
