Much better than I thought 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. Physically it's typical for a modern toy, quite plasticky and light.

Big metal items fine, small things rubbish Our son was brought this for his birthday - it did pick up large items that we hovered over (i.e. the telephone, the alarm clock etc.) but couldn't pick up our wedding rings or anything small - and if there was anything between the detector and the item - nothing. Not much good when the whole point is to find buried things!! Very disappointing as a working item - more like a "let's pretend" toy. :(
Complete and utter rubbish - don't waste your money This was on the top of my son's Christmas wish list and what a disapointment it turned out to be. I fully agree with the other reviewers here, the detector simply could'nt detect! We placed a variety of objects directly in front of it and on no occasion were they picked up. I thought by buying a product endorsed by National Geographic I was buying a quality item but I was sadly wrong. A waste of money and one sad and frustrated small boy!
Please avoid - very disappointing My daughter was thrilled to receive this for Xmas but we were all so disappointed with it. It doesn't detect any small pieces of metal at all - a coin for instance. It just doesn' work! I would not now buy anything with the National Geographic branding.
