Title: My first metal detector - a nice product - well worth it!
Review: I wish I'd had this as a teenager when I lived in a house where the first part of the house was first built in the 1700s and was the first hotel/inn in a Westchester County NY town. I bet I'd have discovered a lot. But those days are long gone, and I doubt as a kid I'd have been able to afford a metal detector with my babysitting money anyway. Where I live now, though, is an area in another state where there was a lot of revolutionary war activity and a lot of settlement activity since then so this will be an adventure. I wish I lived in England, though, because youtube videos from England and Scotland and their finds are the best and that's what led me to look further into this (as well as the series "Detectorists" which I'd give 5 stars if reviewing it). But, still, this is working just great, and I'm enjoying it already. It's pinpoint feature is very nice, I'm not sure I'm even going to need the separate pin-pointer that I bought. Also, it was very easy to assemble and came with a little pick/shovel, a set of earphones, and a bag to carry the detector. It's a very good deal. The only feature it doesn't have is a depth finder, but I don't expect it to work like a $1,000 detector and it's doing great - it's a VERY good deal for the money spent on it, especially if it lasts awhile. Well worth it!

Title: Great little set, different tones make it easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Review: Found so many things in my backyard already. The headphones are on the cheap side but they do work fine and will come in handy at the beach. In my yard I don't use them, no need to be quiet. The shovel is good quality and the holder for it is cheap but works fine. The carry case is on the cheaper end but works fine and is nice to have. This metal detector is not heavy duty so it's definitely great for beginners. The velcro strap is also on the low quality side. It is adjustable for varying heights though which helps. Easy to assemble, takes only a few minutes. The head disc angle is adjustable which is also a nice feature. If you are doing this for a hobby this is a great set to start with. For the price you can't go wrong.

Title: Good starter machine
Review: So I'm new to detecting and I didnt have the money to spend on a higher end detector yet. So as a starter I decided to buy this one. It was pretty easy to set up. It's super light weight. I like how it has a lot of features that some of the higher end models have. I also like how it's water proof. It does feel a little bit flimsy and cheap but It works well enough considering the price. I've used it the past couple days. I did notice sometimes it doesnt always pick up a target on the first swing while open air testing. Kind of concerning as the point of a metal detector is to find metal objects that you dont know are there. Although there is a bunch of settings for sensitivity and discrimination to play with, so I cant exactly blame the machine yet. I will say, it doesnt do it all the time and I have found tons of stuff while detecting in my yard. Sometimes you'll get a little beep and have to keep swinging in the general area to try and find it again and the numbers will jump all over the place. These are usually junk items such as pull tabs, bits of metal flashing, iron, etc. But ricomax does say in the instructions that this will sometimes happen with junk targets. Every coin or decent thing I've found does seem to have a consistent beep and number. Also the accuracy of the number for the target seems to be pretty spot on. So I think it's just a matter of learning how the machine works and getting used to the different tones and how the machine acts to certain targets... Same as most machines I'm guessing. The depth of which it can find a target seems pretty decent. So far I think the deepest thing I've found was about 8". Not too bad. Overall I think this is a good starter machine with good features, good depth, and decent accuracy, and for the price you really can't ask for more. I would definitely reccomend this to someone who wants to get started detecting and doesnt have a bunch of money to spend on a higher end unit. It will absolutely get you out swinging, finding things, and having fun in the process.

Title: Works Well Enough
Review: Please note that my review is based on the use-case that I purchased it for. My ratings are based on a single experience, not as a result of any comparison against competing units.I needed to find the property markers for the home I just purchased in order to build a fence, and I wanted to give this a shot before I spent much more on a professional survey. This was a lot more cost-effective, and it did the job well enough in the end. I may decide to use it more for finding buried goodies later on, but it wasnât on my mind at the time of purchase.After it was delivered on time, I assembled the detector. It went together easily and took no more than a few minutes. The length is adjustable, so it is easy to find the most comfortable position. I put the batteries in and started searching.I have no experience detecting, so I set the sensitivity to max and didnât set any metal discrimination. This probably caused me to lose some time, since I kept hearing the beeps and would start digging where I thought the buried post might be. I was getting a bit frustrated by finding a spot that would look like it was hitting a target and digging, only to find nothing. I am fully convinced that this was user-error, and not the fault of the detector.I gave up after about an hour and went back inside to read the manual. Iâd seen the âPin Pointâ button while I was searching, but it didnât seem to do anything. After I read that you had to hold the button down for that feature to work, I went back outside and tried again, even though it was after dark. The yellow color was appreciated, since it was easy to see when itâs on the ground at night.Using the pin point feature, I found the buried stake in about five minutes. The detector homed right onto it, and I could watch the signal bars to find the maximum level and center the target right in the middle of the coil.The next day, I used it in the back yard and found a nail about three inches down, so itâs definitely able to find buried metal objects. Iâm sure that with more practice and adjustments, you could find plenty of objects with it.Since Iâm pleased that I saved several hundred dollars with this, Iâm giving it a perfect score.
