GlennM 93 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 So this is Glenn's wife posting here. We need some help.We are looking looking at getting a kids metal detector for our 5 yr old daughter. We don't want something super fancy. It just needs to beep and maybe find coins or at least something if its on the ground....I don't want her digging up nails..which I have a feeling is what there would be plenty of in our backyard under the dirt.So if anyone has any ideas. I have seen a lot on amazon. Radio Shack, Discover kids apparently have models. I'd like to stay around $50 (this is a toy after all) but I'd like to have a decent one, so she can be beepin around next to her daddy.Thanks for your suggestions! Link to post Share on other sites

GlennM 93 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hadn't updated this, so I figured I would... This is Glenn, by the way. We got the bounty hunter and my daughter has a ball with it. Found a good amount of trash so far... Link to post Share on other sites
