Metal Detectors for Kids, Beginners & Underwater Hunting

Metal detecting turns any beach, park or backyard into a treasure hunt. Explore Scientific's metal detector collection features kids metal detectors and beginner-friendly detectors from National Geographic and Explore One, designed to be lightweight, easy to use and genuinely capable of finding coins, jewelry and buried relics.

Kids metal detectors and JR models feature simple controls, adjustable lengths and visual or audio indicators that make it easy for young treasure hunters to succeed. LCD metal detectors add a display for identifying targets, and the National Geographic underwater metal detector lets you search both on land and in shallow water, ideal for beach and lakeside hunting.

When choosing a metal detector, consider the user's age and height, whether you will search on land or in water, and how deep you want to detect. Always check local rules before detecting in parks and public areas. Metal detectors are a fun way to get outdoors, learn about history and science, and make exciting discoveries.
