      Very good product. We use it find metal on our farm. We get mostly rusty wire, which is what we are looking for. It is very sensitive. We really like it as a beginner model. Can't wait to find our first "treasure"!

          Comments about Discovery® Discriminating Metal Detector:

          I was surprised to find that when I ordered my model # 1100, the box actually contained Model # 2200. Thanks for the deal!!! I was confused at first, as the directions made no sense and the unit didn't function. But when I figured out that RadioShack actually gave me the next model up at Model # 1100 price, I was ecstatic. Thank you again. By the way..the unit works great. Thanks for the upgrade. I love this metal detector.

            Comments about Discovery® Discriminating Metal Detector:

            My wedding ring (white gold) fell off while I was stringing outdoor Christmas lights. I didn't notice it missing from my finger until hours after I was done while I was shopping for gifts. I really only guessed that it must be in the grass or bushes. Hours of searching outside found nothing. I ordered this metal detector on Saturday and it came today on Wednesday. Set up was easy. In less than 10 minutes outside with the detector I found my ring. The mid-range tone told me I had found gold. The low tone for iron was very helpful because I didn't waste any time and never got down on my hands and knees until I heard a repeating mid-range tone. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! We have been married for over 30 years and I felt really really bad about the ring. I can't believe how easy it was to find it with this detector!

            I use this detector to spend time with my two boys
            also so they don,t ask to use my more expensive
            detector.It is easy to use and good machine to learn
            on. However"The casing needs to be made better and
            the arm rest cradle enlarged.Make those two changes
            and you will have a great entry level detector

              My wife dropped her platinum wedding ring in the sand at the beach. We knew the basic vicinity but could not locate on our own so I purchased this product. It worked great- we found the ring in less than 10 minutes. The discriminating tones really helped to pinpoint finding the ring.

                Comments about Discovery® Discriminating Metal Detector:

                My recently married son was helping me re-landscape a large yard when he lost his $700 wedding ring, somewhere under a hundred bales of recently spread pine straw. I made a quick trip to Radio Shack and grabbed this detector. Not only did it quickly find the ring, but I took it on a beach vacation the following week and found a jar full of coins. I have nothing to compare it to and don't need to!

                    Purchased to find property stakes. Worked and then would stop and start again. Thought it was just a glitch in it. Used that one time, put it up for a long time, got it out today and it did the same thing then got worse until it completely stopped working. Checked it out and one of the battery contacts had broken. I am sure this was the problem from the beginning - as the contact wiggled the detector was going on and off - so it wasn't just a glitch, it was defective. Expensive purchase for just one use! Product needs to have better quality for the price!
