Treasure hunting can be fun for the whole family, but it may not be wise to give a young child a large, expensive metal detector. Youth metal detectors are sized and priced for kids. Treasures in America offers plenty of options, so you can find a metal detector for kids that fits your needs and budget.

With a kids metal detector, your child can enjoy a healthy, outdoor activity that sparks their interest in history and treasure hunting! Treasure hunting can be fun and educational.

Kids metal detectors are easy to use, but our youth detectors are still real metal detectors. Many sites will sell toy detectors for kids, but our metal detectors really work. Toy metal detectors won’t really find anything, but there are kids metal detectors with real technology to hunt for treasure. If your child really wants to search for underground treasures, get them the real thing here on Treasures in America.

How To Choose Metal Detectors for Kids

Metal detectors can be complicated pieces of machinery for adults, so it is vital to choose one that will be easy enough for a child to use. There are a few key factors to consider when choosing a metal detector for a child. Look for kids metal detectors that are:

Age appropriate
Lightweight
Easy to use
Reasonably priced

We’ll break down each factor and how you can find the right detector for your child. If you still need help deciding on a purchase, the customer service team at Treasures in America can help guide your decision.

Age

When buying a kids metal detector, the first thing to consider is their age. You’ll want a metal detector that is age appropriate. Kids as young as four can try treasure hunting with a metal detector.

Check age recommendations for products before you pick one. Kids metal detectors should list a youngest recommended age for use.

Weight

A child won’t be able to carry and adult sized metal detectors. Kids metal detectors are typically smaller, and therefore lighter in weight. Typically, if a metal detector says it is recommended for ages 6 and up, your six year old should be able to carry it. Double check the weight, however, to ensure that your child can hold the metal detector without dropping and damaging it.

Weight and size go hand-in-hand. Check the size of the metal detector and be sure that it isn’t too tall for your child to use.

Ease of Use

Kids metal detectors should be easy enough for a child to use. Advanced metal detectors can be complicated, even for adults, so a youth detector should have easy, intuitive controls. Check out product specifications to see how each metal detector works first, so you can get an idea of whether or not your child can understand it.

When you purchase a kids metal detector, have an adult read the instructions and learn how to use it so that they can teach the child. The models for younger kids should be very simple. You should also be sure to teach children how not to use metal detectors in terms of safety and damage. Many metal detectors come with warranties, but practicing safety first can avoid costly damage.

Price

You probably don’t want to buy an extremely expensive metal detector for a young child. Most kids models are less expensive, as they are also less advanced than professional, adult metal detectors. Treasures in America offers kids detectors for all budgets, so you can spend as much or as little on a metal detector for your child. Keep an eye out for product warranties, so that you can get a replacement if your child accidentally damages their metal detector.

Where To Go Metal Detecting with Kids

The fun of metal detecting and treasure hunting is that it can be done anywhere! If your child is interested in treasure hunting, you can take them all sorts of places to search for hidden metals.

If you can’t make a trip, kids can have fun treasure hunting right in their own backyard. You can also explore local parks, beaches – really anywhere that you can dig! If you do take your kids metal detector to the beach, be careful around the water. Some metal detectors are water-resistant or waterproof – check the product specifications before you get close to water.

Let your child’s imagination run free while treasure hunting – anything can be buried treasure to a young child. Check out the best kids detectors here on Treasures in America, and let your child enjoy a fun new hobby to get them outdoors and active!
