Children's Metal Detectors

Welcome to the Children's Metal Detectors section of our store.

Here at Duchy Detectors, we stock a great range of metal detectors for Children entering the hobby for the first time, metal detecting is a great hobby that gets them outdoors and can spark an interest in history. As a business that is family-run with our own children, we strongly believe in only selling the highest quality metal detectors on the market and not Chinese toys. There is nothing more frustrating than purchasing one that simply does not work properly, especially when it comes to buying your child their first machine as this will ultimately just make them give up and not have fun with the hobby.

We stock some great metal detectors for kids from world-leading brands Minelab and Nokta Makro, they are very simple to use and lightweight. For ages ranging between 3-7 years old we recommend the following models, Minelab's GO-FIND 22, 44 & 66, Nokta Makro's Mini Hoard and Midi Hoard. These entry-level single frequency machines are great for detecting inland and on dry sand but please note that they will NOT work properly on wet salt sandy beaches.

For children showing more of an interest from ages 7+ the Minelab Vanquish series 340/440/540 machines are a perfect choice, they benefit from being multi-frequency metal detectors and will detect targets on any terrain, inland and on the wet salty sand. The Vanquish range of machines can be also seen in our beginner's metal detectors category.
