Who it suits and where to use it
Midi Hoard is a children’s detector for shared family outings. Its size and controls suit younger detectorists from around eight years old. It lets children learn to use a real detector while exploring their surroundings.
Features in use
Three identification tones help children hear differences between signals. Sensitivity has three settings, and pinpoint helps locate an object. Children can gradually connect the sound, the signal location and the piece of metal they recover.
Choosing your setup
Consider the child’s height and ability to sweep comfortably. The detector weighs 880 grams and retracts to 83 cm for transport. It runs on two AA batteries and is waterproof to 1 metre.
