One of the Best Fun and Educational Gift Idea for Kids

Christmas and Birthdays are two special gift giving occasions in the life of a child.  As your child grows older finding them a great gift they’ll really appreciate can get increasingly difficult. Your child wants a gift that offers non-stop entertainment and excitement.


As a parent, you want to give your child a gift that’s safe, encourages physical activity and exercise and stimulates their mental creativity and growth. Like a best kept secret there’s at least one gift that meets the desires of both kids and parents. Until now, it’s probably one gift idea you may not even considered – a metal detector.

A metal detector makes an excellent gift for almost every boy or girl six years old and older.

Why? A metal detector will get them up and out – that’s up off the couch and out of the house and into nature. Besides that a metal detector is a fun and potential money making hobby, good exercise and educational as well.

Many parents feel finding a gift for a child that doesn’t start with video and end in game is nearly impossible.

A metal detector will do all this and more!  Kids can go metal detecting anywhere almost all year long and it will keep them moving and exploring their outside world for many years to come too.

It’s Deceptively Educational

Metal detecting addresses your child’s need for regular exercise and a connection to the natural environment around them. In addition to that your child will also get the opportunity to broaden their knowledge.

Metal detecting is an educational activity allowing kids to study subjects like history, geology, electronics and so much more; and all without them ever even knowing it!

They’ll Have Relentless Fun!

The special boy or girl in your life will get to enjoy all of these benefits and they’ll have fun with a metal detector too which is probably the most important quality of any child’s gift.  After all, metal detectors are modern day treasure hunting tools and what child doesn’t love an exciting treasure hunt?  

Children's Finds Using a Metal Detector

Plus, since you never know what you might find while out metal detecting, the potential for finding something of value is quite high, bringing even more fun in your child’s life than you ever thought possible.

Choosing the Best Model Metal Detector

Are you ready to give the special child in your life a metal detector for their birthday or Christmas?  The best metal detector for a child is an adult machine that has an adjustable handle, is lightweight and has “set and go” controls.  Metal detectors that are specifically “made for children” are often of very poor quality and as a result are frustrating instead of fun to use.
