Metal Detectors by Age Groups: Editor's Choice

The best there is for every member of the family!

Hello there, adventurers and detectorists! At Detector Power, we're always thinking of ways to offer the best possible outdoor experiences to our community, our customers and our readers. Metal detectors have become the cornerstone of family entertainment on the outside. We've seen a significant increase in purchases of metal detectors in our store and as the health and safety restrictions for the pandemic begin to be lifted, it seems people are becoming more and more interested in spending time in the wild, searching for treasure!

Thus, we have come up with a little dossier of metal detector choices from our store that we think will best suit the abilities and needs of all members of the family, according to their age. We also took into consideration the fact that different ages mean different perspectives on what entertainment might look like, so these metal detector choices will be very different in their price range and capabilities.
