Ground EFX MC1 youth metal detector review

Our Ground EFX MC1 youth metal detector review takes you through the features of this analog kids metal detector with a waterproof search coil.

About the Ground EFX MC1 Youth Metal Detector

This Ground EFX metal detector (also known as the ‘Ground EFX Cyclone metal detector’) is a breath of bright green freshness in a world of yellow and black metal detectors. Not that we ever advocate for style over function, but we just LOVE the bright green exterior of this metal detector designed to keep young people busy outdoors. If you want your kids or grandkids to get off the screens and get outdoors, then you can’t go wrong with a metal detector. It’s a fantastic hobby to get them into and will keep them occupied for hours.

If you want to introduce a child to the world of metal detecting, this Ground EFX metal detector is a great starter detector for kids under ten. It comes with a waterproof search coil, it’s adjustable to suit their height, and it’s really robust, withstanding the bangs it’s likely to sustain while being swung around by a kid.

It’s an analog metal detector and the needle moves, indicating different targets. It can pick up coins to 5 inches and bigger objects at 10-12 inches.

It has a basic form of discrimination – you can eliminate certain metals such as nickel, iron and zinc by adjusting the sensitivity dial.

The volume varies depending on the signal strength. The deeper the object, the harder it becomes to hear the signals from the built-in speaker, so the kids will have to be quiet to hear deep objects. It doesn’t have a headphone jack, which is a bit inconvenient

Overall though, this is a decent little machine for its super low price. This model is discontinued, hence the discounted price. We think the new model is called the Ground EFX Cyclone MC2.
