These innovative detectors are simple to use; sweep them over objects or areas and hear the beep as they detect the metal. With a detection range of up to 40mm for a 25mm diameter coin, these marvellous treasure hunters can be used to aid learning in lots of areas: Develop communication skills as children search for hidden treasure, looking at clues and maps. Investigate materials in your setting. Is there any metal in a tree? Is there any metal on a table? Why does it beep when I run it over my shoes? Discuss why the metal detector beeps when it goes over money, but not other precious items like gems. Why not make your own ancient artefacts and hide them for children to discover? Batteries should last for up to eight hours in normal use with a three hour recharge period. An LED indicates charge status. Each detector: L20 x W8cm, for ages 3yrs+.
