The Garrett ACE 300 is the most commonly recommended metal detector for children - lightweight, simple preset operation, and genuinely capable of finding real coins and relics. The Nokta Score is a strong alternative with simultaneous multi-frequency and full waterproofing at a competitive price; the Double Score bundle is popular for parent-and-child detecting where both hunt simultaneously. For older children and teenagers who are serious about the hobby, the Garrett ACE 400 or Nokta Simplex Ultra are capable machines they will not outgrow quickly. See all kids detectors.
