DR.ÖTEK Metal Detector 6-mode waterproof detector 📡
Description:
This lightweight metal detector brings a practical mix of sensitivity and simplicity for family outings and solo hunts. As a waterproof gold detector it adapts to beaches, rivers and parks while offering higher accuracy according to the manufacturer, so you can focus on finds rather than fiddly settings. It is suitable for beginners and younger users thanks to clear controls and a compact, adjustable build.
Key Points
The detector includes six detection modes, three classic options and three terrain presets labelled Pasture, Park and Sand, which help the unit adapt quickly to different soils. One-Click Quick Matching automates ground balance and reduces setup time, making it faster to start searching. The upgraded DSP chip claims to boost target discrimination and sensitivity by up to 40%, reducing false signals in electrically noisy environments. The 9.8" search coil is IP68 rated for waterproof use, which means you can sweep shallow water and wet sand during a day at the shoreline 🏖️. With an adjustable stem and a total weight under 1 kg, prolonged detecting is less tiring and more comfortable for adults and children alike.

Usage Recommendations
Adjust the stem so the coil sits just above the ground and walk at a steady pace while sweeping. Start in DISC mode to reject common iron signals and switch to Pinpoint when the display indicates a target to confirm location before digging. For coastal searches, use the Sand terrain mode and rinse the coil after use to remove abrasive salt and sand particles 🌊. Headphones improve audibility in busy areas and help you interpret target ID numbers shown on the backlit LCD.
Consider that performance figures such as the 40% accuracy improvement are manufacturer statements, and detection depth depends on soil composition and the size of the object. Battery life will vary with usage and whether headphones are connected. For children, shorten the stem and supervise digging so finds and tools are handled safely ⚒️.
