Which is why we will recommend this thing to experienced detectorists first and foremost, the people who'll be able to appreciate all of the complex functions that the model has to offer.

RM RICOMAX GC-1028 is balanced, that's the word we're looking for. It will let you detect many different metals, including but not limited to iron, aluminum, gold, bronze, and silver. With these detectors in general, bigger coil equals higher sensitivity. Here, we're dealing with a huge 10-inch coil, making the model much more efficient compared to its counterparts in the same price range.

What's more, the unit's stem and coil are very much waterproof, so you'll be able to use this metal detector underwater as much and as well as the next model.

DR.ÖTEK Waterproof Pinpointer Metal Detector isn't necessarily the most overall impressive product on the list but the model has its moments. For one, it doesn't eat up batteries as much as these devices usually do.

Generally speaking, it will be able to last for 50 hours straight on a single 9V battery. The visual LED indicator, as well as the LED flashlight, do not consume much energy at all but are bright enough and effective at the same time.

There's no sound indicator though. The people behind the product advertise it as the model's advantage since its vibrating mechanism and the LED flashing alarm do the trick just fine without the often annoying audible noise. While they do have a point, an optional audible indicator definitely would not have ruined the product.

On the other hand, the model's fully waterproof housing with its IP68 protection class is an undeniable advantage. The model is very much submersible and you can go diving to just about any saltwater beach with it.

We can definitely get behind the products' one-button design. Just press that button and you'll be able to immediately reconfigure the detector.

This model from RM RICOMAX is great for newbies. It comes equipped with three sensitivity levels that incorporate different flashlights (3 LED lights), ratio audio cues, and vibrate alerts to different distances between the sensor and objects.

The detector's one-button design is as practical as it is efficient. You'll be able to instantly tune the out environment or narrow the detection field to pinpoint larger objects with additional precision.

You might, however, have some issues deep underwater. Sure, the model's probe is waterproof but the housing isn't, so you won't be able to dive with the detector.

Apart from that, this RM RICOMAX metal detector is an excellent budget-friendly tool for newbies. The model is equally practical and efficient. You should be able to find some use for it in many different environments.
