This one works for me-

I paid $20 +shipping - they are $7 now.


The cable is 10 or 12 inches underground, will that work at that
depth? (My kid's toy metal detector wouldn't do it.)


Sorry about that- No I just tried it. The depth is about 3-4
inches. Buy your a kid a Garrett Ace detector- that finds it.

Looks like a toy- priced like a toy [$125]- but it works better than a
lot of the high priced detectors;
