Treasure Cove Metal Detector Set - Fortune Finder Platinum Digital (Model: TC-3020)

After 11 Years I managed to lose my wedding ring at the beach last Sunday! I knew that I had to do something to find it, so a friend of mine suggested that I buy a metal detector. After looking around the web, I decided to purchase the Treasure Cove Fortune Finder Model TC-3020. The specs and features of the unit were great for the price in comparison to other brands and styles. I paid a little extra for expedited shipping, as I knew time was of the essence. I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived to me on Wednesday. That afternoon I put it together, it was super easy. The kids and I headed to the beach in hopes of finding my ring. I knew it was going to be a long shot, the beach is pretty popular and busy! I went to the general area where we were sitting and turned it on. At first, I had to calibrate the unit, according to the user manual. That was easy enough. I put on the earphones and started moving the detector over the sand. I immediatley got a tone and my son used the handy...Read more

I really enjoy metal detecting, I get to wander around the great outdoors, soak up a little sun, and get a little exercise -- never knowing what I may find. I have found coins and jewelry at the beach and this detector has PAID FOR ITSELF a few times over!!!!!!!!

I am an avid "Treasure" hunter and when I broke my old metal detector I thought I would buy a new detecter as a Father's Day gift to me. After reading the reviews on various sites, including here at Amazon, I decided to get this one. This one had a good price and had many of the features I was looking for.

I have used it many times and love it. It beeps clearly when the type of metal I am hunting is found. I think people sometimes get confused that metal detecting isn't like hunting for a radioactive object, constantly emitting detectable radiation, like "you are getting warmer or cooler", it beeps when it finds metal. You do need patience the first few times you use it, because you need to set the...Read more

My 9 year old wanted a metal detector for christmas. I searched and looked at several brands. All the ones that seemed like they would be really good were priced retail around $400.00 and up which was more than i wanted to spend for his first one. i found this one listed on Amazon and it showed it was normally 400 and change but on sale for much less so I bought it thinking it should be really good. The detector itself is pretty good and picks items up about 8 to 9 inches down, however the head phones are cheap and dont fit well. The carry case is fine and the sand scoop is as well. The biggest complaint I have with this is that the directions are NOT very good. It is fine on how to assemble, but if you have no experience on using a detector ( we didn't ) it does a lousy job taking you through the process of showing you how to use the 3 mode features that give off different tones. If the directions had been well thought out and a lot more in depth then I would probably be saying this...Read more
