RM RICOMAX Kids Metal Detector – 7.4" Waterproof Coil, 24–35" Adjustable Stem, Lightweight Yellow

Designed to make outdoor exploration simple and safe, this yellow RM RICOMAX detector combines a larger coil for quicker ground coverage, a clear LCD readout with audible alerts, and a compact, foldable design that fits young searchers. The detector’s ABS plastic body and waterproof coil let families explore parks, beaches, and backyards without fuss, while the telescoping stem grows with the child for longer use.

How does the 7.4" waterproof coil improve treasure hunts?

The 7.4-inch coil increases the sweep area compared with smaller kids’ coils, so users can cover more ground faster and detect shallow targets more reliably. Because the coil and lower stem are waterproof, kids can examine wet sand and damp soil without damaging the detector (screen is not waterproof).

• Larger coil covers more ground per sweep for faster searches
• Detects items buried up to about 4 inches beneath the surface
• Waterproof coil and stem allow use at beaches and muddy spots
• Foldable coil is travel-friendly for day trips and hikes

Is the detector easy and safe for children to use?

Yes—the RM RICOMAX unit uses a single-button operation and a clear LCD that shows an arrow and signal icon when metal is found, plus an audible tone that grows louder as you approach the object. The housing is molded from ABS plastic with rounded edges and a child-friendly profile created by professional designers to suit kids’ tastes.

• One-press start ideal for beginners and short attention spans
• Visual arrow, signal symbol, and volume-change tone for intuitive feedback
• Harmless ABS construction and kid-focused styling
• Lightweight at about 2 lb for comfortable handling

How adjustable and portable is the RM RICOMAX metal detector?

The telescoping stem extends from 24 to 35 inches so it fits both children and smaller adults, extending the life of the device as kids grow. The detector is also easy to fold and store—no tools or complicated assembly required—making it a straightforward option for family outings and travel.

• 24–35" adjustable stem accommodates different heights
• Quick fold/unfold design requires no assembly or extra parts
• Light, compact build for hiking, beach trips, and backyard play
• Battery-powered and ready for immediate use

What detection feedback does the LCD provide?

The built-in LCD displays an arrow and a signal symbol to indicate when metal is nearby; the audio tone increases in volume and strength as the coil gets closer to the target. This combined visual and audible feedback helps children learn to pinpoint finds and distinguish between deeper and shallower targets.

• Clear LCD icons show presence and relative strength of targets
• Audio alert changes in volume as proximity improves
• Simple indicators help beginners learn search technique quickly
• Useful teaching tool for family-led treasure hunts and activities
