RM RICOMAX Kids Metal Detector - Waterproof 7.4" Coil, Adjustable 24–35" Stem, LCD + Vibration

RM RICOMAX Kids Metal Detector is a lightweight, waterproof beginner detector with a 7.4-inch search coil, adjustable 24–35" stem, LCD display, buzzer and vibration feedback designed for safe outdoor treasure hunting.

Designed for children and family outings, this detector balances sensitivity and simplicity so young users can find coins, relics and small metal objects with less fuss. The waterproof coil and foldable stem make it easy to take to parks, beaches and backyards; clear audio and visual alerts help kids learn how proximity affects detection. Built from child-safe ABS plastic and weighing about 2 pounds, the unit focuses on ease of use, portability and durability for beginner treasure hunters.

How does the detector tell kids when they’ve found something?

The RM RICOMAX gives immediate, easy-to-interpret feedback through an LCD screen, buzzer and vibration. An arrow and signal icon appear on screen when metal is detected while audio and vibration grow stronger as the target gets nearer.

• LCD icon shows direction and strength of signal for visual learners.
• Buzzer volume increases with proximity for instant audio confirmation.
• Vibration adds a tactile cue helpful in noisy or windy environments.
• Simple single-button operation reduces confusion for first-time users.

Is the detector suitable for beach and wet conditions?

Yes — the 7.4-inch search coil and adjustable stem are waterproof, so the device tolerates damp sand, shallow puddles and routine outdoor moisture. Note that the control box and display are not waterproof, so avoid submerging the full unit or exposing the screen to heavy spray.

• Waterproof coil enables searching near shorelines and wet grass.
• All-season resistance for backyard, park and beach excursions.
• Foldable coil design simplifies drying and storage after use.
• Keep the control box dry to protect the LCD and electronics.

Can the height be adjusted for different ages and users?

The telescoping stem adjusts from 24 to 35 inches, making the detector comfortable for younger kids and smaller adults. Lightweight construction and an ergonomic hand grip let users search longer with less fatigue.

• 24–35" height range fits most children ages 8–12 and many adults.
• Quick-release adjustments allow fast resizing between users.
• About 2 pounds total weight reduces arm strain during hunts.
• Foldable coil and stem for compact travel and storage.

What comes with the detector and how does it support learning?

The package includes two sand shovels and a carry bag so kids can dig and transport finds immediately. The easy-to-read screen and simple feedback encourage hands-on learning about metal types and how signal strength relates to target size and distance.

• Two child-friendly sand shovels for beach and sandbox digging.
• Carry bag keeps the detector and accessories organized for trips.
• Visual, audio and vibration cues teach cause-and-effect detection skills.
• Durable ABS construction aligns with safety and play requirements.

Who is this for? Families looking for an entry-level metal detector for kids ages roughly 8–12 will appreciate the RM RICOMAX unit’s combination of safety-minded design, waterproof coil, and straightforward controls. It’s also a good pick for adults wanting a compact, travel-friendly detector for casual use, hobbyist practice or as a hands-on learning tool to spark curiosity about history and exploration.
