SUNPOW Kids Metal Detector MD20 — Adjustable Stem 23.6"–27.6" with Waterproof Coil & Animated LED Screen

The SUNPOW Kids Metal Detector MD20 is a lightweight, kid-friendly treasure-hunting kit with an animated LED screen, waterproof search coil, adjustable stem, and shovel, ready for beach, park, or backyard adventures.

Packed with playful visuals and simple one-button operation, this detector turns exploration into a game that keeps children engaged while they learn about discovery and nature. Designed for ages 6–12, the MD20 balances durability and ease-of-use: it’s made from shock-resistant ABS plastic, includes a sealed coil for splashy conditions, and fits growing kids with an adjustable 23.6"–27.6" stem.

How does the animated display make finds more fun?

The LED screen shows a cheerful treasure animation when metal is detected, turning every beep into an exciting moment. That visual reward helps hold attention and encourages longer, repeat play during outings.

• Cartoon bones animation triggers on detection for instant feedback
• Bright display also indicates battery level so play won’t stop unexpectedly
• Visual cues help non-readers and younger kids understand results quickly

Can children use this on wet sand, shallow water, or muddy spots?

The MD20 includes a waterproof search coil so kids can sweep through wet sand, puddles, and shallow streams; however, the control box should be kept dry to protect electronics. The sealed coil tolerates splashes and damp ground for more varied hunting locations.

• Waterproof coil suitable for beach and shallow-water searches
• Control box is water-sensitive—avoid submersion and heavy spray
• Rugged coil construction resists dirt and mud for easy cleanup

Is the size and weight suitable for growing children?

The stem adjusts from 23.6" to 27.6" (60–70 cm) so the detector adapts as children grow, and the overall weight is only about 1.24 lbs. This low weight and simple height adjustment make the MD20 comfortable for long hunts without tiring young arms.

• Adjustable stem fits ages roughly 6–12 years
• Lightweight build minimizes fatigue during extended play
• Easy twist-lock or slide adjustment for quick resizing in the field

What tools and accessories are included in the kit?

The MD20 kit arrives ready for action with child-safe digging tools and a storage bag so everything travels neatly to the beach, park, or backyard. Tools are designed with rounded edges and durable plastic to withstand rough play while keeping safety in mind.

• Plastic shovel and rake sized for small hands and safer digging
• Drawstring carry bag keeps detector and tools together between outings
• Includes a 9V battery to start exploring immediately

Who is this for? The SUNPOW MD20 is ideal for parents, grandparents, and teachers looking for an engaging, outdoor STEM-style toy that encourages physical activity and curiosity. It fits children who enjoy beach days, park trips, or backyard play, and is well suited to beginners who need a simple, forgiving device with visual rewards. If you want a lightweight, adjustable metal detector that combines playfulness with practical features—waterproof coil, animated LED, and a starter kit of safe tools—this model is an excellent choice for kids ages 6–12 who are ready to start treasure hunting.
