Using a metal detector as a hobby has seen a resurgence thanks to social media. And if you've been wanting to get started hunting down old coins and knick-knacks, the Pancky starter bundle is the perfect option. It includes everything you need to kickstart your new hobby or rediscover an old interest. And right now at Amazon, you can save 35%, bringing the price to just $110.

The metal detector itself features a water-resistant coil, so you can confidently comb river and creek banks, beaches, and other watery areas without fear of damaging your detector. The coil is powerful enough to detect gold, iron, and other metals buried up to 15 inches deep, and with the Pinpoint search mode, you can quickly zero in on objects so you can spend more time covering an area and less digging random holes.

The entire unit is adjustable from 27 to 51 inches and weighs about 3 pounds, making it a great option for both kids and adults. Other detection modes include All Metal for general searches, Jewelry for gold and silver, and a Memory mode to save your settings for future searches. The Pancky metal detector starter kit includes a pair of over-ear headphones for private listening, a small shovel for recovering objects, and two 9V batteries so you can get started right out of the box.
