Product Description

The Bounty Hunter Junior T.I.D. Metal Detector is designed specifically for young treasure hunters just starting their journey into metal detecting. Lightweight and easy to use, it introduces kids to the excitement of discovery with intuitive features and real-world performance. Its standout feature is the visual Target-ID display, which helps beginners instantly recognize different types of metal.


Equipped with three-tone audio and a digital display, the Junior T.I.D. offers clear identification of ferrous and non-ferrous targets. The depth indicator helps estimate how deep an object is buried—up to 6 inches for coin-sized items. Its discrimination mode allows users to filter out unwanted junk like nails and bottle caps, while still detecting valuable metals like coins and jewelry. The unit uses VLF technology and proportional audio feedback for accurate targeting and user-friendly detection.


Built for outdoor adventures, this detector features a durable, adjustable shaft suited for growing users and a padded grip for added comfort. It runs on two AA batteries and includes a low-battery indicator for uninterrupted fun. The weather-resistant design and simple one-button controls make it ideal for children to use confidently in a variety of environments.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this metal detector suitable for young children?

    Yes! The Junior T.I.D. is designed specifically for kids with a lightweight build (1.5 lbs / 0.68 kg), simple controls, and an adjustable shaft to fit smaller users.

    Can it identify different types of metals?

    Absolutely. It features a 3-category Target ID system and 3-tone audio that helps kids distinguish between iron, mid-range conductors (like aluminum or nickel), and high-value metals (like copper and silver coins).

    How deep can it detect?

    It can detect coin-sized objects up to 6 inches deep, with a visual depth indicator to help kids understand how far down to dig.

    Is it waterproof?

    The searchcoil is waterproof, so it can be used in shallow water like puddles or wet sand. However, the control box is not waterproof, so avoid heavy rain or submerging the device.

    Is it difficult to use for beginners?

    Not at all. It’s plug-and-play—just install two AA batteries, press a single button to turn it on, and start detecting. The LCD display and tones make it intuitive for kids to understand.

    Does it come with discrimination features to avoid junk metals?

    Yes, it includes basic discrimination settings so kids can eliminate unwanted metals like nails or bottle caps and focus on more interesting finds.

    What type of batteries does it use, and how long do they last?

    It uses 2 AA alkaline batteries, which provide about 20–25 hours of use. Rechargeable NiMH batteries are also compatible.
