About this item

  • TRUE DISCRIMINATION MODE - This metal detector can detect metals including iron, aluminum, gold, bronze, silver and their articles in all-metal mode. Just press the button, you can simply set the target range Up to 7.1’’ inches deep or eliminate the metal you don’t want. Then, you can accurately find the certain metal you want. The crossed frame is for items eliminated and two 9V alkaline batteries are required
  • HIGHER SENSITIVE & WATERPROOF SEARCH COIL - The bigger the search coil is, the higher the sensitivity. The increased size of the search coil to 10 inches makes metal detecting MORE EFFICIENT. And the WATERPROOF stem and coil enable you to use our metal explorer underwater, especially suitable for outdoor activities, on the beach or in the stream. But it is should be noted that the control box is not waterproof
  • MORE INTUITIVE LCD CONTROL BOX - A control box with LCD will simplify your metal detecting a lot. The detection mode, sensitivity level, battery condition, and volume level can be known at a glance. An arrow displayed below the target icon will clearly tell you detecting a object. The depth of the target is also displayed. Compared to the knob and dial, button and LCD are obviously more accurate and convenient
  • P/P FUNCTION & DISTINCTIVE AUDIO PROMPT - There are distinctive audio tones in our metal detector for different types of metal. So after a period of time use, you can tell what type of metal you've detected just by audio tones. And the P/P function enables you to pinpoint a target accurately. Operating steps have been written in the manual which comes with the metal finder. All we have done is let you find the target more easily

Product Description

RM RICOMAX GC-1028:

As the classic model of RM RICOMAX, GC-1028 metal detector is a great tool for both rookies and old hands.

Ready for the journey of treasure detecting? Here are some tips for you:

--- COULDN’T SPOT THE TARGET OBJECT --

The accuracy may be affected by the following factors:

a. The depth of the target. In order to uncover the deeply buried metals, you need to turn up the SENS level. However, metals over 9 inches underground may not be detected.

b. The size of the target. Tiny metals, for instance needles, cannot be easily detected. In this case, you can try to turn up the sensitivity or lower the DISC value.

c. The way you search. You may miss a target if you walk too fast.PLEASE DO DOT SWING THE SEARCH COIL AS IF IT WERE A PENDULUM.

--- THE METAL DETECTOR KEEPS BEEPING ---

a. On highly mineralized land, the detector may keep beeping even if there is no metal. In this case, you can decrease the sensitivity or increase the DISC value on the meter of metal detector. Meanwhile, please keep the search coil a certain distance away from the ground.

b. In the area full of trashy metal, the metal detector may keep beeping. In this case, you can set DISC to 50 and most nails or small pieces of iron will be eliminated.

c. Metallic digging tools will also affect detection if they are near the search coil. So it's better to put them not too close.

Enjoy a good time of treasure hunting with GC-1028 Metal Detector!

Lots of fun to be had
This is a wonderful entry-level option for metal detection. The quality of the materials feels right within the $90-$130 range, and it all comes together pretty easily.In fact, we found ourselves putting this one together before we ever touched the instructions. We didn't bother to read them until it came to getting familiar with the screen. There are only a few pieces to snap together and it's quite straight-forward.Getting comfortable with the screen does take a quick minute, the instructions will get you through it all just fine. It's user-friendly enough that just about anyone could learn how to use this model.It is entry-level though, so don't think this is going to be a solve-all for all of your adventures. Instead, it is a great place to start getting your feet wet (pun slightly intended since it is waterproof up to so many inches).It is mostly accurate, and we made sure by planting a number of test items for it to look for. We knew where they were, so the surprise effect is missing, but it did allow us to get a feel for how well it picks various things up. We haven't taken it to an area for a serious search yet since we have only been playing with it for a few days thus far but will make sure to update on anything else we find.A little skeptical about the review claiming to find a really old and expensive ring on their first try, but you never know. We're happy for them if that was true.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent choice for entry-level metal detecting.
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020
My Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector recently ran into some issues, so I decided to see if I could find a reasonably-priced replacement as this time of year is the best time for metal detecting. This RICOMAX metal detector was the best-priced one I could find that actually included a working LCD screen.

I really like that this metal detector utilizes an LCD panel that actually gives you an estimate about what is it is detecting before you take the time and effort to dig into the ground. The LCD panel is also useful in many other ways, as it gives you a depth estimate and even tells you how your battery life is looking. I especially love that feature as there’s nothing worse than wanting to use a device only to find it is dead.

Setting the detector up was very easy. You really just have to connect a small handful of parts, insert 2 9V batteries, and you’re good to go. The package even contains a small shovel for digging up your loot. A nice touch.

The Bounty Hunter metal detector has an analog discrimination gauge which in all honesty is just a pain to use. I love the discrimination feature that this detector features and have found it to be pretty accurate. It also emits different tones depending on what it detects. I tested out the detector with a few different types of metal, including a gold wedding ring, and was impressed to find that the detector was able to point that out to me. I now know that I have a powerful tool to use if myself or a loved one ever loses a valuable piece of jewelry.
