The HunTonnix V2 detects all common metals including gold, silver, bronze, copper, brass, aluminium, iron, and steel. In All Metal mode, it alerts on everything. In DISC mode, you can filter out ferrous metals to focus on valuable targets.

Maximum depth of 180mm applies to quarter-sized targets in all-metal mode with optimal conditions. Larger objects like cans detect deeper whilst smaller items detect at shallower depths. Actual depth varies with soil mineralisation and moisture content.

Yes, the search coil is fully waterproof and can be submerged in shallow water up to the stem connection point. However, keep the control housing dry as it is NOT waterproof. Beach detecting along surf lines is perfectly suitable.

No, headphones are not included. The detector has a built-in speaker for audio alerts and a 3.5mm headphone jack for optional headphones. Standard earbuds or over-ear headphones work perfectly and significantly extend battery life.

The HunTonnix V2 requires two 9V batteries (not included). Battery life varies by usage: approximately 20-30 hours with headphones, 10-15 hours using the built-in speaker. Standby current is 10mA, maximum operating current is 70mA.

The mechanical pointer indicates signal strength—stronger deflection suggests larger or shallower targets. In DISC mode, ferrous metals are filtered out, so alerts likely indicate non-ferrous valuables. Experience teaches you to interpret subtle audio tone variations.

Absolutely. The HunTonnix V2 is beginner-friendly with simple controls: mode selection, sensitivity adjustment, and volume control. The included user manual explains basic operation. Most users find valuable targets within their first few outings.

Yes, the adjustable stem accommodates children as short as approximately 4'6". The lightweight design won't cause fatigue. Adult supervision is recommended for young children, both for safety and to teach proper detecting etiquette and laws.
