Good God, I was tired of searching for information on this detector. After "Duck Duck Go" led me to your door, I not only found all the info I needed to make a buying decision, I found someone that I can respect and someone whom I truly enjoyed listening to. I found your review insightful, technically accurate and VERY helpful. I go from here to Amazon to make a purchase based on your review. I only wish I could actually come Treasure Hunting with you... Teaser. [Loved the tag on your review by the way, I know what your cat was saying... LOL]
thanks for doing this experiment, I was thinking about it too, asking myself the result in moist soil, as I'm a scuba diver... anyway, wonderful tool for a decent price :) keep up the good work Tom
Great review!! Thanks for the test footage
Currently using mine on holiday in Tenerife,only found bottle tops,glasses and various foil but it works very well and it has no problem finding items upto 5inches deep so far....
Thanks for the great review and the great experiment 👍👌👊
Im ordering this because of YOU THANKS
Hello Folks and Thank you Tom for your vid.
Now I am going to have to warn all new and old detectorist about ANY PI Detector that are like this one. I have purchased two of them. First one died not because I was not careful ( making sure the cap is tightened well BEFORE entering the water) but because the motor inside and on top of the pc board is way to strong for the "U" shaped vibrating piece. So what occurs is that you have already used it and the motor for the vibrator piece stops buzzing. Now you are only looking at the LED light flashing when you detect a piece of metal.
So what do you do. I am going to explain it here.
1. Take out battery 2. Looking into the battery compartment you will see a black and a red wire attached to the positive and negative clip that holds the 9 volt battery. Looking past the wires you will see a piece of rubber black in color. 3. Gently pull out the black rubber until it is out side of the pvc. 4. When you have pulled out the black rubber on the other side of the black rubber is the pc board. On top of the pc board you will see the Vibrating motor and the "U" shaped vibrator. 5. On this pc board with the motor and U shape, you will have to remove the solder that the motor has on the legs, and then re solder the legs. 6. Apply Hot glue to ONLY the motor, NOT the "U" Shape vibrator. 7. Do not place the pc board back into the pvc pipe yet until you have re placed the battery and stand it up so that it will turn on. 8. Test the unit by placing anything metal near it and look at the motor to see if it is now vibrating left to right. If it is add more hot glue wait until dry and test again.9. Once you test and don't see the motor moving from left to right then reinsert the wires, pc board the rest of the wires, but leave out the clip for the battery. 10. Add the rubber back into the the pipe until it rest at the small protruding pvc ring at the bottom. The rubber has a cut in it so that your black and red wire will be secure so that you don't pull it off the pc board, so make sure that the wires are in the slice on the black rubber that has been pushed back in place. 11. Insert battery and have fun. Please send these instructions to others as if you know of someone that has one of these style units. The motor is too fast for the U shape and trembles the soldered feet off the board of the motor and that is why the vibration stops. I now will be buying my third. The first two worked great. First one died because I did not know about the soldering bit. So I used it with only LED light. Then gave it away. Second I purchased and found out about the vibration of the motor and solder loosening so I got it fixed and then one day got to excited (it happens) and did not tighten the cap by hand tighten only spec. Water got in it and good by. Have fun.
Thanks to you now I know how to turn it on.
this review is all i need... thanks tom =) new sub here =)
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for leaving a comment and subscribing ✌🏼😁
I just bought one today too. I am going to use an area where remains of the Roman Empire have been found. I'll probably upload a video if I find something interesting. Thanks for the tips
Popsking - I’m glad to hear that you found the video helpful. The iKing 750 is a great little device and I have no doubt that you’ll have a lot of fun using it. Whereabouts is this area of Roman Empire remains? It sounds like a great place to go detecting! Feel free to check out some of my other metal detecting videos and don’t forget to subscribe to stay up-to-date with my adventures 😁✌🏼
Used my detector for half hour off beach in Hawaii worked great then went to use it next day tipped it up now cannot turn it off without taking battery out poor off and on system any way to fix?
You should have done a couple different sizes of items also being that the ring was fairly small maybe bigger items would be able to be detected deeper
Very nice review my friend from Aussie Metal Detectives
The metal detectives - Cheers mate. Much appreciated 🙌🏼
Thanks I would of like to seen how far it detects gold
Thanks mate great review
Phillip Anderson - Cheers mate. Much appreciated.
I would have liked to see your test done using a standard washer, penny or dime but good enough. I have ordered one. Been suing a 1280X for years and it is getting old.
i own a pl-iking metal detector ,first time work ok,second time the led light blinking continues but not starts,,i change batery but still the same..any help??
Hey there,
Wish you could help me.
I’m looking around for a metal detector for quite a while and couldn’t decide which detector to buy, as there are many brands and they are all look the same. I’m looking for a one that wouldn’t stop working after a while. Can you please send me the link from where you bought the detector from?
And is yours still working well? Thanks so much! (The link you send isn’t specific for the brand)
What was the results with wet sand?
Does it detect small gold earrings? can you make a video of it detecting small gold jewels?
I am using the same device and its vibration is turned off how can I turn it on?
What should I buy to find gold ?
Thank you !
Great thanks
Why at my country sell brand pi-iking only? Not have kkmoon?
After 3 years, is your pi still working? Mine has lost vibration.
hey how is it going with this metal detector i did not know if i should buy it because a lot of people had positive review and some say that it stopped working in 15 seconds under water how is it going with you???
Looks a good machine that
Got one today 😀
Mike Hunt - Great stuff, mate. Where are you planning to use it for the first time? Let me know how it goes ✌🏼
Bonito design, à prova dágua, 100% funcional mas...curta distância
Does it work in salt water? How deep the water? Hoping to buy before the end of this month.
Euchan - Yep, the iKing 750 works in salt water with no issues. I often take mine diving at the beach and in salt water estuaries (check out some of my other videos). The device is depth-rated for around 30metres (100 feet). I’ve used mine at 20metres and had no problems or leaks. Great to hear that you’re interested in getting one for yourself - They’re an awesome device and I highly recommend them. Feel free to check out the purchase links in the video description for more information ✌🏼
Hey bro. There is a large variance in prices on eBay. Which suppliers are legit versus knockoffs?
Attila the Humble - Hey mate! Great question. It took me a while to get my head around the marketing of this product, and to be honest it’s still a little confusing. The truth of the matter is that iKing 750 is a pretty entry level metal detector with a very generic design and build - If you do your research you’ll find a variety of brands, such as KKMoon and Vibra, who have tried to lay claim to the product by putting their brand name on it, but essentially they are all the same device. My suggestion would be to not get caught up in thinking that you’re getting a better product for a higher price (I have no doubt they are all made in the same factory). I opted to buy one of the cheaper ones on eBay and it works just as well as the one that my friend bought from a shop for nearly twice the price. I hope this helps - Let me know if you have any other questions ✌🏼
Had it leaked water through?
Thanks. :D
Laszlo Losonczi - No problem, mate. Thanks for taking the time to comment - I hope you found the video useful.
Just tried it out in Hawaii. In the salt water, i was getting tons of single pulse false positives. As I would run the detector back over the spot, I got nothing.
How do I seal the end of the detector? It does not seal where the battery goes in
805 CoastLife - The end of the device has a tension screw which creates a seal using a foam-lined plug. You can see this plug at 3:14 in my review video ✌🏼
Thank you I git it now I appreciate it
Thanks for the review! How did this actually go underwater?
ash lee - Thanks for the comment. I’ve taken the iKing750 on a couple of scuba dives so far (average depth approx. 10m). There have been absolutely no issues - It’s watertight and fully functional. Feel free to subscribe and stay tuned to my channel, I’ll be uploading some underwater test videos in the near future ✌🏼
+Tom Papworth beautiful! Thanks!
The Adventurist - Absolutely, I would have no hesitation in recommending this device to anyone interested. It’s cheap, functional and effective 🙌🏼
Hi Tom, I just ordered one. I am however a bit nervous about all the posts I have seen online about the Pl-iKing 750 arriving broken or breaking shortly after arrival. It looks like most of the trouble stems from leakage. I plan to hook up a small airbrush compressor to mine when it arrives charge it to about 3 atm and then check the joints with dishwashing soap just to make sure the seals are good. So, how well is yours holding up? Does it still work?
PS... Have you checked out this video about increasing the sensitivity??? th-cam.com/video/ZfkR6zBHdOQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey mate,
My iKing is still going strong. Have used it countless times without any leaks, but I’m always mindful of checking the end plug to ensure it’s properly attached. I have a few mates that now have these detectors and none of them have reported any leakage problems. Nevertheless, I’m sure there are a few lemons that make it out of the factory - So an initial look over wouldn’t hurt. Enjoy your new detector - I’m confident you’ll be impressed with the functionality of this relatively cheap device. Also, yes - I’ve seen that signal hack before. I’m keen to test it out, but given that I mainly use mine for scuba diving, I don’t particularly see the need to boost the detection strength. Thanks for the comment - Keep me updated with how yours goes ✌🏼
@@TomPapworth Hi Tom. Well, the PI-iKing arrived today. I heated a champagne cork in the microwave, drilled a hole down the middle and hot-glued a nipple from my airbrush compressor into it. It fits perfectly into the battery chamber. I secured the cork and charged the inside to 2 bar (28psi for the yanks) and brushed the connections down with washing up liquid. It's all airtight!
Looking at the rubber bung seal, That really needs improvement. It is a disaster waiting to happen. I have a plan to improve it and will film it all and post it after the weekend.
hey my metal detecter just stop vibrating and i didnt even used it should i try another battery or...
what should i do?
Mayorka, inside the battery compartment is a plastic separator. It can be pulled out. Behind that is a circuit board . In the middle of the board in a small motor just a few mm wide and maybe 2 cm long. It is attached to the board with hot glue. If the glue comes loose, the motor breaks the moves and the soldering breaks. You can remount the motor with hot glue and solder the wires back (if the connection points are still ok) or replace the motor. ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1tThVrA9WBuNjSspeq6yz5VXaG.jpg
@@BScottGould how do you pull out the separator?
by the wires?
No No. Dont do that. I am not 100% sure. I saw the repair being done on a youtube video. Sady it was in Russian (which I don't speak) and he may have said how to remove it but I am not sure. It appears to be just a plastic cup that is simply pushed into place. I will see if I can find the video and post a link.
In the mean time... Fine holidays to everyone.
@@b.scottgould thank you!
@@mayorka I found the link.
th-cam.com/video/I_JSiccow-A/w-d-xo.html
I am not sure if it will play for you. if not search for Pi-iking repair.
the guy in the film shows a separate detector with the plug removed but doesn't show how he removed it. By the look it seems to be a 2nd block of the same rubber used on the end but with a different hole.
How much did u pay for it pls 💰 uk(pounds)
the main thing you did not show is does it work on gold, as there is anther one on the market that does not.
I have one.
It works on all metals.
@@leoncutajar1369 thanks so much lol
So I bought my first ever detector just like this one. It was ok until i submerged it in a bowl of water, it won't detect a necklace but only a penny. And here i was expecting to detect rings.
Why is that?
Why is there no underwater pearl detector?
I have bought one as well
Prowork Haakan - Good to hear, mate. Happy hunting! 🔊👌🏼 Let me know what you think after testing it out.
Exactly where?
Vjjc Johug - Purchase links can be found in the video description ✌🏼
How much in Malaysia money?
Hopefully on holiday in 🇩🇴 Dom republic
Mike Hunt - Awesome. Let me know if you have any success. Thanks for commenting. Feel free to subscribe to stay up-to-date with my treasure hunting adventures ✌🏼
how was the PI-iKing in Dominican? Perform as expected? Looking to buy for December trip diving. Appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks
Is it worth it ?
I bought the same product, does the vibration not work solution ?
Thanks for commenting. Sounds like a faulty unit - Best to return and replace.
@@TomPapworth thanks :(
Cool Song,what is the name,any body know?
Charles Clark - Song name and details are available in the video description ✌🏼
Cool Thank you.
Does ist work till tiday?
Ertugrul Kazan - Sure does. I’ve taken it on numerous dives and beach adventures and the device is still working perfectly after months of use. I’d have no hesitation in recommending this detector to anyone interested. Stay tuned - I’ve gone some videos in production which showcase the iKing 750 in action. Thank you 😄
Tom Papworth and how about now? Still going strong? Thinking of gifting one for hubby for his bday. Great videos btw!
i have the same unit but mine is called VIBRA-TECTOR from Treasure Products a little more money but it detects a ring at 4" all things said as always... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
How much frequency؟
Gh - The frequency of the device is listed as 20.28khz 🔊
@@TomPapworth thanks
I hope some day you come back to casino
👍👍👍
Lucian Catalin Ciolacu - Thanks mate. Feel free to check out some of my other videos featuring the iKing 750 in action.

Hahaha - You’re not the first to make this doppelgänger comparison! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🤙🏼
How much is cost?
Emely Pinantao - Thanks for the comment. I’ve put a purchase link in the video description 😁
Where did this guy get a perfect bucket of 3inch sand
Where did you order this???
Texas Forever - Thanks for taking the time to comment. The online purchase link can be found in the Video Description. Let me know if you have any other questions ✌🏼
@@TomPapworth thanks brother I just ordered one. Ive been magnet fishing a lot and always been sketchy about buying a metal detector but your video gave me the confidence to buy one 👍
Texas Forever - Thanks, mate. I’m confident you’ll love it. They’re a great device - Happy hunting. P.S. I also do some magnet fishing. Feel free to check out the video on my channel 🧲 🎣
TO SMALL...LOOKS LITTLE CHEAP😂but you did a good job😊
Payed $90 AUD for mine
Nice smile
Tom Papworth Do you have a Facebook or other social I can DM you? I have some more questions for you. Thanks,
real shit! at a depth of 2-3 meters, he took water into the compartment with brains and died without working even five minutes. The battery compartment was dry. wasted money and ruined mood.
th-cam.com/video/JqwEgGjt0fg/w-d-xo.html Here is my test tom.
And GOLD RING ??????? TEST GOLD RING !!!!!!!!!!!!
How tf can you review a underwater detector without even taking it underwater....
Could be a good video, but the music ruins it
Thanks for the feedback 😁 Finding appropriate royalty-free music is always tricky. I personally like the track, but I can understand how it might not be everyone’s taste - I hope you got something from the video regardless.
And that is one man's opinion... I personally thought the music was fitting a sense of "Exploration"... LOL @@TomPapworth
2.5 is very poor👎
While I wouldn't say the depth range is impressive, I do think it's satisfactory in relation to the nature of this device. I think it is important to remember that this is a relatively cheap, compact and basic detector that is completely submergible - As a scuba diver, it definitely ticks the boxes for my shallow-level treasure hunting and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. Thanks for watching - I appreciate your comment.
