The SUNPOW MD02 Metal Detector Review - A Beginners Machine Guide for Metal Detecting
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- Last year I dug $186.43 in modern coins alone. Now this doesn't include silver coins, old coins, foreign coins, or coins not made anymore. It also doesn't include all the rings, buttons, buckles, colonial artifacts, or other relics I found; just the modern coins you could roll up and schlep to the bank, $186.43.
I tell you this because metal detecting might seem like an expensive hobby to get into up front, but it's a hobby that over time can easily pay for itself and then some. But in case you can't afford a $1,000 machine, a $500 machine, or even a $300 machine; I scoured the internet to track down every machine I can get my hands on that retails for $186.43 or less so I can do a review and go over the features on it so you can see what different machines are out there that each cost less than what an average detectorist can make back in modern coins alone in just one year! Some will be well worth the money, but others just might not get you there.
This weeks review will feature the SUNPOW MD02 detector and I'll show you everything that comes in the box and how to put it together. We'll dive into all the settings, check out its depth, and see everything else it has to offer. I wish it luck and hope it's good enough to make the cut, but any machine is still better than no machine.

These reviews are so important for people with little time and money to waste. Thank you so much!
I actually purchased this detector before I came across your review. The open air test was interesting. With having used this machine for 3 weeks now I can say that it definitely detects deeper. I have pulled coins over 6” deep many times. What blew my mind was pulling a small nail, and I mean small. For the price and for a beginner it’s great. The manual sucks. The batteries, 8!, kinda sucks. Thanks for the reviews love the channel.
Wow, interesting design for the control box, was hoping for more out of this one. Thanks for trying it out Jason!
you're to reluctant to say this is a piece of junk, dont be .. we like to hear that
Next time you are in the fields the first person to dig a silver has to use this machine the rest of the day lol.
Loving this series’s, great assessments!
This machine doesn't measure up to the one last week, the Striker Z60. As long as your target is on the surface, you're good. (lol) Good test and review. You definitely can save someone the disappointment and frustration. Keep it up.
Thanks for this! My wife just got me one of these for Christmas as my first detector. I will use it for all it's worth, and I appreciate you taking the time for a quick tutorial on this product. I was getting frustrated with the manual too. She got it on the Cyber Monday sale off of Amazon for $104.
Please share what's the better upgrade then this cause I to was gifted this one
My friend says it's the best for the price, but he hasn't bought one yet! Thanks for the honest review!
Mickey Mouse ears - I cannot unsee it now !!
Just started watching brother but I always end up forgetting to comment and I wanted to make sure I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season💪🤠👍
Great review, 5" don't seem to good in my opinion.
Really enjoy you doing these low priced detectors. This one really is low end detector.
I got one of their other versions that was more money. After the second time I used it, the LCD panel went berserk and would not work at all when I pressed the buttons to change the modes. When it was working, this thing was grunting and making weird noises and the the pinpointer function was not accurate at all. They are sending me a new one.
Wow! So basically if the coins are not on the surface you are completely wasting your time. Thanks for this review.
I really love these videos
i just bought this same one had no clue how to work it for get the instrustions im brand new at metal detection you complettley helped a lot on how to use my new metal dectator thank you
What a coincidence . I am moving to Vietnam soon and I'm wanting to get into detecting there . I don't have a clue on what to buy starting out or how to use the gear . Your vids on begginers detectors are what I needed ! I hope you are able to give an opinion on which machine you wish you had when beginning . Thank you so much for taking the time to help us beginners . Thank you to all that watch your vids that are experienced and find the vids not useful but understand that the vids are useful to people like myself .
Thank you Jason and thank you to your subs that are helpful to us newbies .
Happy Holidays Jason
Thank you for your video. This is the one I'm stuck with currently. I've read that the coil wire may be the problem with detection. Would it be possible to upgrade the capability of this coil with a better wire? I'm so new to this so any suggestions are appreciated. (Reminder: I'm stuck with this model for the forseable future. Can't get a new one passed through the "Budget Committee" if you know what I mean)
Merry Christmas Jason
Thank you for this video. I ordered one that came in today I was looking for how to use it. Looks like my granddaughter is getting this for her birthday. I got a good deal on it a coupon. Got it for $75.
that machine reminds me of my radio shake metal detector that Found a tree, after I realized it wouldn't register my ring I just threw on the ground, lolz. My brother had just found several 1700's coins in same spot I had been hunting ) ; Glad I wrapped it around a tree as went out and bought my AT Pro, and later the Nox ( ;
my best friend gave this metal detector for Christmas. It works very well, and we have great fun...This morning we found a piece of militaria in a field...
it works well ? i guess you havent tested a real metal detector then, because trust me if you do , this one is going in the trash
Only reaching 3-4 “😐 8 AA batteries 😑 You surely are doing the future detectorists a great service.🙂
Gr8t i just got one of these about 3wks ago. Still having fun with it. Gotta start somewhere.
Same
Same here. It was a gift. Just like everything I will find 4in deep.
Was about to buy this very one until I saw your video. I really appreciate the great review and links you shared to what seem to be really good detectors. Learned a lot!
I like this can’t wait till u find a reasonable priced one that works good
Love, love Magic Mike! He's the best!
I bought one these,as I found the design different ? Turned out to be defective,so it got returned. Do you have a Quest X5 in your lineup of cheap detectors ? If not you should definitely get one ! It's around $149.00 on Amazon. I have one,and it's a phenomenal little detector for the money ! I believe it will beat anything in that price range,that you put it up against,with the possible exception of a Simplex + ?
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and yours. Keep the great videos coming ! Dan in Arkansas.
Good morning everyone, stay safe and God bless! In the coin testing, it might be even less in inches with sand, dirt, soil, gravel or stones between the object and the coil.
My girlfriend got one of these for Valentine’s Day for me. I am completely new and hope it is worth learning with there’s no way I’m gonna invest hundreds and hundreds of dollars and something I don’t even know if I’ll enjoy. Hope it works on the beach!
I'm getting into prospecting up in Mariposa/Calaveras/Tuolumne counties. I've discovered great country with tons of potential but due to 4 kids on a budget. I feel a metal detector will be a game changer, which do u suggest for under 200$?? Will be red clay, granite, volcanic rocks etc I'd be searching through in old dry river beds
What would you recommend as a good metal detector for gold and silver at a decent depth? I live close to some beaches and I would love to take my son out for some treasure hunting. I don't want to regret my first purchase and I am wanting something that's good quality . Thanks for any recommendations
Thanks for sharing
Interested in buying the Vevor TS185A. Have you reviewed this unit or know anything about it. Thanks
Jason, have you ever done a review of the latest Garrett Apex? I’ve seen a lot of detector channels, where they’ve tested that machine in the field, but never actually give their opinion. I know that they are way over the price range that you’re reviewing, but am interested to know your opinion.
Is there a better beginner priced detector in your opinion? I'm on Okinawa and have a chance to find some war relics.
Thanks! Misteriously this terrible item - that I sadly bought- has AWESOME reviews everywhere on e-commerce sites. Go find out...
The get paid for those reviews, or free products for reviewing. Most of the 5 star reviews are bogus.
I totally thought in your intro you said court order here I was like wow his parents must have really had issues
Can anyone recommend a good detector for around the £200 mark? Want something that has a deeper range than 4 to 5 inches. Looked at this one, but it seems awful.
I started with a Dr otek..and it was a pretty good cheap detector..now I have a nokta simplex and it's night and day..I will probably upgrade when I find enough stuff to justify a legend.
Can you do a review of the Dr Otek MT-XR?
I have that detector and I absolutely adore it. I did videos on it, but they are not professional like this guy's video. It is a great beginner machine and very easy to use.
What would be the absolute best inexpensive metal detector with pinpointer you would recommend?
I highly recommend the Dr. Otek MT-XR. It is a really good beginner's detector
Well... it's a cheapo, and my first metal detector. I'll head to the beach and see if I enjoy the hobby enough to upgrade
Thank you for this review… you explained this very well…such a shame about the depth indicator.
Have you tried the skio maybe ski tx-940 ?
Thanks man
I’ve just bought one I think I will watch you with it first lol I’m from the uk different coins I will figure it out I hope lol
A just got one of these too hopefully il learn with it then buy a good one
hola y el manuel para calibrarlo ? detecta oro a que profundidad?
You say 5 maybe 6 inches.... But then again "THEY" say we're not good with measurements.... Lol
way better review on last machine.
I would be disappointed if i got that machine great test to show what it can do.
What was the last machine you tested?
Should be called the Sunpoo!
How did you make the disc stable?
We just got my son this one for his birthday but the disc is really loose
You probably figure it out by now but if not I had this issue and it’s the rubber washers at the bottom part where you screw the disc on. They go on the inside not the outside
@@swishask8875 thank you 😊
Just sayin': "Moving too quickly will compromise depth and can cause you to miss weak signals or cut short the duration of a good signal. An average sweep guideline is 2-5 seconds from right to left to right. You can also measure your sweeps as your walk forward in a straight line moving 2-5 feet per second.Oct 1, 2020".
I will agree on the fact that the manual and instructions were poorly written though!!!
Thanks for the sunpow md02 review. Appreciated. I am not sure if it would find anything underground if open air scan it’s an average of 3.5 inches
I bought a Dr Oltag, maybe not spelled right, but it was a joke worked ok for about a month and now it false alarms everywhere.
😂WAW I WAS ABAUT TO GAT ONE FORGAT THEAT. CRAP .😂TANKS 🇺🇸💪
Hell almost every tuber you see when he is detecting in the field use's the AT, but I dont understand why. I have had one but I sold it. Its just a status symbol for tuber guys now when ya think about it. Detectors that cost half as much are just as good and some are even better now a days. The machine I settled on currently is the quest X10pro for daily use. It was over 200 cheaper and does everything just as good as my Garrett AT did. Should put your garrett AT up against some of these cheaper detectors make it prove its worth all the extra money. I mean yes some are pay for what ya get but some are going to give it a run for the money...just sayin and I been at it for 50yrs started with a bounty hunter and a coin master and it grew from there. But in the end I guess its all opinion.
I want to get me one of them
Can you test the minelab vanquish 540
For now I’m trying to focus this series on beginner machines priced under $200. I’ll be doing the Vanquish 340 model eventually which is the 540’s little brother.
@@QuarterHoarder sorry my brother just trying to suggest machines but I'm sure you've checked it out what are you opinions on it
👊🎅👊
If you're trying to find your aluminum boat in the backyard at night, you MIGHT find it...then again, no backlit screen so....maybe it's the neighbors Buick???
I was looking at the fisher f22 detector and my girlfriend came in with this sunpow Detector . After watching ur video I’m going to buy the Fisher detector and just not say anything. Nobody’s feelings want be hurt and I want get Cut off from the Honey 🤷♂️
I wish I saw this video before buying one :/
POOP! Should be called Sunpoo!
Pumpkin orange. Treat it like a pumpkin and smash that garbage.
🤦♂️ should have watched this before I bought this machine. Just got it today, a little disheartened but its my first machine. Might just send it back and spend a little more money on a better one
What did you end up doing? I’m in the EXACT same situation now. It’s arriving tomorrow 🤦🏼♀️
Depth is because of crappy little thin coil wire.
The Garrett Apex is almost as good as this, same color too .
3 ore di ppublicita x sentire l'audio in inglese del ca...
There aren’t a whole lot of better detectors for the price to be honest
Вот это Шляпа, профессора жаль профессор уехал 😂
Not worth the price for the hassle and poor performance! Your 1 1/2 was being way to nice guy.
Different controler lol
?? 1 1/2 your generous
Yikes😬
I got one of those crappy chineese machines sold on Amazon for review. Not accepting those anymore, not worth a review.
The Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker Can do better than that
I do have some Bounty Hunter machines coming up. I’m trying to show as many machines under $200 as possible, even if some aren’t as good as others.
Crappo-junko... i'd save the extra cash and purchase a working machine.
