We’ve all seen them on the beach or in the park, swinging their metal detector back and forth in search of jewelry or coins or who knows what hidden just below the surface. And be honest: haven’t you wished you had one, too? So, odds are someone in your life has too. 

This unexpected gift is a great idea for lots of different people, especially those tough-buy-for folks who seem to have everything. Maybe you have a husband who loves gadgets. Or a dad, uncle, or brother who is into history or techy stuff . Or perhaps it’s a teenage kid you wish would get more fresh air.

The X-Terra Pro finds anything metal, even through water, snow, iron-rich soil, and magnetic minerals. Right out of the box, just set it to match the terrain–it has park, field, and beach modes–and you’re ready to start making discoveries. It’s waterproof to 16 feet (more than anyone could need, I’d imagine) and loaded with features to geek-out over, like five-audio modes, control pod flashlight, and handgrip vibration. 

Minelab specializes in treasure detectors. They have a ton of options at different prices, with the X-Terra being the solid pick for a new hobbyist. Good luck!
