Is the whole detector waterproof or just the coil?

The search coil is IP68 waterproof, so it can be swept over wet ground, puddles and the shallow edge of a creek. The control housing and shaft are not rated for submersion, so keep those out of the water.

How deep will it detect?

The 8.9 x 11.2 inch coil reaches targets about 10 inches down. Depth varies with target size, soil and how the sensitivity is set.

Will it fit a tall user?

The telescoping ABS shaft adjusts from 41 to 55 inches, a 14 inch range. That is long enough for most adults to swing without stooping.

What comes in the box?

The detector and a pair of headphones. Adult assembly is required before the first hunt.

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes. Five simplified search modes and a single 5.8 kHz frequency keep setup and operation plain. Experienced hunters wanting deeper targets or detailed target ID will outgrow it.

Can it tell me what metal I've found?

It gives audio feedback in the 800 to 1000 Hz range across its five modes, but it does not offer the detailed target ID or discrimination of higher-end multi-frequency machines.

Our take on the Hongge 10-Inch Waterproof Metal Detector

The Hongge is a beginner-oriented stick metal detector built around a single 5.8 kHz frequency and an 8.9 x 11.2 inch search coil rated to reach targets about 10 inches down. Its coil is IP68 waterproof, so wet grass, puddles and the shallow edge of a creek are fair game, and the telescoping ABS shaft spans 41 to 55 inches so tall users don't have to stoop. Five simplified search modes and included headphones keep the learning curve short. Against multi-frequency rivals it gives up depth and target ID detail, but it is simpler to run and needs no tuning to get started.
