How deep can it detect?

The maker rates detection depth at about 6 inches, with circuitry sensitive enough to flag faint signals around 5.9 inches. That covers surface coins and shallow relics, not deep buried targets.

Can I use it in the water?

The 6-inch search coil is IP68 sealed, so it can be swept over wet sand, surf edges and rainy ground. Only the coil is waterproof; keep the control housing and battery compartment dry.

What battery does it take?

It runs on a standard DC 9V battery. Carry a spare for long sessions, since there is no rechargeable pack.

The handle telescopes from 22.8 to 33.8 inches, so teens and adults can set a comfortable sweep height. It is not a child-sized detector.

What comes in the box?

The detector and a digging shovel are included. You supply the 9V battery.

Does it tell coins from trash?

No. It gives an audio signal without target ID numbers or discrimination modes, so you dig most signals to find out what they are.

Our take on the Hongge High Accuracy Metal Detector with IP68 Waterproof Coil

The Hongge is a beginner-priced stick metal detector with a 6-inch search coil rated IP68, so it can be swept over wet sand, surf edges and damp ground. It runs at 5.8 kHz and claims detection depth around 6 inches, with circuitry tuned to flag faint signals from small gold and jewelry. The handle telescopes from 22.8 to 33.8 inches to fit teens and adults, and it runs on a standard 9V battery. Against hobby detectors from Garrett, Minelab and Nokta, it lacks discrimination modes, target ID numbers and ground balance, so it suits casual beach and park hunting rather than serious relic work.
