With its large detection area you can do a fast yet thorough scan. The lightweight design and comfortable handle makes it easy to use for long periods of time. With its adjustable sensitivity this metal detector is ideal for use in airports, schools, prisons, sporting events, etc. It has both audible and vibration alert so it can be used in situations with loud noise such as concerts or nightclubs. It is powered by either a 9 volt battery (not included) and features a low battery power indicator. It includes a hand strap and holster with belt loop. The metal detector measures approximately 15 and one-half inches x three and one-eighth inches x one and three-eighth inches.
