COSTWAY 25153LT Metal Detector with 16 cm Coil and LCD

The COSTWAY 25153LT metal detector combines an adjustable stem with a 16 cm waterproof search coil and an LCD display. Its listed coil detection depth is up to 12 cm, so it is suited to shallow searches rather than buyers seeking a stated deeper-range capability.

At a glance

The listing describes audible alerts and an LCD pointer that swings when metal is detected, with a larger swing said to indicate a closer target.
Discrimination mode is described as letting the user exclude detected metal by turning a control knob until the sound stops.
The coil sensitivity and sound level are adjustable, and the detector can connect to headphones.
The waterproof coil is stated to be usable in shallow water. The listing does not claim the rest of the detector is waterproof.

Pros and cons

Pros

Adjustable 77–107 cm length accommodates different user heights, including adults and children.
The listed 1 kg weight and 16 cm coil make the detector a relatively compact option for basic outdoor searches.
All Metals and discrimination modes offer a choice between detecting all metals and excluding selected finds.

Cons

The stated detection depth is up to 12 cm, which limits its appeal for buyers seeking a detector with a deeper stated reach.

What to know before buying

The listing describes a waterproof search coil for shallow-water use, not a fully waterproof detector. Its detection depth is claimed as up to 12 cm, and results may depend on conditions. Battery life is listed as 70 hours without an operating mode or conditions specified.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Adults and children looking for an adjustable detector for casual, shallow searches on land or with the coil in shallow water.
Buyers who want basic All Metals and discrimination modes, an LCD pointer display and the option to use headphones.

Less suited to

Buyers who need a stated deep-detection range or a detector confirmed as waterproof beyond its search coil.
Buyers seeking customer-reported performance detail, as no written feedback summary is supplied.

Aggregate ratings are mixed rather than uniformly positive, and the available sample is limited. With no written review summary, these figures do not show what buyers liked or disliked. For a detector whose listing specifies a shallow claimed range and a coil-only waterproof claim, the ratings cannot establish real-world detection performance or water resistance.

Frequently asked questions

Can the whole detector be used underwater?

The listing specifies a waterproof search coil suitable for shallow water. It does not establish that the control panel or the entire detector is waterproof.

How deep does it detect metal?

The listing claims detection up to 12 cm. This is a stated claim, not an independently verified result, and the stated depth may depend on conditions.

What is the detector's adjustable length?

The feature description gives an adjustable stem length from 77cm to 107cm.

Does it require batteries?

Yes. The listing says batteries are required and identifies the power source as battery powered, but does not specify the battery type or whether batteries are included.
