My first detector was a $50 amazon cheapy and it worked great. It found a lot of stuff. It just did not tell me how deep anything was or anything like that. But a less expensive detector to see if you are going to actually go out and use it can be a great idea.
I remember watching your videos with it. I think $50 would be a more fair price for this one. But hey, if it beeps you’ll find stuff🤷♂️ I think if I was going to spend $150 I’d get the Nokta Find X. I might get one now just to compare, then give both away.
A nice changeup from the usual! The horrifically slow latency (delay between target & beep) is infuriating. The faster the swing, the worse the effect. Add the immediate (& permanent?) meltdown after touching ocean water makes this Panky an expensive toy, not a good intro machine for potentially serious hobbyists. I'm astounded that it has 4.3 AMZ stars with 4.5k ratings. 😮 The best thing in the box was the shovel. 🤪
I’d like to do more review videos to mix it up. I know some people absolutely hate those videos, but I enjoy doing them. Yea that slow recovery is wild, and the fact that they wanted me to highlight that is hilarious. I tried turning it on the next day and it still falses, not as bad, but I think it’s toast. I’m sure most of those reviews are bots or paid to say something nice 😅 the shovel is nice though, it’ll go in my camping stuff. 😆
@@MontereyMagnetMan - The videos are detecting-related and add to the hobby! I appreciate them breaking up hundreds of scooped holes in-a-row across multiple YT detecting channels. / Panky should just sell shovels & earn honest stars. / Your dog looks like King Clarence. 😜🤪😝
That was painful. As a teenager in 1974 (yes, I am that old) I bought a "Jetco Mustang" detector that had one knob. The knob turned it on and adjusted volume; period. I think it was slightly superior to this machine. I found an Indian Head penny once and my brother borrowed it and found an 1853 Large Cent. However, he found the coin after sitting down on a sandbar in a creek and it poked him in the ass. The detector had nothing to do with it other than he went there to metal detect and it poked him in the butt for his efforts.
The recovery speed reminds me of the detectors of 1970's. A kid might even be discouraged if you gave them one of these. The accessories don't make it any better, though kids are into that kind of thing now days. I would say, if you don't want your kids interested in metal detecting, get them this machine, might be a selling point, who knows. lol Only a kid that have a drive for it would benefit from trying this machine. The falseing would have turned me away as a kid but, I was a kid in the 70's. Get them a quality lower-level detector if you want to give them a chance at learning a love for doing it. (just my opinion but, those are like a**holes, everyone has one)
I started detecting with a Minelab GoFind 66. Great little machine. Perfect in dry sand, but it freaked out nearer to the waterline. The display is excellent too.
Yeah I know I won’t! I have a bounty I like it, but it’s not like the those you have. I do believe it’s a little bit better than the Pancky lol 😂 I’m not buying a name like that. Have a great weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
It came with instructions. But it’s very self explanatory. Only 2 buttons that do anything. It’s basically as complex as a flashlight or an alarm clock.
That would be a good idea! I should have someone follow with the Nokta Find X, it sells for the same price on Amazon. Willing to bet it’s much better 🤙
Well I’m certainly glad I don’t go over $100 just to find scrap. Lol I have a $60.00-$80.00 one and it’s already picked up a ring and change and it’s really good finding aluminum, 😂 so I would say my cheapo is better than that hanky panky 😂 ✌🏼❤️
What machine would you recommend to buy? I want to get one that's not super expensive, but reliable and has a fast recovery time. Also, have you ever searched DeLaveaga Park? I would think you could find alot there?
I would recommend the Nokta Find X or Find X Pro. Both are a similar price as this one and are made by an actual detector company. Or you can do Minelab Vanquish 340, I believe those are still under $200. I haven’t tried that park yet, I’ll add it to my list of spots 🤙
@@MontereyMagnetMan Thank you so much for replying to my questions! If I bought a more expensive one does it mean it would be a better finder? I saw som online for over a thoussnd dollars!😳😲 What do they have that the cheaper ones don't?? I'm a widow and 71 so please forgive my ignorant question. 🤣🤣
@@SeekandDetect you cant plant a ring for him either LOL or maybe you can... we might have to for him to have a chance. We can all take turns bringing him food and water. in the future I am seeing a movie... it will have to be Tom Hanks playing him bc I am also seeing... Forest Gump running across the country and also When he was stranded on the island with that Volleyball . this could work.
Daniel can you explain what you mean by recovery ? I know nothing about detectors . I think you were too kind on your review . It seems to me it was 💩 . I wouldn't buy it honestly .💙🩵🥰
Recovery speed is the speed in which the targets are recognized by the detector. For example if you have a few coins placed a close together you should be able to hear each coin if you have a high or even moderate recovery speed. But with a low recovery speed it kinda turns the grouping of targets into one big sound. Low recovery speed is good if you want to go deep in areas with few targets, like the beach. High is good for areas with a lot trash and shallow targets like a park or schoolyard.
@MontereyMagnetMan that's about that I would expect out of the Kaiweets detector we were sent to review a few months ago. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we opened the both up and they were identical internals.
@@CapriceHuntingas fair as possible. Looking back I should’ve just been brutally honest and been like “don’t buy this crap” but I didn’t because I thought the company would actually review the video. They didn’t 😂
@@MontereyMagnetMan LOL It is hard to get something for free and then bash it bc its cool that someone would even want to send something .... but then I was also thinking it is probably a whole AI company down to the email / packaging / production and probably no ones feelings to even hurt and if that was the case it could be easily stated that it is Crap and they have totally ripped off the look of the Vanquish and for the same price you can get a Vanquish. It was super quality for entertainment tho, I was crying laughing many times through out the day , especially thinking... what were they thinking having a professional metal detector review it?... like if we could just get it in the hands of 3M we could take over th game? or are they already printing a box that says, Owned and Operated by Monterey Magnet Man , or maybe even going so far as to use a pic with you on the box. These thoughts had me crying LOL and also the live stream until a ring is found.... better call off work LOL
lol yea that company definitely seems like it’s ran by robots. The emails they send sound super weird. I sent them a link to the video when it was still private and they called it “charming and sweet” … they didn’t even watch it 😂 Their website looks like they hired some JC Penny’s catalog models to walk around with the machine, they look so lost. But yea it’s just a fake vanquish made out of a lawn chair. 1 out of 5 stars… do not recommend 🤣

Try flipping the coil up unstead of down and it should fit in the bag.🤔

Shovels also a pick

Don’t get it wet or feed it after midnight.
😂😂😂
Sending my support
fold up the coil and it will fit in the bag
Hmm..for a $150 budget buy..I'd look at a findX Nokta or a minelab voyager just my opinion
Yes both of those are much better options for sure
Good job Daniel 👏
Thanks for the test and results ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Anytime! Hopefully someone sees this before they buy one 😅
Yeah I know I won’t! I have a bounty I like it, but it’s not like the those you have. I do believe it’s a little bit better than the Pancky lol 😂 I’m not buying a name like that. Have a great weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Damm it Magnet Man a least you tried it out
No instructions? WOW. Good thing you knew what you were doing. Someone who has never done it before, may have a hard time. To bad.
It came with instructions. But it’s very self explanatory. Only 2 buttons that do anything. It’s basically as complex as a flashlight or an alarm clock.
Try changing the batteries to a new pack of Duracell 9v. Bad batteries will give false readings.
Thanks! 🤙
The sounds would drive me crazy! It’s a hard no for me
Definitely a hard NO. Maybe even the hardest No known to man 🤔🤣🤣
@@MontereyMagnetMan I’m sorry but that’s a terrible machine! Honest opinion! But you did good on trying to advertise the machine 👏
Love your dog.
Seems about like the bounty hunter I started out with. At the same price point.
I’d probably take the bounty hunter over this one. That saltwater freakout was just too much 😂 3 days later and it still hasn’t recovered 🤕
Daniel, where did you get your hat you have that works with headphones?
I got it on Amazon. The brand is “stingray”. But honestly it doesn’t fit too good with larger headphones.
They are not available anyway, maybe they need to be customized a little. Bummer for me. Thanks

😝😝😝
Need someone to follow right behind you and in front, to see what it misses❤😊

Oh. One more question. What's the tool called that you dig up with and sifts out sand??
@undersixty it’s a sand scoop. Mine is made by CKG. There’s a link to it on this videos description and on my channels about me section
The more expensive machines are definitely more capable. But you can get a good one for around $400 that’s waterproof and all that
Should've made it really challenging..."I wouldn't leave the beach until I found a Ring with the Pancky"
And the follow up video would be “How I set the world record for longest beach hunt” 🤣
I was thinking the same thing , a 3M beach hunt non stop until he finds a ring with the Panky would be Epic LOL
@@CapriceHunting live streamed. No breaks

Nice color. Maybe this machine would be great for beginners.
I would say it’s good for very young children to learn with. I don’t think I could suggest it for an adult
Guess you get what you pay for proof in the demo
You actually get less 🤣
I bought that Pancky kit, then found and bought a Simplex+ in a pawn shop. Now the grandkids detect with me, though we’ve hardly used them yet.
classic unboxing audio track🤤🤤🤤
Gotta keep it generic as possible 😂🤣
Wow we cant have nice things

Hey, thank you for the review. They help a lot. A special call out for the porn music with the unboxing!
Porn music?? 🤔😂
Fold the coil backwards and it will fit I think😂
I think you have to do that plus take off the arm cuff.
That looked like a fantastic Gerber Knife...!
I love that knife! It’s a Smith & Wesson, I found it in the ocean! 😂
It's just a kid's toy! Crappy!
You ain’t lyin! 😂
In a gonna buy ten of them now 😂 thank you for sharing
You get what you pay for lol
With Pancky you actually get less! 😝😂
@@MontereyMagnetMan just think of all the gold you would be missing out on! Lol
Se quiser me doar eu aceito pra mim vai servir muito já que não tenho nenhum
I wouldn’t give this thing to my worst enemy 😆
Super slow recovery speed. You could swing over an actual target and keep walking.
👍👍👍🫨🫨
Yoooooo
YoOoOo!! ✌️🤙
Get what you pay for applies here I guess lol
I’d say in this case you get even less than what you pay for 😂
