BOXTREN M55 Metal Detector with 12-inch IP68 DD Coil

IP68: The BOXTREN M55 metal detector combines a listed 12-inch search coil with five detection modes and a collapsible, adjustable stem. Its coil is described as waterproof, but the control box is splash-proof only, so it is not a fully submersible detector.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the title says a 12-inch coil while a feature claims a 12.8-inch coil, and the kit description gives conflicting battery types, with one passage claiming 2 AA batteries and another listing 2 x 9V batteries. Confirm the selected listing's coil size, included batteries and kit contents before purchase. The stated 12.8-inch detection depth is a manufacturer claim, not a verified result.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • Beginners looking for a detector with multiple modes and straightforward LCD and audio cues.
  • Outdoor and beach users who can keep the control box out of water while using the listed waterproof coil.
  • Buyers who want a folding stem and an adjustable length for transport or fit.

Less suited to

  • People who need a detector that can be fully immersed, including its control box.
  • Buyers who require confirmed battery type, exact coil size or a verified detection-depth performance figure before ordering.
