Discover Your Perfect Metal Detector

Yes, all our detectors are genuine products from our manufacturing partner, Tianxun. They are a leading global manufacturer known for producing high-quality, innovative metal detecting technology. By focusing on engineering rather than expensive marketing, they can offer excellent performance at a much lower cost than many well-known brands in the UK.

Our prices are lower because we operate on a direct-to-customer model. We ship your order directly from the manufacturer in China, cutting out traditional middlemen like distributors and retailers. This significantly reduces costs, and we pass those savings directly on to you.

Delivery to the UK typically takes between 7 and 28 days. We provide tracking information so you can monitor your order's journey. This direct shipping model is a key reason we can offer such competitive prices.

As per our 14-day return policy for unopened items, you will need to cover the cost of return shipping. Please contact our returns department at refund@joanallen.co.uk to initiate the process and receive detailed instructions. We recommend reviewing our full returns policy for complete details.

Absolutely. The detectors we've selected are versatile and perform well in a variety of conditions, including the often mineralised soil found across the UK. Many of our customer testimonials come from UK users who have had great success finding everything from ancient coins to jewellery.

This is the core of our value model. Metal Detector Saver LTD is a registered UK company (SC852487), so you are protected by UK consumer law and have access to our UK-based support team. To offer unbeatable prices, we ship directly from our manufacturing partner in China. This gives you the best of both worlds: a low factory price with the security of dealing with a UK business.

Yes, all our metal detectors come with a manufacturer's warranty that protects you against defects in materials and workmanship. For any warranty claims or questions, please contact our customer support team who will assist you.

A more expensive detector typically offers better performance and more advanced features. This can include greater detection depth, a better ability to distinguish between different types of metal (discrimination), and improved performance in difficult ground conditions like wet sand or highly mineralised soil. While our entry-level models are fantastic for starting out, investing more gets you more powerful technology.

To get the most out of your detecting, we highly recommend three key accessories. First, a good pair of headphones helps you hear the faint signals you might otherwise miss. Second, a digging tool, like a trowel or small spade, is essential for safely recovering your finds. Finally, a pinpointer probe is a huge time-saver that helps you locate the exact position of a target in the hole. You can find all of these in our Accessories section.

A great place to start is our 30-second "Metal Detector Matcher Quiz." It will ask you a few simple questions about your budget, experience, and what you want to find, then recommend the perfect model for your needs. Alternatively, our expert support team is always happy to help via email or phone.
