Family Fun: Bonding Time and Treasure Hunts
Cayla Thomas shared her family’s adventures with metal detector use and outdoor recreation. The parents and two kids love to get out and discover new things on a regular basis.
“That's metal detector is extremely fun and it definitely is a activity that'll bring the whole family together. Every time it detects metal it's very exciting not knowing what could be found will it be a rare object or will it be just another common bottle lid. Either way this is a lot of fun and my kids absolutely love it and it's a great high quality product at a very great price. We will definitely be using this a lot this summer to do as my kids say go on 'treasure hunts'.”

“Absolutely great metal detector! Was working on the edge of my pond cleaning wood duck boxes from successful hatching. Could not find my phone! I remembered that I always have my PANCKY-Metal Detector with me! Before I went to the truck I was running my hand under the water feeling everywhere. Retrieved my metal detector out of the truck. Within two minutes it sounded off and sure enough it had detected my phone high dollar I-Phone. I can't say enough about this Company and their fine products! Thank you!”
Special Story: Metal Detecting Is for Everyone!
Many people falsely believe that metal detector use is only for strong, physically fit adults with no limitations. The truth is that almost anyone can get involved in this rewarding hobby. No one proves that more than Becky and Julia Fraley, a mother and daughter duo who purchased a Pancky device and received a free gift box on our last Black Friday giveaway.
Thirty-seven-year-old daughter, Julia, suffers from chronic Lyme disease complications that leave her in excruciating, constant pain. She uses a power wheelchair to get around. Their interest in treasure-hunting TV shows like ‘Oak Island’ led them to try out metal detecting for themselves. We are so proud and honored to be a part of their new adventures together.
“She was THRILLED for the metal detector but wow the extra gift was so exciting. She said now she has a bag for the "top pocket finds" just like Gary!The portable shovel is super! I will be the shovel lady lol like Rick or Jack is for Gary!
AND, I figure we can even use it if we can go to a paved trail with her power wheelchair and she can get out and run it over the ground off the path. How exciting!
It's lightweight enough for her to use an hour, maybe two but not continuous which is really fantastic to have one she can use! Plus she adjusted it with me helping judge the best length based on her strongest joints.”
The Pancky team thanks everyone for these and other user stories that demonstrate how metal detector use and our products specifically help people live more active, exciting, and fulfilling lives. We welcome more feedback and invite you to share your stories with us online.
