hazlewolke HS-1 Rechargeable Metal Detector Pinpointer — Waterproof 20 ft, Superhet Interference Rejection

hazlewolke HS-1 is a rechargeable, waterproof handheld pinpointer that quickly and accurately locates metal targets with adjustable sensitivity and interference rejection.

Designed for hobbyists, beachcombers, and professionals, the HS-1 combines Superhet-style signal processing with rugged construction to deliver precise readings in tough conditions. It’s compact enough to clip onto a detector rod, powerful enough to detect coins and jewelry at varying depths, and sealed to perform underwater down to 20 feet. The unit’s simple controls, three feedback modes, and adjustable sensitivity make it easy to use whether you’re teaching a child to detect or refining finds on an archaeological survey.

How does this pinpointer improve target-finding accuracy?

The HS-1 uses advanced Superhet-Tec circuitry to reduce ground and environmental interference, providing a cleaner signal when pinpointing metal. With nine sensitivity settings you can dial in responsiveness for small, shallow targets or larger items deeper underground. Clear audio and vibration cues help you zero in quickly and avoid unnecessary digging.

• Superhet interference rejection for stable readings
• Nine sensitivity levels to match target size and depth
• Three feedback modes: tone, vibration, and LED light
• Fast response for precise target location

Can I use it underwater or in bad weather?

Yes — the HS-1 is built with a robust, thick ABS housing and rated waterproof to 20 feet, so it performs in rain, mud, and shallow dives. O-rings and a sealed construction protect the electronics, and the rechargeable battery means you can top up power without exposing the device to disposable-battery contacts. This makes it suitable for shoreline detecting, puddles, and wet soil conditions.

• Waterproof to 20 feet for underwater finds
• Durable 50% thicker ABS casing for impact resistance
• Sealed charging port and corrosion-resistant internals
• Works in harsh outdoor environments—rain, snow, mud

How user-friendly is setup and operation for beginners?

The HS-1 is straightforward to operate: a single-key interference elimination button, one-button power and mode switching, and visible LED indicators make it intuitive. The unit charges via a built-in rechargeable battery so you avoid frequent battery swaps, and the included clip lets you attach it to a detector rod or belt for hands-free carry. Its compact length and ergonomic grip are comfortable for both adults and children.

• One-key interference elimination for quick calibration
• Simple mode switch for tone, vibration, and light feedback
• Rechargeable battery with easy USB charging
• Clip-on portability for detector rods and belts

What detection depths and targets should I expect?

Depth varies with target size, ground conditions, and sensitivity setting: small coins may be found around 6 cm (2–3 inches), while larger metal objects can be detected up to about 28 cm (11 inches) under ideal conditions. Fine-tune sensitivity to avoid false signals near trash or mineralized soil. The HS-1 is effective for coins, jewelry, relics, and general metal locating tasks.

• Approximately 6 cm depth for small targets like coins
• Up to ~28 cm depth for larger objects in optimal soil
• Adjust sensitivity to trade off between range and stability
• Useful for coins, jewelry, relics, and security sweeps

Who is this for? The hazlewolke HS-1 is aimed at metal-detecting beginners and experienced searchers who want a rugged, waterproof pinpointer with reliable interference rejection. It’s also a solid choice for families introducing kids to treasure hunting, beach users who need waterproof performance, and professionals needing a compact, rechargeable locating tool for fieldwork or security inspections.
