Dig Deeper, Dig Smarter: The DIG:IT 2-in-1 Metal Detector
Metal detecting is often a two-handed hassle. You sweep the ground with a large detector, put it down, grab a pinpointer to narrow the search, put that down, and finally grab a trowel to dig. Magpie Tech Inc. is looking to streamline this clumsy dance with DIG:IT, a new 2-in-1 tool that combines precision detection with a detachable digging module.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: [DIG:IT] Discover Hidden Treasures with 2-in-1 Metal Detector by Magpie Tech Inc.
What It Is: DIG:IT is a handheld smart tool that merges a high-sensitivity pinpointer with a heavy-duty trowel. Instead of juggling multiple tools, you can detect the exact location of a target and immediately flip the device to start digging. It is designed to be the ultimate "sidearm" for treasure hunters, reducing the gear load and speeding up recovery times.
Key Features
2-in-1 Modular Design: The core innovation is the detachable trowel module. The pinpointer unit snaps securely into the handle of the trowel, allowing for seamless transitions between scanning and excavating.
3D True Scanning: Unlike standard pinpointers that just beep, DIG:IT pairs with a smartphone app to visualize magnetic fields in 3D. This helps users estimate the depth and size of the object before they even break ground.
IP68 Waterproof: The entire unit is fully waterproof, making it suitable for hunting in creeks, mud, or shallow surf without fear of damaging the electronics.
High Sensitivity: It is capable of detecting a standard coin up to 7.9 inches (20 cm) deep and larger objects up to 1.4 feet (43 cm) deep.
Modern Tech: Features USB-C charging for its internal battery, ensuring you can top it up easily with the same cable you use for your phone.
Reward
Pledge Levels:
Lowest Price: While specific tiers vary, the unit starts at $47, suggesting a highly accessible price point for a smart tool.
Campaign Status: The project is currently live and is scheduled to end on February 2, 2026.
Delivery: Shipping timelines are set for June 2026.
Concept
The concept behind DIG:IT is "efficiency." Experienced detectorists know that the most time-consuming part of the hobby isn't finding the signal; it is retrieving the target. By integrating the digger and the locator, Magpie Tech aims to cut that retrieval time in half. It essentially modernizes the classic trowel into a smart, connected device.
Inspiration
Magpie Tech is best known for revolutionizing construction tools with laser measures and smart levels. Their inspiration often comes from taking analog tools and injecting them with modern sensors and connectivity. With DIG:IT, they applied this same philosophy to the world of treasure hunting, recognizing that the standard pinpointer hadn't seen a significant design update in years.
