Matchbox // Treasure Truck
Ages 3+
A new rugged, large-scale truck equipped with a real working metal detector, the Treasure Truck raises the bar on exploration by taking the hunt below ground.

As the Treasure Truck detects metal, the detection signal will change, and the treasure is ready to be dug up! Grab the scoop and dig deep until the metal is found, using the sifter scoop to separate soil or sand so that only the treasure remains. When the hunt is over, simply raise the antenna to turn off until the next mission begins.
