Yes the Valentine One has a magnesium case.
Good. The case feels nice and strong. Plastic detector cases suck, I mean, would you want a 9mm made of ABS plastic?
When it comes to cost however, a magnesium case or a plastic case makes little or no difference. Would I pay the extra 13 cents to get a magnesium detector casing? Yeah.
But, performance per dollar is my real interest, but the magnesium case is nice. And plastic detectors only began to hit the market in the 1990's...
The V1 is pretty big however, it's really wide, and pretty long. Passport is much narrower, but extremely long. I prefer the detector to be similar to the size of a pack of Marlboros, not a carton
