Much better than expected
I wanted an inexpensive metal detector to find the boundary pins on our property. The description of the Bounty Hunter made a lot of claims, while i was skeptical, i purchased it. While it is a basic unit without some of the automated features of the more expensive models. It had their functionality. It was able to differentiate the different types of metals, give me an idea of the depth and found it to be able detect small metal objects. Most importantly, I was able to find the first surveyor pin for our property. I am now getting ready to find the rest. Read full review

The detector is good but ?
I have used this for about 6 hours only.
The detector is quiet to use only reacting to signals, on all metal it goes deep 8-10” finding coins, bottle tops fishing weights, hooks hair clips and a silver ring. It is easy to set up i run sens max and disc off in all metal mode
Battery removal is difficult to do and care must be taken. Control lay out is not ideal for me but may be fine for other users. It is light and easy to use.
Overall a good value starter detector.
The pin pointer is poor very low vibration and noise, I am hard of hearing and can not hear it all, it has no means of attaching it to a beltRead full review

Beginners opinion
I’ve never used a metal detector, but I figured what the hell, I could use another hobby. So I took this one out in my backyard to learn and practice.
No lie, five seconds after I started I got a good strong tone. So I started digging and found a 1966 quarter about 7” deep. Then I checked the hole again and found a button from a 1970’s pair of designer jeans. Within an hour I had 3 holes dug with various things, like an old screwdriver bit at 6”, a really old caster from a rolling cart at around 8”, and various other things.
The only criticism is the meter. When you get a hit, the needle just jumps around wildly, and getting any kind of reading is useless.
But for a beginner to moderate user it works great. It’s lightweight, so I doubt swinging it for 5-6 hours would be no problem.
The instructions were easy to read, and gives a general description of what settings do what.
The pinpointer works well, but you gotta remember to shut it off when you’re not using it, because it sucks batteries dry fairly quickly. And the tone and vibration could be a bit stronger.
All in all, a good deal that I’d recommend.Read full review

Simple, lightweight, inexpensive, and it works great!
I love this metal detector. It is very simple, lightweight, and inexpensive. I just bought it and immediately took it on a grueling two-day trip to the Mojave Desert, where I used it continuously from sunup to sundown. In my opinion, it works Great! I mostly kept it on the 'all metal' setting because I was interested in any type of artifact. Even while walking briskly and swinging the detector fairly quickly, it would pick up small targets, 6 to 9 inches deep. It is so lightweight and comfortable, I experienced very little fatigue.

Excellent detector for someone considering the hobby
I’ve been thinking about purchasing a detector for a while, finally took a chance and I love it. Very easy to use. So far I’ve only used the “all metal” setting, and it is sensitive enough to detect even the smallest pieces of metal. I’ve been out twice and found a few pieces of change, a hunk of natural aluminum various other “treasures”. I recommend this detector 100%Read full review

Quality is the best in this price category
I had purchased pre owned. Got in very good condition.Second day i went at "hunting", it was very funny and exciting to dig something that you don't know what it will be, this moment is very interesting and exciting to discovering something.After some days i learned how to filter trash(from manual where everything is explained and which you can see in internet too). Discovered some interesting items and getting used to new hobby, which is very very interesting, for example when i find bullet cartridges i searched in internet and discovered that this things were produced from 1891year for Mosin-nagant, i read history about it and about cartridges, during this process you get information about new things and learn everything. Device is very easy to use and useful. I strongly recommend it and good luck to everyone. Read full review

Easy to use & great price!
Getting a late start due to the pandemic but, so far, seems to work great. New to this but like the tone settings & getting use to the tones for different metals.
