Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors
First Texas Products makes a large line of metal detectors as
part of its popular Bounty Hunter line of products.
The Bounty Hunter line runs the gamut of products from the
Bounty Hunter Junior which can be used by children as young as six years old to more expensive models such as the
Sharp Shooter Two. Bounty Hunter’s units aren’t as technologically advanced or as elaborate as those from White’s
Electronics and Minelab.
Bounty Hunter Metal
Detectors would be ideal detectors for weekend and hobby treasure hunters who want a basic easy to use unit.
Unlike White’s and Minelab, the Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors is designed
for the average user. It’s simple and doesn’t have a lot of the confusing features found on the high end
models.
A Bounty Hunter Metal
Detectors would be a good unit for a person who’s just starting treasure or relic hunting to start going out
with. The Bounty Hunter Metal Detectorsare basic so that they will be easy
to house. This way a person can learn how to use a metal detector before they spend their money on a more elaborate
unit.
Another advantage to the Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors line is that it is sold through some major retailers
such as Cabela’s, Gart Sports, GI Joe’s, MC Sports, Olympia sports, 000 Network, Oshman’s, Sport Chalet, Ace
Hardware, Target, Sport Mart, Sports Authority, Blue Light, Modells, Bass Pro Shops, Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Sportsman’s Warehouse, Galyans and several others. Bounty Hunter products are also available from a number of
online sources including Amazon and Target.
This gives Bounty Hunter Metal
Detectors an advantage over its high end competitors. Bounty Hunter Metal
Detectors units can be taken back to these retailers if they are defective. Another advantage is that these
retailers may put the units on sale.
Bounty Hunter Metal
Detectors models include the Lone Star which is described as an advanced technology metal detector. This
unit can be used for a number of activities including coin shooting and relic hunting. Features on the Lone Star
include a touch pad with variable discrimination controls, five segment digital target identification, three tone
audio feedback, auto notch elimination of worthless objects, and three different operating modes. This enables the
user to choose between the kind of object they want to locate.
The Land Ranger is another high end Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors model which is designed for serious detector
enthusiasts. It’s also described as a professional detector which means it can be used for some professional
applications. Features available on the Land Ranger include three digit numeric target identification which
improves accuracy, Ground Track which makes for more efficient operation, an easy to read LCD display, and user
controlled operation. This allows for a quick response to objects detected.
The Fast Tracker is a slightly more basic model that has a few
less features. Features on the Fast Tracker include automatic ground balancing which makes detection through
different materials easier, two tone audio feedback, and a headphone with a ¼ inch plug. One advantage to the Fast
Tracker is the Easy to Understand Operation.
The VLF is a basic metal detector for those who want to get
started in the hobby. This simple and easy to understand unit has a few basic features such as automatic ground
balancing, discrimination controls and power and sensitivity controls. It allows a lot of control in operation
which helps users distinguish between buried objects. This is a light weight adjustable unit that average people
will find easy to use.
The Quick Draw II is Bounty Hunter’s model designed for coin
hunters or coin shooters. It’s equipped with a powerful computer circuit that allows more features and functions.
One great feature on the Quick Draw II is the digital coin depth indicator which tells you how far you have to dig
to find a coin. There’s also three level iron discrimination which helps relic hunters distinguish between
valuables and junk. Nine segment digital target identification and three tone audio feedback make it easier to
detect coins.
There are quite a few other Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors models available. Most of these are very basic units
designed for coin detection. Like the other Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors
these are very basic no frills units with only a few simple functions.
Bounty Hunter would be a good brand of metal detector for people
who want to get an idea of what metal detecting is like to start with. Serious treasure hunters will probably want
to look for a more expensive higher unit. In particular a very rugged unit designed for a more specific purpose.
Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors is the metal detector for the general
consumer.
