Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II Metal Detector with Pinpointer and Carry Bag

This being my very first metal detector and being new to the field I was not disappointed. The product is very easy to use and understand.. I like it and my first find was a quarter just as it indicated on the display screen.

Bounty Hunter TRACKERIV/TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector
$129.95
We just removed and/or relocated some metal t-post and barbed wire fences on my farm. A couple of these fences were over 15 years old. There most likely were rusted and broken t-posts embedded in the ground. This would be a danger to the tires on the machinery. Believe me, you do NOT want to puncture a fluid-filled tractor tire which weighs hundreds of pounds. Anyhow, the requirement was for a metal detector which would detect these iron metal posts, and not discriminate them out because they are not "precious" metal.

This detector fit the job to a tee. In fact the manual even gave specific settings to use for general farm work. In short order I located and dug out five broken t-posts, and also found several pieces of old barbed wire and quite a few of the wire clips used to attach the wire to the posts. This was despite working on heavy, wet clay and through heavy grass (hay) about six inches tall. The unit was sensitive enough to even pick up the rust in the ground where old posts had been removed, but the sounds made it plain which detections were the important ones. I also found some old boards just below the surface. These boards were detected because they had nails in them! I probably saved myself hundreds of dollars in tractor tire service calls and repairs.

So, even if you are not hoping to find Uncle Ed's buried treasure, this detector is definitely useful.

Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector

Definitely built better than others in the price range. I think it will be a lot of fun for my 5 year old grandson. I had purchased and tried 2 before I found this one which is a keeper.
