Okay so i have done a bit metal detecting years ago and spent about £350 on a fisher detector which was very good. As i wanted to get back into this hobby i originally started looking on e-bay but soon realised that the prices were just silly for older detectors and also secondhand newer detectors such as the garrets 150 and 250. People are paying £30 - £40 less for a secondhand garret than they would pay for a brand new one with a guarantee? That just does not make sense to me. I did a bit research on the bounty hunter range and there are mixed reviews from both amateurs and so called 'pros'. Build quality has been questioned and it has been likened to a toy. Well, yes it is plastic in construction and i was a bit apprehensive about this, but in actual fact i now consider that to be a bonus. I have been out 3 times since 7th feb and its lightness is a real bonus, you hardly need any effort to use this detector. I first tried it the day after i received it, and it was so simple and enjoyable, i couldnt believe it. After an hour of searching i had found £1.44 and a brass tap. Not enough to retire on but great fun. The next time i tried it i went a bit further than the playing field and into the woods, and i had read the manual so i was able to use the discrimination modes. I found 8 coins, a mixture of half pennies, 2 x 20p pieces 2 x £1 coins an old penny and what looks like a coin with queen victorias head on it ( though this is pretty well worn) oh and an old dinky toy tractor which is in excellent condition. The third trip out was purely to test depth on various metals and to learn the different tones that it makes in the three different modes offered. I have no magical method to offer as these tests are very basic but i am learning to trust the detector and the tones it emits in certain modes. Its not a magic wand and its not 100% accurate. Whether thats down to me or what i dont know, but i feel fairly confident that i am learning and that the detector seems reliable. I shall hopefully be going to the beach fairly soon to test its capabilities and pitch it against my 2 mates, as yet unused , garret detectors. And thats the thing, its no good paying big money for a detector if youre not going to go out and use it regularly. These two mates of mine have had theirs since christmas but havent even used them in the garden yet !!!!! I would say this is a very good introduction to the hobby and that if you are prepared to read your manual and learn how to use the 2 controls and flick switch, then this will be an excellent choice for most people. People with expensive detectors will always 'knock' cheaper detectors, they have to justify spending their money dont they? UPDATE###### Just a quick update, my tally of coins now totals approx. 70-80. Ive been out about 7 times. The coins are king george pennies and halfpennies, queen victoria farthings,threepenny pieces, two shilling coins,queen elizabeth pennies (pre decimalisation) and loads of modern pennies,10p pieces,20p pieces, 50p and pound coins. Im mainly using 'disc' mode as i have been in high trash areas. Last week i found a queen victoria commemorative medal which i think is my best find to date. I am more than happy with the detector, the only thing i have slight doubts about is the depth at which it is detecting. All my finds have been fairly shallow, about 4 inches, so when i find less trashy areas im going to use 'all metal mode' as this apparently gives more depth !
