The Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II Metal Detector for Adults, Easy-to-use, and Designed for efficient Detection of Coins, relics, and Other Treasures, Making it Ideal for All Types of Treasure Hunting.

This review is strictly for the metal detector alone. I am not going to be grading the pin pointer nor the carrying bag due to the fact they were damaged during shipment and I dont have the opportunity to use them. SIDE NOTE: I do own a pin pointer of the same make and model and I can say it works well and is very accurate. This detector is outstanding. After testing it by following the manual, my son and I headed outside to try it out. It detected several things in areas we had previously went over with another detector. Its light and easy to handle as which is the case with all Bounty Hunter brands. The dial face is extremely informative and the readings are accurate to say the least thus far. Im very pleased with the detector itself. After several attempts in trying to fool the detector, it passed each one with flying colors. All in all, the detector is well worth the price and the accessories would be great as well if not for the fact they were damaged or not working. I highly recommend buying the detector to all who want to start in the hobby. This is a good starter for those not wanting to spend a lot of money but yet wanting more than just the basics.

I have owned this detector for the past week. I feel that I have used this enough to write the review already, and if anything changes, I will update everyone. I have over 15 hours already in use believe it or not so here is my review: The Detector: I bought it for a few reasons, one of which being the display of the type of metal object and depth. This is pretty cool, but it is often not correct. I dug up an old bike seat and I was getting all sorts of readings in a small area which made it look like several coins. I have had my share of false readings and I am doing the correct sweep method. I have just 5 days found about 35 cents, a bike seat, an old U-Haul type truck that was like 8 inches deep, and some screws and random metal. I am honing my skills in the sweeping, the cross-section pin-pointing, and am learning to re-check my spots before digging, and I really mean re-checking like 3 times by turning off the detector and going over it again and again. I have a few large holes that were false readings. Overall, I definitely give it 4 stars because it is a ton of fun, and it really is finding things in my yard. I can't wait to go to the beach. The pinpointer- I have read that this is not that great and has it's issues, but I could not tell. Mine works really well. I have a 3 year old that loves to dig with me, and this not only is helpful to me to use in the digs, it gives her something to go walk around and mess with. I think if it broke I would have to purchase another one. The bag- It is nice and I appreciate having it. It is your basic carrying bag, which might be worth 15-20 dollars. I also should say I am probably a novice metal detector, and I really am getting better with this one. I do recommend it.

Excellent detector from one of oldest companies still making metal detectors in the USA. Works excellent ecspecially in discriminating out Iron and gets great depth

Only used it three times, and first time with any metal detector. It's pretty simple to use, and seem pretty accurate. After ordering, I spent the time waiting for it to arrive, looking for forums, with people using them. A little discouraging, but think that people tend to stand behind their own choices with such things. Learned a lot of things about settings and technique. My first time out, found a 1974 penny, 2 inch piece of aluminum tubing, and a piece of trim or flashing. Today I found a 1994 quarter, a beer can, a hot wheels car, and some sort of non-magnetic melted blob. I haven't been digging up every beep, but might get to it eventually. Trying to be selective, to save on digging in my backyard. Thought it would be easier, but two things make it a chore. Tree roots, and busted pieces, of what I suspect to be concrete blocks. Other than that, the soil is sandy. Might look into a small landscaping shovel, since I've been pretty close to where the item actual is buried, don't think I need 10" holes. Figure that I won't get bored on my own property for months. Little hesitant to take out some place public yet. Not real sure how people would feel about holes being dug. This thing does work well, found metal in every hole I dug, no treasures as yet, but just getting started. June 12, 2011 update: Dug up the backyard pretty good, all for $2.79, nothing really old, 60s &70s. Did learn the detector pretty well though. Walmart has a $7 digging tool, help a great deal, and does less landscape damage. When you get a consistent tone as you pass over a target, and the ID and depth, stays the same with each pass, in any direction, it will be the item on the screen, and at the estimated depth. Dimes and pennies are about the same, sometimes though. Also found it a good idea to check a little wider, even mark the center. Found a steel fence post, that read as a $1 coin. Had I check a little further, would have noticed that it was long. Little too focused on finding the best place to dig. This was after I had already gotten all the sure thing coins, in auto-notch mode. I have no regrets on picking up this detector, works every bit as advertised. No silver, gold, or jewelery, but hadn't expect any in my own yard. Been a little hot out lately, to hit a park or some place, but will soon.

Gift, recipient was happy with it

The bounty hunter is awesome, is very accurate on depth. I have found four musket balls and alot of coins, the oldest was a 1950 penny. Takes time to learn where to go and look around. Staying away from party areas or you find alot of trash. I go to the river bottoms and where old farm house use to be, those are you`re best places to look. The carrying bag is awesome to, very good for biking some where with the bounty hunter. But the pin pointer is total crap, only works when touching the object. Over all the bounty hunter is worth the money. I did buy the garrett pin pointer and works very well, my 109.00 was well worth it.

The Quickdraw II is a great all-around metal detector. I mostly use it in the "All metal" mode but have also used it to notch out unwanted metals where it performs as advertised. I've dug up relics and coins, and the coin ID has been accurate 99 percent of the time. You get used to the different sounds and after a while can guess what metal you're digging (tab, rusted can, etc). I don't believe the depth indicator works accurately on mine so I use it as a guide moreso than gospel. Many detector ads tout depth finding ability but how deep do you really need to go? Most of the stuff you'll find is not down that deep (2-8 inches or so - course your milege may vary). Took it to the beach and was satisfied. In the dry sand, it performed very well (get a good heavy-duty sand scooper for the beach). However, when used too close to the water or in wet sand, the detector gives off numerous false readings as the sodium in the water drives it crazy. To adjust, I turned the sensitivity almost all the way down and was able to use the detector - but doing so sacrifices capability to detect some objects and probably gives up depth. The computer module is not water proof so you probably don't want to get too close anyway. I purchased the 10-inch coil for the beach and was pleased as it allows coverage of more area in one swipe and penetrates a little deeper. Difficulty with the 10-inch is pin-pointing the location of the object when digging in the earth but not an issue at the beach (much easier to scoop sand than earth). The 8-inch coil that comes with the unit is much better suited for "zeroing in" on your find. Overall, I'm very pleased with the unit and highly recomment it for general purpose metal detecting. If detecting at the beach was my main focus, then I would look for a different detector.

I want to note, worthwhile purchase, as investment is only going to fit if you stick with detecting long enough. I bought mine in hopes of making some awesome finds, but also as an upgrade to the basic Bounty Hunter Detector: Bounty Hunter Gold Digger Metal Detector (available on Amazon.com). I would recommend buying the one above if you are just starting out and want to know if you like metal detecting or not as it is cheaper and does a good job. Though if you can afford it, and don't want to deal with trash (pop tabs, etc.) then this detector is a great place to begin. The pinpointer alone made the purchase for me as I have cut my time down considerably. Without it this detector is a little harder for pinpointing then the above mentioned detector because the tones are same volume, but you can still do the "X" pattern to get pretty close to being directly above your target. The only quirk I have is that this detector (and the previous one) don't detact gold flakes. I have been able to find rings and coins with the detector with ease, plus the display is easy to work with and the discrimination is top notch.

Habe den Bountyh Hunter Quick Draw Pro im September 2019 gekauft. Beim letzten Sondelausflug ist mir aufgefallen das die Pinpointer Funktion ständig aussetzt und sie dann in einer Art countdown runterzählt bis ich sie dann wieder einsetzen kann. Dieses Problem tritt aber immer wieder auf und die Suche über die PP Funktion zieht sich in die Länge und ist fast nicht mehr zu gebrauchen . Kann mir jemand eine Erfahrung dazu berichten oder kann der Verkäufer mir helfen?

ich habe dieses Gerät nach dem das erste nach einigen Jahren Benutzung kaputt war wieder gekauft und auch schon weiter empfohlen...auch der Benutzer des Gerätes ist haus wie ich damit sehr zufrieden

Works well. Able to find various items in my yard. Vendor was good to deal with. Easy to use. Keep the instructions handy.

Very good delivery time. The product is as stated, thank you very much, Hours of fun

This is a great metal detector especially for the price, once you practice a bit learning the controls it will pick up small items such as coins or rings 8 to 10 inches deep without any trouble. Listening to the different tones you will soon learn what type of metal you are detecting most of the time and the pin pointer works really well also for the price saving time finding those small items that can be hard to see in the dirt. Even thought this detector doesn't have pin point it's very easy to pin point an object by swinging side to side then front to back, so for the price I think this detector would be pretty tough to beat.
