A week with the brand Bounty Hunter or three new detectors are here!

Bounty Hunter is a brand that in recent years has focused mainly on detectors in the lower price range. But it hasn't always been that way, and it probably won't always be that way. Now they are coming straight to market with three new detectors, the Lone Star Pro, Quick Draw and Land Ranger Pro. You can see how the detectors performed in the article.

We have had the detectors on test since the end of April. Originally the launch of the new devices was planned for the end of May, unfortunately projects like this often get delayed and this one month is nothing at all. Thanks to the delay, we and most of our affiliates have had a chance to test the detectors. The detectors have also been tested on several of our polygons and have been tested by several prospectors who have worked with LP for many years and we are always interested in their opinion of new instruments.

Lone Star Pro and Quick Draw Pro metal detectors

The detectors are designed for beginners, but the workmanship is perfect and the range is not bad either. The safe identification of 1c in 20cm in virtually all soil conditions tested, for a detector costing less than 4,000c, is very pleasing in my opinion. The construction of the detector is nicely rigid, the rods do not dislocate in any way and thanks to its low weight you quickly feel as if the detector is part of your hand.

Even the functional equipment is quite unprecedented at this price. Both detectors have mainly audio discrimination. The discrimination settings are at the level of much more expensive detectors. The Quick Draw Pro also has a volume control, a motionless tracking mode and above all a high quality 25 cm biaxial probe.

Bottom line, there are two new detectors for beginners that are very useful. They have a lightweight design and if you are starting out with a detector, don't want to invest too much money and fancy a detector with an LCD, then this is the ideal choice. Moreover, the price of the Lone Star Pro is such that there is really no reason to buy the various Chinese workpieces that often appear on auction sites and actually have nothing to do with detectors.

Land Ranger Pro Metal Detector

The third new detector is the Land Ranger Pro. In terms of price, it's actually still a beginner detector and you can judge for yourself if that's the case. We liked this detector the most out of all three. It goes without saying; it had the best range and very interesting new features. Moreover, although it is a detector priced under 7,000 CZK, it has the ability to detune the ground and this is therefore very exceptional for the money.

Control and setting options

The Land Ranger Pro is completely out of its price range with its equipment and it is definitely worth describing everything that can actually be set up and customised.

Land Ranger Pro metal detector menu

The detector's menu is on the left of the LCD, and includes the standard items, plus the brand new V-Break feature .

Sensitivity - Standard sensitivity settings range from 0 to 10
Volume - detector volume setting from 0 to 10
Disk Level - discrimination settings by individual numbers from 0 to 60
V-Break - a discrimination function that allows the discrimination modes to emphasize (vary) the iron tone, and disc 2 actually determines where the deep iron tone and color are heard.
Notch - the classic cut-out function that allows individual ID numbers to be filtered out

Programs

The software is really rich and unparalleled in its price class.

All Metal - Standard mode without any discrimination
A – Archaeology - preset detector mode with low iron rejection.
J – Jewellery - preset mode for finding jewellery and generally the smallest targets with a low level of iron rejection
C – Coins - a preset detector mode with relatively high discrimination for iron and scrap rejection
Disk 2 - Two-tone discriminating fully adjustable mode with tone stretching for best separation properties
Disk 3 - three-tone discriminating fully adjustable mode
Disk 4 - four-tone discriminating fully adjustable mode

Soil tuning

Land Ranger Pro has the ability to tune the ground effect. The setup is simple. Basically, you just hold down the GB button and pump over soil that contains no metal. The LCD will display a GB number and you are done tuning.

Probe

The detector is basically equipped with a 28 cm biaxial 2D probe, which First Texas uses in many of their high-end detectors. This is a proven probe and offers a very good balance between range and excellent separation properties.

Conclusion

As mentioned at the start, we liked the Land Ranger Pro the best of the three detectors, but this is due to the fact that it is a taller model. Thanks to the extra time we had this time thanks to the factory, we were also able to make instructional DVDs for all the detectors. All three detectors will see some sort of joint test over the holidays, and the Land Ranger Pro model will also get its own special article and extensive videos separately.
