- Touch Pad Selection
- Sensitivity Control
The detector scans using a waterproof 8-inch coil on an ergonomic S-rod. Moving the coil levelly over the ground or water, the unit detects small items up to 8 inches below and larger items up to 3 feet under. Three different operation modes further assist the bounty hunter. For indiscriminate prospecting, press the "all metal" button on the detector's touch pad, while selecting "auto notch" eliminates most pull-tabs and trash items from detection. The "discriminate notch" method eradicates iron and trash and allows the user to manually adjust the DISC/NOTCH knob to rule out other metals. The detector deciphers a target's metal composition both visually on the LCD screen, and audibly with a tone through the built-in speakers. A low tone indicates nails, bottle caps, gold or nickel while a medium tone suggests pull-tabs, zinc, and post-1982 pennies. High tones denote copper, silver, brass, and pre-1982 pennies. A headphone jack is installed. Headphones must be purchased separately, as must the two 9-volt alkaline batteries that power the detector. This item is covered under a five-year warranty. The USA-made detector measures 28.7 by 10.5 by 6.7 inches upon shipping and weighs 4.6 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

Now I do!, By This review is from: Bounty Hunter LONESTAR Lone Star Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio) Looked around for about a month before I went with the Lone Star unit. To me it is the best for a beginner like me. Easy to set up, very clear instructions, easy to get in the field right away. It is made in Texas and that was another reason I leaned toward it. Today was my first time out with it and I had a blast. Only scanned about an hour in the morning and then another 4 in the late afternoon. Found about a dollars worth of misc. coins, none were terribly old, but still fun. Found a bunch of pull tabs....yuk, but kept after it. Right as the sun was going down I hit on another low tone.......and it was a gold ring! Yep, not kidding and no, I don't work for any company sponsor or anything. Just got lucky. I was 5 minutes from heading home with loose change and foil that fell around the benches and picnic area. I didn't tune out the pull tabs because I read online that a lot of gold hits in the same category (notch) as the pull tabs. So, I just dug them all (about 10)...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:  very happy, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Bounty Hunter LONESTAR Lone Star Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio) After doing some research online and reading many good reviews on this detector I went ahead and purchased this one.
Having never used a metal detector before I thought the instructions were easy to understand and it worked great right out of the box. On first metal detecting hunt I went to an old park near my home and after finding countless pull tabs and bottle caps (was set to "all metal") I set it to "Disc" and adjusted the "disc/notch" knob to the 2 o'clock position it ignored most of the bottle caps and pull tabs and after several hours of searching I ended up with 9 quarters, 4 dimes and 6 pennies. A very good detector for the price, it was easy to use and understand and I would highly suggest this one for any newbie getting into the hobby. |
