Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker Metal Detector Reviews

• My 9-year old step-son loves it!

  My husband and I got this for his 9-year old son, who lives in Florida. He absolutely loves it. He's found all kinds of things, which, of course, are treasures to him! He's had it for three weeks, and is still using it daily. That, for a nine-year old, is true interest, and not a fad. It's not too heavy, has a good angle on it, and a good radius. I recommend getting the headphones, too.
  
  

• A great detector for the money!!

  I picked one of these up several months back and have been very satisfied with its performance.... The coil is waterproof and can be used in shallow water, wet soil or sand which makes this a great beach detector. It's okay and recommended to drag the coil along the ground back and forth SLOWLY for maximum depth. It runs on only 2 9-volt batteries which by using headphones you can really extend the life of. While it doesn't have any visual target windows like more expensive detectors, the two-tone audio speaker is the key to determining what kind of metal you've found. You can literally turn this thing on and go! There's only 2 dials of operation to worry about "all metal" (a 10 o'clock setting is good) and it can be used in concert with the "discrimination" dial (11 o'clock is good here) to eliminate iron and other junk metals. It's simple enough for a child to use and understand.... To save the prospective buyer some trouble, read the manual carefully and practice around your house and yard before taking this into the field --- trust me. This is an ideal first detector for someone who isn't sure they'll like this hobby and don't want to spend lots of money to find out. Bounty Hunter also offers a 5-year limited warranty which shows you that they really stand behind their product. RESEARCH is the key to making good finds though, so don't expect great results without it! Read and learn all you can about your local area's history to improve your odds of success. Metal detecting has something big in common with real estate --- location, location, location is the key!
  
  

• Metal Scrapping Son

  The Bounty Hunter is an excellent value for the person who loves to scour about an area that was lush with people ie.(company picnic, family reunion). The Hunter is easy to use and is lightweight. The instructions are clear and concise in describing the difference between a rusty nail and a piece of jewerly. This is my first Bounty Hunter, and I've already recommended it to my friends.

• A good starter

  I am satisfied with this item. I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and did not want to spend too much incase metal detecting was just a 'phase'! It is easy to use and beeps at the first sign of metal! We've mostly dug up ring pulls from cans and a few cents here and there. We've had no problems with it. He's used it a number of times and the batteries show no sign of running out yet.
  Metal detecting is fun and this detector would make a great gift for 8-16 year olds, or anyone just starting out their interset in metal detecting.
  
  
• Easy To Use
  By AZH6PXHA2VS8D on 2007-07-13
  We ordered this product so we could locate the corner pins on a piece of property we purchased. It did not disappoint. The vegetation had completely covered the areas where the pins were located, so it would have taken forever to locate them without the Fast Tracker. It is easy to use and gives an audible signal.
  
  
• Not worth it

  Even at a cheap price, its not worth it, spend a few $$$ more and get a better machine
  
  
• Finding small treasure
  By ANH5NDJIJM3HA on 2007-01-06
  I bought the bounty hunter for my 9 yr old son and he has used it at the beach, sandbox at school, hiking trails, playgrounds to find bottle caps and pennies mostly. It beeps when it detects metal and works very well. We even dug up a mountain of beer cans at the beach... about 20 buried in the sand. It is light weight, easy to use and detects very well.
