- Bounty Hunter Gold Digger - amzn.to/2PTro1X
The Bounty Hunter Gold Digger comes assembled and should have the following 7 items in the box:
Parts list is as follows:
1. Detector Body
2. Lower Stem
3. Upper Stem
4. Coil
5. Coil Knobs x2
6. Stem Attachment Knobs X2
7. Headphones
8. Manual
Control and Readout:
Power LVL - On/Off & Sensitivity Control
Trash Eliminator - Discrimination Control, in the off position this unit will give a single tone for all metals. In the on position this unit will give different tones for different metal types.
Earphones- Wearing earphones reduces the draw on the battery providing longer battery life plus they allow you to hear fainter signals from deeper weaker targets.
For the sake of this demonstration I will not be wearing headphones…this way you will be able to hear all the signals.
My Preferred Settings for Coin and Jewelry Hunting:
· Sensitivity- Max sensitivity for the area you are in (DEMO this setting)
· Discrimination- Set so as to knock out Iron and tones the way you like…
DEMO:
Iron Nail - Rejected
Nickel - Low Tone
Dime - High Tone
Quarter - High Tone
Gold Ring (I’m always asked will this unit find gold. Let’s see for ourselves right now. So the answer is yes, if a gold ring is there, the Gold Digger will find it and when you find your first gold ring it could pay for your detector several times over.
I have the Bounty Hunter Challenger and this video works well for that model too, as the tones are identical! Thank you!
I got one for Christmas, can’t wait to use it. Good Video!
Thank you for your easy to follow content very cool didn't realize I had such an awesome machine ready to up grade to the lonestar pro for the wife's bday 😀
You're going to l9ve that Lone Star Pro. I've done a couple of videos with mine.
A video with the depth detection would be awesome. That would show how well the unit detects items, if it can.
great you give such a great information about that thanks. please upload such a same video related with bounty hunter gold digger.
Useful tutorial.
hey Russ
awesome machine at that great price
would be a great starter detector,,(thumbs up)
There you go straight from the mouth of Keithie6, this man knows detecting. Thanks for chiming in Keith!
That's the first detector I ever used. It is a great detector for beginners. I suggest using energized lithium 9v batteries, they last a long long time in this machine.
I don't have any detector at the moment since I lost a lot of things with my ex but plan on getting another detector. Good review.
Hello Josh- Sorry to hear about you losing your Gold Digger. Hopefully you get back into the hobby soon. Best regards, Russ.
I have a bounty gold digger it's my 3rd metal detector I was curious if the 10 inch DD COIL would be worth purchasing over the standard coil
Hi Russ,
I lost my wedding ring in the backyard. Do you think that I can find it with this Metal Detector. How set up the Buttons??
I keep finding bottle caps and cans anyway to avoid that or is aluminum a high conductor
I got a used one from ebay but it looks brand new...however, well hell, thing doesnt work too good...everytime I put my hand on the metal rod part, it goes crrazy, I didnt have any rings on, checked the connection, was tight...what would cause it to beeep when my hand touched the rod? how deep can this one find metal cuz I had it over a piece of barbed wire andd it didnt beep till about an inch above it. TY
Hi I just bought this and was wondering if it is waterproof
How deep can the gold digger find coins and gold objects? What about other metals like an old lamp?
Just bought this bad boy today
How deep in the sand it will read gold rings, and coins how about gold chain. Thank you.
Well explained . I have 2 and do all beach hunting , what settings do you recommend ? Is the coil water proof or just weather proof ?
Hello Gary- On this unit the coil is weatherproof. For Beach hunting I suggest the same settings, if you get into the wet salty sand (damp sand not covered in water) you may have to drop the sensitivity a little bit as the minerals in the salty wet sand will cause the unit to act erratically. The Tracker IV has a waterproof coil if you are looking for a unit that has a submersible coil. link here: amzn.to/2Mby3lz
Does this thing only catches trash 🗑??
is the coil waterproof?
How meter work
Que profundidad tiene por favor parece que solo es para monedear,muy poca profundidad
If you don't mind my asking, where is this amazing location that you are filming in where you are able to max out the sensitivity meter AND where the ground doesn't seem so mineralized which the GD can handle!!?? I am very curious.
This is in Texas.
Hello. Can a gold digger machine find items such as plastic , glass or wood. If the money or the papers in a box made of other items such as glass or plastic or wood.
what machine can find it. Can you help.
Thanks
Only eyeballs and hands find these things.... It's called a "metal detector" for a reason.
What’s the smallest piece of gold can it detect and what depth
Hello Nathan- I have never tried this. I can pick up a mens 14kt wedding band at 5-6" though. Hope this helps.
I'm looking for civil war relics like brass and iron buttons. Will it locate them??
Haha funny to see someone else looking for info in 2019!
ramon ortiz I know this is an old post but if I can help I’d just like to say that depending on if the soil has been altered in any way for instance soil has been added or taken away then no detector would find anything your best bet would be to find somewhere that hasn’t been altered since the civil war and as for the detector if you could find these ideals conditions then this detector will absolutely find anything and and is imho one of the best values in all of detecting and second to none for the price in recovery speed, target separation ,and unmasking and has various different nuances to the tones depending on the eliminator setting that with some practice can make target Id a breeze
@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 Thanks!!
ramon ortiz no problem I’ve used several detectors of different quality and technology and I want People to truly understand that even with the smallest budgets for this hobby can find great stuff and this really is an amazing detector just not super deep but it is pretty sensitive even to small stuff
ramon ortiz I would also recommend using the settings instructed in this video I’ve found that to be the best for coins buttons jewelry ect.....
Is this good for gold prospecting 🤪🤪
Have you ever submerged the coil under water while operating it?
Price?
I’m in Northern California will it find nuggets?
You will need something with manual ground balance. Take a look at the Time Ranger Pro.
Can this be used at the beach? Waterproof?
Lou🤓
Hello Lou- No this coil is only weather resistant. Look at my video on the Tracker IV I have links to that detector in the video and the price is actually lowe than the Fast Tracker right now.
Got mine for 30 at a local Pawnshop.
