My daughter has had this since 8 years old. She is almost 11 now and really getting into it. We have been using it on the beach all week. We like finding everything so we leave the eliminator off. :)
What does the eliminator do I don’t understand
this was a gift for me one christmas and i still have it. I never knew how to operate the thing until just now. Thanks for posting this video. really insightful.
The first name I ever heard in metal detectors was Bounty Hunter. Still love them and still use them to this day. It was 1979 when I bought my first Bounty Hunter. Wish I still had that model I can't even remember which one it was but I know I paid a pretty penny for it even back in 79. Enjoyed the video. Take care Hunter.
That would have been a George Payne design back then I think. Dave Johnson came along later and fine-tuned and tweaked them from there. Proven detectors across the brand. Like to see them produce a flagship style detector to get the respect of the hardcore guys.
I am new at doing it myself, always watched my dad when I was little. Been wanting to get one but I'm on limited income so it's stalled the search. But I found goodwill online, and they have a ton of detectors, and several of these!!! I'm bidding on one now, so WOOHOO! I might be getting started soon! Going to do my yard first, last summer my dogs tie out rubbed on the dirt, and turned up a really old coin, but doesn't look like one from the US Mint. I can't wait to see what else is found though! Thank you for such a great video, and not making it difficult. Good huntin' y'all!
Nice GT. I bought a gold digger for a spare in the event that someone wanted to tag along on digs. It is a nice machine.
Mark Rehs One of the best spare...back of the car...loaner...detectors ever made. Love it for the price. HH Mark.
Thanks! Got a bounty hunter detector. Not this model but it’s about the same price. Works so good and this vid helped me. Getting some supplies for my birthday in June. Turning 14. Thank you so much for the awesome vid!
They make some great detectors for the price. Thanks for watching and best of luck out there.
great video. i'm using mine to find the property pin to put a fence up tomorrow since my neighbors are horrible with boundaries. I had the trash eliminator on and couldn't locate it as easy as i did last year. Ty so much.
I got myself the Bounty Hunter Gold Digger metal detector recently, and I watched your video before I took it out. Very good demonstration. Thank you, THGT. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Nanette. Merry Christmas...sorry for late reply! Best of luck with it.
Great video. Just ordered one
Thanks! Best of luck with it.
That is really impressive. I like how the beeps are proportional to the size of the target and surprised at how fast the recovery speed is. pretty cool.
Diggin Arkansas It is an amazing machine for the price. Not a depth monster but very works very well in most other areas. Recovery speed on it is fantastic.
This was my first metal detector I got in July 2008 and had it until August 2017 and moved onto the Minelab Equinox 800 and found 1800s buttons, pocket watches and silver and gold rings.
The Gold Digger has served a ton of people very well over the years. That is a huge leap up from this to the Nox! Best of luck out there.
TheHunterGT I already found 3 .925 sterling silver rings, 2 Antebellum Period buttons from the 1830s, an 1895 Indian Head penny, 1920 Wheat Cent, 1936 and 1937 Wheat Cent, early 1900s pocket watch, and 1917 WW1 U.S. Army collar disk.
found my next birthday present !!!! great video!!!
Thank you! I love this detector.
I own two of these detectors. My son and I have found a couple of pennies, three Sunoco car coins, what appear to be civil war bullets and a quarter. This was over the last two weekends.
Sound like a couple of great weekends to me. Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy the Gold Digger. It really is an underrated detector for the insane low price.
Will this detect brass and iron civil war relics??
How much. Cod in Philippines 🇵🇭. How many meters deep.
wow thanks HunterGT for another awesome Video and Information.... :)
Glad you enjoyed it Amber. Thanks for watching!
I got one of these for 10 years of meritorious service at the place I was working at, and couldn't decide what to use it for, and finally figured I'd use it to locate Iron Meteorites...I hear-tell some folks pay handsomely for Space Rocks...
Worth more than gold. Good luck!
Thank you for this proper review. I’ll order one ☝🏽 the price is just right. My main thing is to find treasure though NOT trash lol. From silver to Gold is my goal ✨🙏🏽 I think this will be a great one for a starter like me. I’ll make a review as soon as I get it.
I have a BHGD. and I haven't went any where yet. But I will soon ! good luck and hope you find something you can brag about.
Good luck with it for sure. A very capable detector for the price.
Great video thank you
Thanks for watching!
thank you sir
Just ordered one!!!
Good luck out there!
Great info, thanks for sharing. GL&HH
Thanks for watching Jerry!
Nice I have the same one!
Got one of these a few years ago for 8 bucks at a thrift store. Haven't used it really. But am going to the beach soon. And want to try it.
good job brother. 🙌🙌
Thanks Javier! :)
Hello great video I'm looking at this and the Efx mx50 which one would you recommend more
Never heard of a EFX MX50....so I'd probably go with this or a Tracker 4 for a few bucks more.
what about an stainless steel capsule buried about 2-3 feet, what settings i put it on?
Thanks I know how to put together
Great how-to demo!
Short and sweet with everything one needs to know to run that machine!
Thanks sadhvacman! I tend to babble as I love detecting so much..finally made a short video! Baby steps...
TheHunterGT lol!

I'm new to this so the whole stick can go under water except the control panel meaning where you adjust the switches right? can't go in the water?
Correct...don't get any portion of the box wet. Just the coil and the pole.
TheHunterGT 8 just got one of these today. What about salt water?
great video.!! hey can you tell where I can find a bolt for my coil I have the screw but but don't know where I lost the boat/ nut hope you can help me out..! thanks
I would go to a local hardware store and grab a 1/4 inch nylon bolt with nut. Be the same thing basically. Take the coil in with you to test it out.
Henry Trujillo kellyco
lol hey I didn't think of a nylon screw and bolt thank you so much... really enjoy your videos.!! happy hunting........
Wow, cool video! That's basically the detector that got me into the hobby. It's a very good starter unit. I find lots of stuff with mine too. My wife got my son and I a pair for Christmas about 10 years ago.
I also noticed the new video content you added. Very nice! Are you like a computer geek or something? LOL! Oh, and congrats on the giveaway! Might have to see if I can score one for my wife...
Thanks for watching and commenting man! Yeah I am definitely a computer geek lol. Alsmo as bad as detecting.
Glad you enjoy the Gold Digger...best of luck with it. Happy Hunting!
That machine is a good machine. I really love my Bounty Hunter. I just don't know which model it is. It is an amazing machine and so easy to use. I like the new intro. And as always awesome "how to" video. GL and HH. Eric
It is amazing in trash if you know hat to listen form. The unmasking and recovery speed on it are crazy good. Thanks for the nice comment Eric...take care man!
is the coil waterproof?
Is there a huge difference in this and the tracker 4 for a beginner? I know the tracker 4 probably has a slight edge up, but I have a $40 gift card for bass pro and they don't carry the tracker 4 but they do carry the gold digger, so I could get this model for a very nice price compared to the tracker lol
The Tracker 4 is absolutely worth the extra $$ it demands. It has a true all metal mode and better depth. I would use the gift card for something else and get the Tracker 4 personally.
Just ordered this bad boyyy today #Amazon
Nice! Best of luck with it.
I've had my BH GD Metal detector for quite some time but this is the first I watched an instruction. Interesting. Wish you would have taken it one step further and buried them at different depths. Thanks!
Found one for $30 bucks at a Pawn Shop. So cool
Nice score! Good luck with it.
@@thehuntergt Thank you :)
When would you increase/change the power level?
I would run it full blast...unless you are getting chatter and EMI feedback. Then lower it just a bit.
Mine was left in the shed and I think some water got to it. No longer works. I know it's not the batteries because I licked them. Any ideas on how to fix it. Need it to find arrows
Not sure other than opening it up and looking inside. If it got wet chances are its done for.
Lick the window first tben the battery...should get a different result
Just bought a similar one (MD 3005 without tuning knob). But when I turn it on and push a red button to zero it, it buzzes constantly. So I have to turn the volume almost off and if it detects something it beeps a bit louder, so I can hear it. Is it normal or my metal detector is defective? Thank you.
I am not sure sorry. The MD 3005 looks similar...but is a different product.
So, your model doesn't have this problem - have no sound when it doesn't detect anything?
Nope...this one in the video is still working perfect.
What settings would you recommend to find a 10k gold wedding band? It's been lost in the yard two days and probably isn't buried much if at all.
Zero trash elimination...sensitiviy at 80% or so. Should hit it easily. Good luck!
@@thehuntergt Thank you! I really appreciate the advice. We’ll see how it goes!
what about an stainless steel capsule buried about 2-3 feet, what settings i put it on?
@@sonnywacko Well, this should only detect about half a foot deep, but I would test with some similar metal at the expected distance. The Gold DIgger may well not work.
What would be the best setting to find property markers?
Zero trash elimination....full sensitivity.
@@thehuntergt thanks!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I just bought one for the first time using one but I think I got robbed and they send me a broken one. My 8 years old is sad. We put a coin gold on the floor and it picks it up and then won't pick it up. I have new batteries. I don't think this is going to be our hubby. Yours works perfect.. I'm sad 😔
Is it waterproof though because I have this detector but don’t wanna risk it and hunt in water
It is not waterproof.
Is it waterproof
Today it cost about 100 bucks ..but we'll worth the money..will pen.about 6 inches..
I would love to have a bounty hunter gold digger please but is it waterproof
Ali Star123 The coil and cable are waterproof to below the control box.
TheHunterGT ok thank you
I have a bounty hunter lone star; it's ok for coins; but not great for gold fine flakes
is it waterproof?
No...only the coil and coil cable up to the control box.
新出来的探测器吗？ 效果怎么样？
排除铁的功能和抗地质高矿化效果如何？
看到了排除铁的效果很好！！
This won't pick up my 10k golden promise ring, is it broken?
I would say yes as it easily picks an 8 and 10k ring I have.
Turn trash knob all the way off and sensitivity all the way up. If nothing...there is an issue for sure.
IS. You have to do the test on earth to know it's good or not.
I am on this planet...so all good.
this was showing up under a video about real bounty hunters lol
I hunt the bounty that the Earth gives up. I "feel" real enough....but maybe it's all a dream!
Why the hell do they call it coin "shooting", "shooting" for coins?
How about relic shooting and coin hunting?
Can you change the coil on that 😋
Nope.
Hi I was wondering I have my own bounty hunter gold digger but it does not really work any one who can help please commeny
Hello Noah...sorry to hear that. Can you explain what the issue is? Also when and where you bought it?
I bought it last week and it just does not pick up metal the dial stays directly in the middle and yeah that's about it
Noah Martinez Make sure the 2 batteries are brand new and fresh. If they are I would try sending it in for warranty work. Sometimes a bad one gets through all companies.
does it have a headphone jack
nevermind
Yes a 1/8th inch one like a cell phone has.
how much is it ?
$50-60 US
@@thehuntergt can u sent it to Saudia arabia
@@mylifeisluluwh Yes, but it would cost more than the detector itself.
@@thehuntergt how much ?
I did buy one there broken
Gold digger? My ex-girlfriend was a gold digger and didn't look anything like that
They all are...and they never do.
Fantastic you just proved blind people are the target consumer. Above ground 1/2 inch away. Who’s buys into this nonsense?
It's a demonstration video of target audio and the disc circuit - not a depth test. Most people are not daft idiots and realize this.
I have one and I cannot say the same it’s a piece if crap
For $60 it hits coins to 5 inches and has a extremely fast recovery speed. Also has a great discrimination circuit and passes a nail board test that some $500+ machine cannot. Calling it crap seems fairly ridiculous.
TheHunterGT maybe I just have had bad luck with it because when I put the trash eliminator on everything disappears.
Sounds like a defect then. It should slowly discriminate out ferrous items as you turn it up.
Boring
I'm sorry your life sucks.
It can find only 5 inch deep so never buy this worst machine
It's a $60 detector big guy...it's not supposed to go any deeper.
thabks. uncle letting me borrow his. I've found some, well, what actually a bunch of what appears to be gold after this ordinarily very dry river got smashed.
