Hello all,
I just joined this awesome forum tonight. Here's my issue.
Wife bought me a Bounty Hunter Time Ranger for Christmas. I took it out for a few hours and then it started to snow. For the bounty hunter series this appears to be one of their top of the line.
However, when I look on other sites including this all I hear are the big names.
I want honest opinions. I'm going to hit detecting hard in the spring. I want something that is going to be able to coin hunt parks, fields, old home sites etc with the ability to find jewelry,relics and other goodies. I'm in Michigan so no gold to speak of unless it's a ring or possible rare coin.
I'm willing to go up to the $500.00 budget and this one ran about 200.00 I believe. I'm in the window to be able to return it and want some honest answers.
I guess what I'm asking is "will a 500 dollar model from one of the name brand companies provide better technology to find deeper targets" I know 90% of it is truly how comfortable the user is with his or her detector no matter what brand.
This is confusing so any help is greatly appreciated. I just don't want to realize this in the spring when I can't return it and have something with very little resale value.
Thanks.
Joe
