Default Bounty Hunter VLF - What is better?
I realize the VLF is an entry level detector so there are a lot that are better. How good/bad is this on? My son has it. What would be a better choice that is very affordable? Thanks!!!

Two of the most popular detectors that are a "step above" your BHVLF are the Garrett Ace 250 and the Fisher F2. Both are in the $190-$200 price range...depending on which coils they come with, etc.

you could also look at the Garrett Ace 150 or the Tesoro Compadre. Both are much better and budget minded.
