Default BH Landstar

I have had one for 13 years. I found all kinds of treasure from large cents (1827), dozens of silver coins, everything imaginable. The reviews show it is a good mid-level detector. It is not good for a wet, slatwater beach.

$90 is a good price. I paid $300 for mine in 1998. I also hear they have been discontinued.

Good luck with your choice.

Get both of them if you can. Two good machines for under $200.00, can't go wrong with that and it's nice to have a back up machine.

It seems like a good detector and it is almost like a pioneer505. And the pioneer is a great detector. I know that people always talk about how bad BH is. But A lot of those people have never use a good BH. There is someone on here that has a tracker iv that has more coins than a lot of us on here this year.

I started with one and it held it's own against other mid-level detectors.
