Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Bounty Hunter's Time Ranger detector is the top of the line and offers the excitement and profit of metal detecting, with exhaustive features for professional treasure hunters. The fully submersible, 8-inch Bounty D-Tech search coil features an interchangeable coil and Ground Trac, which automatically balances the machine to the soil conditions. The Time Ranger boasts a large, multifunction LCD readout with touchpad control that displays target ID, depth, sensitivity level, a ground balance monitor, iron level discrimination, and the battery level. The touchpads keep all modes of operation accessible while the LCD acts as a constant reference source. The fully programmable touchpad is relatively intuitive, even for someone who's never used a metal detector before.

The detector features three-tone audio discrimination and four-level iron discrimination, as well as Sniff mode, which is a specialized feature that can quickly adjust your detector to eliminate only one item on the target ID scale or accept only one item on the target ID scale. Sniff mode can also be used if you find one type of trash item repeatedly in an area; you can reject it while still detecting all other metals. Other features include manual ground balance (which enables users to set the balance for the mineralization of the soil for flexibility between soil types) and extras like the included Bounty D-Tech 8-inch search coil and 4-inch Gold Nugget coil. The Time Ranger has a built-in speaker and headphone jack and runs off of two 9-volt alkaline batteries. Users will also enjoy Bounty Hunter's comprehensive, easy-to-understand online tutorial and downloadable manual at www.detecting.com. Five-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

This is the second metal detector I have owned. The controls are very simple and easily explained in the manual. I wasnt sure if it would differentiate between different metals as it said so I went onto my patio to test it. Sure enough, it detected iron re-bar in my patio, and detected the copper penny I placed on the ground. I would recommend this to all skill levels as a way to have fun, and locate your keys a little easier. Happy detecting

I am not as experienced as other reviewers here but I will give my persepctive. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my hubby. He had expressed interest in one. I thought it would be a great hobby and exercize all rolled into one. He loves it. He is still learning all the ins and outs but has gotten the hang of it pretty well. There are lots of settings to control depth and the type of items one is serching for. He started off on all, but now has learned how to switch to coins, etc. We have found some items (nothing of value). But it is exciting to hear that beep and start digging not knowing what one will discover. It was ready to go right out of the box with just a few adjustments. Overall I would say it is a good product.

I am very satisfied with the price and quality of my purchase. They shipped it very quickly. It was delivered in excellent shape with no damage. The unit is made in Texas, and that provides jobs for Americans. Thanks for an excellent transaction.
