Bounty Hunter "Lone Star Pro" Metal Detector Review - Beginner Machine Guide for Metal Detecting
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 01. 2021
- Last year I dug $186.43 in modern coins alone. This doesn't include silver coins, old coins, foreign coins, or coins not made anymore. It also doesn't include all the rings, charms, buttons, buckles, colonial artifacts, or other relics I found; just the modern coins you could roll up and take to the bank, $186.43.
I tell you this because metal detecting might seem like an expensive hobby to get into up front, but it's a hobby that over time can easily pay for itself and then some. But in case you can't afford a $1,000 machine, or a $500 machine, or even a $300 machine; I scoured the internet to track down every machine I can get my hands on that retails for $186.43 or less (okay, I kinda bumped it to $199.99 or less) so I can do a review and go over the features on it so you can see what different machines are out there that each cost less than what an average detectorist can make back in modern coins alone in just one year!
This weeks review will feature the Bounty Hunter "Lone Star Pro" metal detector and shows everything from an unboxing, assembly, review or all its features, and then some tests so you can hear the sounds, see its depth, and everything else it has to offer to see if it might become your first treasure hunting machine!
You can purchase the Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro from Amazon at the following link:

though I had some problem with sea water It also czcams.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Another good critique Jason. Many laugh at Bounty Hunters the red headed step son of machines but for $140 I think it's a great starter for the beginner.
I think this is an important and long overdue series. Good work man!! Also- My first detector was a Bounty Hunter and I found 5 silver coins under my neighbors clothes line the first hour I owned it. They work.
Thanks Quarter. I have the Bounty Hunter Pto Tracker IV.
Nice little machine. Very light.
After picking up the Garrett ace 200. I still use it.
Fabulous reviews and well explained. Always good stuff! New Brunswick Canada
I'm loving these review videos you've been doing!!! Thanks so much!!!!
Another excellent review in an excellent series. Borrowing a Bounty Hunter from a colleague is how I got started in metal detecting over 5 years ago. I then went out and bought my own detector.
I use the Bounty Hunter 2200 Discovery, Best Machine I have ever used and the Machine I have used for the last 4 years, great video thanks for sharing all the best from Canada!!
Thank you! I just got this as my first detector and I didn't understand the instructions at all. This vid helped me so much!
best detector review I have seen so far, I really want to thank you for that!
Bounty hunter was my first machine. It did a great job and had me hooked. Started watching your videos soon after. Using the Anfibio now but I miss my bounty hunter. Wasn't a very sturdy machine though.
Love the videos man. Thanks
I just got this for Christmas. They were running a special and my head phones were included. I can not wait to try it out. Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a Outbound which is a Bounty Hunter discovery 1100 just renamed up here in Canada. I love my metal detector its pretty good, I bought mine for 99 dollars cdn when it was on sale.
Excellent way to explain how to pinpoint, great graphics, clear and concise. I have Land Ranger Pro, and recommend to any beginner, I use mine to help friends and family, when they want to go with me detecting, sits right next to my AT Pro as backup!
Just bought this with my savings, and I feel like a giddy little kid! Really enjoying this, and found a knife someone had lost. Super exciting!
This one was my first detector. The one major gripe I have with it is not being able to adjust the volume from the unit. If you don't have earbuds or headphones with adjustable volume control, it'll leave your ears ringing for days! It's also a bit fragile, but besides that, it's a solid machine IMO
The Lone Star was my first Detector and I bought it years ago after watching you on CZcams for the first time and wanted to detect. Was a good starter detector. Quickly upgraded to the AT Pro and Put your Sticker on it lol
I want to refinish your table. 😂😂😂 good information, one if the best for a beginner like me! I'm now on my way outside! Thank you! Now I just need to invent a diamond detector! 😂
Nice detector test series. Great job, thank you
Great vid again.
As I said in a previous review...I would highly recommend spending just a few more bucks and get the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro for a beginner. You get the pin pointer, backlight, and alot better discrimination ect. You get about 15 hrs full on the 9 volt. I teach everyone that wants to learn on the Land Ranger Pro...in 1 week they get a great feel.
Love my Nox!
Best!
Rick
Thank you for the Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro metal detector review. Appreciated!
Thanks Jason, great review 👍
Great info!! I have this one and your review was very helpful!!
Good content Jason really liked the segment about your pinpointing method I have been using this method for years rarely use the pinpoint button anymore that’s one that is not taught often
I bought mine at Manard's for $179. My two lots are wet sand. I have found pennies, dimes, quarters, nickles, nails and barb wire. Coins are barely readable, etched. It is fun and addictive I wanted to start a beginner price. Wichita KS. I also got a pin pointer. (Video) Very useful. Thanks
I have the Bounty Hunter Pioneer 505 and love it.
Best review video by far!
Great series!
Great demo and education.
Great video Jason! That Lone Star Pro is great little detector. Great discrimination, great depth and a banger on the middle range conductors like gold! Plus it's an AMERICAN made detector with an industry leading 5 YEAR warranty!
They are way behind better machines now.
Great review. Hope you do one on the Dr. Otek MT-XR. Seems like a pretty good machine.
I'll be using mine in Nevada tomorrow!
Another great job. Thanks
This was helpful Jason! Thanks
Hope you're able to get to the Tracker IV. Currently 85 bucks on Amazon. Incredible value for the money.
Thanks for all your great vids!
Excellent review. Bounty Hunters are great little machines. Cheap, easy to use and great signal depth.
Why do you need headphones?
They are very uncomfortable in hot weather.
The speaker works just fine.
I’ve found out that 240vac overhead power lines will greatly interfere with the metal detector, never a telephone line.
Thanks for these videos. So far the Quest 5 seems to be the best value. (Quest 10 even better +$50) Hoping there will be a final summation video where you compare all and pick a favorite. Thanks again.
This model sells for $399. in some stores up here in Canada,
I was lucky mine was given to me and this is my first one, I am thoroughly enjoying it! =D
thank you for telling us how to put it together.
Thanks Jason
Hi jason another good review on the bounty hunter. Looks good little machine. I now have a simplex but i think u should do a review on my beginners machine your viewers will be stunned by it depth an recovery speed. Tainxun tx 850 metal detector have a look people awesome bit of kit 👍💥
I started with a regular bounty hunter lonestar, and found a ton of good stuff with it including seateds, large cents, a couple reale coins..plus a ton of other stuff, has its limitations, but if you learn it good, you'll find stuff.
I'd love to see you throw some iron beds maybe some shotgun pellets under some rocks or in between two big Flat Rocks. Just because I search for gold in the cricks and the Bedrock cracks. Not precisely looking for a machine that will pick up a tiny piece of gold. Just looking for a piece of equipment that will pick up small pieces of lead or iron in a crack. Indications of heavies. Thank you good show by the way.
Thank you SO much!
I have it my dad got for me and it good and you help me get more coins thank you so much
Could you possibly check out the Tesoro Compadre?
have you done a review or use a Bounty Hunter land ranger pro???
Bounty Hunter is owned and manufactured by Fisher/First Texas. Yes, the same Fisher that makes great underwater detectors and the Gemini Series of Two-Box Detectors. Fisher/First Texas also makes Teknetics. That way, Bounty Hunter (a very inexpensive beginner brand of detector) can draw from the R&D of the more expensive brands that they sell. I have one because when a guest is over, I dont have to loan them an $800 Whites GMT 24K or a Minelab PI Machine. Simple turn on and go.
What do you recommend for beginner for beaches in florida with water proof coil under 250.00
same as the tracker pro. ( 89-100 bucks same unit) I just got one for christmas How well does it work in the field? seems a little cheep. screen goes blank a lot even with fresh battery.
Jayson, I'd like to see you do this one next!:

Can you review the Drmois metal detector please. That way I know if its ok
My current (and only machine) is a Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX. The only issues I have with it is no headphone jack and no depth indicator. Not a bad machine. But, as I am already familiar with the Bounty Hunter this one is attractive to me . . . so far.
We find Roman coins ,Saxon Thor's hammers, Celtic jewelry in the UK with these they are really good
Out of all the reviews you have done on “under $200 machines”, how would you rank them in best bang for your buck?
Good video, but the largest gold nugget dug up on the west coast came up as an iron signal. low grunting sounds. With your video @10:54 you are doing he gold test and listen to the sounds, then when you turn the ring at 11:30 you can start to to hear grunts. That is why i don't leave any stone unturned, you never really know what you have found unless you dig it.
It would be great to have a group get together and work an area with detectors under 200.00 and see what they find. Then a group with 201.00 to 500.00 work the same area, And then see with 500. plus. I think this would really make a difference to see it is worth the extra cost of the machine. Or to make it in layman's terms you have a cadilac with all kinds of bells and whistles you don't need or volkswagon that works the same but no bells and whistles. Such as a volume control or can operate under water. I am only looking at above water testing. This would be awesome to try with other people who detect for fun.
199 at Academy is what I paid for it tonight
will it pick up gold rings?
YES YOUR REVIEWS ARE WELL EXPLAINED EVEN TAUGHT ME SOMETHING ABOUT MY BOUNTY HUNTER PLATINUM. WHICH I GOT FROM METAL DETECTOR DOT COM.. THE BOUNTY HUNTER PINPOINTERS ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE SO I BOUGHT A GARRETT 🥕 CARROT.. WORTH EVERY PENNY. I'M PRETTY SURE AS SOON AS I GET MY STIMULUS MONEY I'M GOING FOR THE NOTKA SIMPLEX. A LOT OF REVIEWS RATE IT PRETTY HIGH AS DO YOU FOR A $300 TO $350 MACHINE. A LOT OF FARM LAND NEAR THE BEACH IN LOWER DELAWARE. THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME RIALLES OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. LIKE TO FIND A LEATHER POUCH FULL OF GOLD DUBLOONS AND RETIRE..
I still have my first detector....a Bounty Hunter and it was even cheaper than the one you tested. I think around $100 and it doesn’t have a display just 2 switches , one for on /off volume and sensitivity and the other for discrimination. While running some tests with my nox and simplex, I decided to try the old bounty hunter and was surprised at how well it did. Of course it doesnt have the bells and whistles of other machines but as a starter detector, it works pretty good. Think I’m going to let my 10 year old use it when we go out hunting. Nice video!
I have been detecting for the last four years and I have yet to buy a commercial detector lol If you can figure that one out you'll get a gold star, I was looking at the Simplex tbh, how do you like it? With my detectors, I have no problem Reaching 12 inches down on a quarter with a 10inch coil With discrimination on just past the nickel range, What the deepest coin you dug with the simplex+?
@@patprop74 I like the Simplex. There is a learning curve with the tones compared to the nox but it is a deep machine. I have dug coins about 8 inches but that was just because they were 8 inches. I have dug many small relics at 12" or more with it so I think it would hit quarters or halves about that depth.
@@GENOBURRITO1 Fantastic and thank you for sharing your experience with the Simplex, luckily it's winter here and I still have a few months to decide if I want to go the store-bought route, however that simplex is looking good to me.
@@patprop74 I understand. For the price, nothing can touch it. I have the Simplex with the green wireless headphones and it was about $340. Comes in a kit with many extras when you order from Serious Detecting or other Metal detecting online stores. Best bang for the buck of any detector I have seen. Best of luck to you sir!
How do you turn the volume up 0n a bounty hunter pro.
Will it detect white gold?
Im still gonna go with the striker z60
What would be a little better upgrade to this one ☝️
I love
Mine went bonkers the other day just turned on started beeping I changed the battery now it turns on and off on its own I beat it with a hammer to try and fix it and nothing lol
👍
Para mim o melhor detector do mercado Bounty Hunter eu tinha um Pioneer mais estragou de velho muito bom estes detector bounty Hunter
That one works pretty good for the price. I'm gonna have to send you that email of the one I have we talked about it don't have any settings like the ones you have been showing. I'll try and get the picture and the brand name tmrw I've just been busy I'll send you an email.
I'm still running the bounty hunter 505
I’ve got the bounty hunter tracker four
Simple but fun😂
Hello Archeology group
Good afternoon everyone
I have a bounty hunter discovery 2200 paid $200 for it I pick up aluminum cans on the $1 dollar signal all the time why is that?
I bought the bounty hunter land ranger. HATE IT. I've been detecting our century ol farm for years. It's hard hard land to hunt, bc of the rocks and soil, but out of all the detectors I've hunted this land with, the bounty hunter has been the least successful. Most successful is the AT pro. I know you get what you pay for, but geez. I'm fixing to sell it. Love your videos and content.
I hadn't touched a metal detector since the early 1960's when my father bought one to look for buried gold my grandfather (who was born in 1880) knew about.
I was an electrical lineman and was in an accident where I received 7200volts of electricity through my body and I fell 20ft. The voltage stopped my heart and I landed on my feet then fell over on my right side.
I crushed several vertebra, ruptured many disc, and destroyed my joints in my hips and knees. I have had both knees scoped and countless shots in all areas. I am not a man that will sit around idol. After many spinal fusions and a right knee replacement I bought a metal detector.
I bought a Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro and the machine is very light and seems to be very sensitive.
I live in Oklahoma and there aren't any civil war relics, or real old coins to look for, but I do live near the site of a Native American massacre site that was carried out by another tribe of Native Americans. The people were wiped out along with their horses and other animals. I have found burial sites when I used to search for flint arrowheads and I will never disrespect, or take anything from a grave. I discovered where a horse had died and melted down with saddle and gear still in tact. At this site I found the remains of a Colt SAA revolver and a .44-40 black powder bullet which had probably been dropped because it was unfired.
I am scheduled to have my left hip replaced in the last part of February. Then in June my left knee will also be replaced. Soon after I will schedule my right hip to be replaced and I will have all new parts. I hope then to be able to get back out and try my metal detector out more. (If I can detect anything but myself.lol) In the mean time I will stay motivated and inspired watching you and your friends dig old coins and relics. Thanks for keeping a beat up old man anticipating doing something besides sitting in a recliner.
Backwards coil in okay I won’t judge haha
My Equinox 800 rip...
have thought about a white metal detector.
Hey can you send one of those metal detectors to me . I'm making an autonomous bot that's going to go back forth on the beach. Im considering the Stryker metal detector for it. Going to do youtube videos on it.
$249.99 on Amazon canada and walmart $249.99 also so this must be USA prices
$99 at Costco
Good evening Mr quarter hoarder please help me because my metal detectors is not working I have no money to by metal detectors I'm sad because my metal detectors not working
Check out Bounty Hunter discovery 3300 on amazon for 125 bucks great beginner machine! as long as you do a manuel ground balance, preset knocks off
a lot of depth!
I understand you are making these videos for someone that may be wanting to get into metal detecting, however, there is a very very important bit of information you forgot to share, these type of detectors which are VLF in technology are not like PI AKA Pulse induction, Air test will not determine the depth it will detect in gound, If your Air test is showing as nine-inch you will be lucky if you get 4 to 5 inches in the ground ( realistically more like 3 to 4 inches) and that is with optimal low minimized soils, Doesn't mean you can't find anything good nonetheless with these introduction detectors, hell a lot of my best finds were only a few inches down, I know you don't want to discourage newcomers to this fantastic hobby but it is something they should be made aware of. Cheers!
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Camel hair? hahahahahahaha
Pull tabs ? Lol
My machine got broke last week by a "Karen" i was on the sidewalk strip and she came over all mad yelling at me to go and so on then kicked my machine off my shovel and snapped my monitor screen off
Then stay in your lane bro, you lucky you didnt meet Karl he probably would have kicked u
@@chrislangley4724 i was on the public strip bub some people just have sh** days i suppose
Why are these still being passed off as made in the USA. It's a China product marketed by a usa holding company. If it takes 9 volt batteries it's not usa. The entire company employs less than a dozen people . Developers, engineers, marketing and research people along with the people performing audits In China. Bounty Hunter, Fisher, Technetics and more. Cheap 1970's VLF tech with bells and whistles marketed through dept stores, amazon and ebay in the sub one hundred dollar range and up.
Hello QUARTER HOARDER I can't afford please give me for my birthday gift 🥰🥰 thank you 🥰🥰
