You need to get with aquachigger to compare notes. He has been using all brands of metal detectors for over 40 years. He recommends to put the Garrett 400 on relics mode and high density for a better signal , with the smaller coil.
I don't think I am on his radar honestly. He used to use the T2 for a while before Garrett snatched him up and gave him a waterproof detector. If Teknetics could have done the same he would be swinging that brand still.
I am so happy you never tire of putting so much into your videos you have a great way to captivate peoples attention ........ well at least mine any way cant tell you enough how much i love your vids.
+John La Fave My wife and I prospect/mine for our gold fix. We simply don't have time to sift through the foil/nickel/aluminum range at a trashy park hoping for a small chance of gold. Pull tab after pull tab does absolutely nothing for me. This is eastern Colorado anyways...farmers and migrant workers. Not so much a jewelry area. Thanks for the comment and best of luck on those rings!. Somebody has to do it...might as well be you! :)
Had the Teknetics Eurotek Pro wich is the same as the LRP but without ground balance and also had at that same time the Ace 250. Both detectors cost almost the same.The Eurotek Pro is much much better then the ace 250. Used them a lott in parcs and the Eurotek performed everytime better then the Ace. It's also lighter, more stable on the VID numbes, has better separation and iron discrimination without losing other targets.
You can cancel out the iron noise by adjusting it on the easy to use controls. The arm fit is also perfect for me. I am a 125 lb lady and find it very light to use. You had me laughing about the weight as it is well worth the extra 1/2 pound. .
Iron audio is either on or off - it is not adjustable. Or you can just disc it out. As far as it being nose-heavy....use a LRP and then you will have a different opinion. There is zero question the LRP is much more ergonomic. ACE and AT series have always been called nose-heavy with the stock coil...nothing new.
@@thehuntergt Being able to turn it on or off is an adjustment so I didn't take it that way. Being able to adjust the strength of iron pick up is that what you meant the other does? I am just carrying two shovels, one a sand shovel and the other a foldable along with the metal detector. I can carry alot but wasn't planning on carrying more. I am sticking to just the one detector at this time.
@@romy4593 On other detectors like the F44 and F19...you can adjust how loud the iron volume is in comparison to the mid and high conductors. On the Ace and AT series...it is whatever loudness the detector is at....and cannot be adjusted independently. That is what I was talking about in the video. This being a VS video that I was asked to do....you might find the review video I did on the Ace a bit more favorable. I did enjoy my time with it. A very capable detector for sure.
thanks i looked at the factory specs on both before i bought and price and your how-to sold me on the bounty hunter especially since i have been using a bounty hunter tracker 4 for the last year. the learning curve with your videos should beway flatter.
Mainly your videos, and 1 other review on this detector by someone else convinced me. I've had it for a week and I'm still getting used to it. I've always had bh detectors, most recently, the land star so my son inherited that. I think bh owes you some form of gratuity, because you can sell this thing better than they can.
Thanks for the review!! Getting into the MD world this spring... WAS narrowed down to the Garrett machines, and thanks to you, now am looking at the LRP! Thanks a lot for pointing out the differences! Subbed!!
Great review but you missed something. The Garret is a 10 khtz where the LRP is only 7 and change. That makes this a deeper runner and a silver killer.
I do not own any detectors at the moment which is why I watched this video. Your bias against the ace is very apparent. You likely should have started the video by saying you own and regularly use the LRP.
Any regular watcher of my channel knows I used the LRP back then. I was sent the Ace 400 by an owner who owned both....and also felt the LRP was far better. He wanted MY take on it. This was it. Made that totally clear in the video. Go use both and make your own bias and opinion. It will surely be similar. LRP beats the Ace in almost every category other than recovery speed. Take care and best of luck with your purchase.
What is the difference between the Bounty Hunter land ranger pro and the Teknetics Liberator? I see the land ranger pro on amazon for $265.91 and the Liberator is on there for $299. If there is no difference then the land ranger pro is a better deal price wise for sure.
Yeah for sure. Nothing in the $250 range comes anywhere close to it options and performance wise. Amazon always has cheapest price on it from what I have seen.
Enjoyed your vid , keep up the digs , I just bought me a Bounty Hunter Land star kit . My first unit , and looking for many years of enjoyment . Thank you for your vids .
I had both the Ace 250 and 350 and to me...the 250 was better...I have also had the Garrett 1000 and a Whites MXT..and it was way to heavy and had features that the average person would never use..it was way overkill...Oh and almost forgot the vintage Garrett Coinmaster...that used like 3 nine volt batteries..
My 400 I took it apart and drilled a small hole on the left lower face and put a small good quality volume control switch the good old kind you turn and extended the armrest tube to move the rest back and works great.
I applaud your ingenuity for sure. However, most people probably do not have the electrical know-how to achieve that. Arm rest was all the way back in video.
Was wondering if you thought the lrp could be adjusted short enough for a child? Was considering the lrp for my 2 daughters who are 7 and 9? I have te garret AT pro which is to heavy for my 7 yr old. So I guess I have two questions do you think it is light enough for a child as far as weight and adjustable to be short enough for children? Thanks
i think the review was excellent. if i were buying for a 13 year old teen who is on the shorter side, and needed a simpler detector, it seems garrett is probably my choice. I don't want to frustrate him with too much adjustability. thoughts? I was actually looking at the 300
Take a look at the Teknetics Digitek...it's on a flash sale right now until Father Day....$129 with my code A1474 on the www.tekneticsdirect.com website. Made for teenagers and is a true performer from the 7.7khz platform. I have a review of it and a live dig as well with my son who is also 13. czcams.com/video/jbXeyKeTkVs/video.html and czcams.com/video/u0hIy3WNrMg/video.html The Teknetics Delta is a bit more powerful and is only $199 with the code. It has ground balance and 2X all metal modes...both things the entire ACE series lack. I'd mark it side by side with the Ace 400 easily.
Wow I came mighty close to purchasing the garret. Do you have a comparison between the BH LRP and the Fisher F5 because this is also in my top 5. The Ace 400 is now gone and the LRP is in. In your opinion, if you were going to spend 300 on one of these, which one would you prefer?
I do not sorry. The F5 is no longer in production...but if you can find one for $250-300 I'd grab it. It is a fair bit better than the LRP and is one of Fishers best coin shooters ever. As of right now my $300 would go into the Simplex...it is waterproof...deeper...faster...than the LRP and F5 both. Just my opinion. Out of those 2 you listed...F5 for sure.
@@thehuntergt Yes i've seen a few and thank you so much for your advise. You basically just made my decision. I've found one place that has them in stock so thanks for your advice.
Very well thought out video, I've been eyeballing the land ranger pro and the ace 300 and/or 400, this really helps with the overall decision, thank you for making this video i'd give it 10 thumbs up if I could
Toe Knee Right on man...glad to help. Thanks for the kind words. LRP is an amazing machine that has really gained steam lately. Sorry to hear the 2200 is acting up. If it is under the warranty send it in and they will take care of you for sure.
TheHunterGT-your welcome, it was very informative. It is under warranty still and have been told they are very easy to deal with, I have my fingers crossed lol. I'm just not sure if I can go that long without my detector hahahaha...keep the awesome videos coming bud
yes the 400 is ok here in new York had the smaller coil on off my ace 150 on the 400 does better at pinpoint, but your right, does dig a lot of junk. ..lol but I'm content with it can't afford at pro I just he this does well on my trip to the beaches of southern California this summer, ,,any advice for those beaches, ,, great video and feedback thanks
+Salvatore zazo Thanks Salvatore. I was born and raised in California and was on the beaches my whole life...unfortunately I was never into metal detecting until I moved to Colorado. Bah! The Ace 400 being a single frequency VLF detector....make sure you stay in the dry sand on a salt beach. It will handle fresh lake water and wet sand GREAT. But the salt water or the wet salt sand will make it go crazy...I will assume. Give it a try and just knock the sensitivity down some if it chatters. Try cycling through the 4 freq channels as well. Might help some but I am doubtful any wet hunting will be spectacular. However...if you stay on the dry portion where people lay on the dry sand I would think you will have a great time.
While it can ground balance to 0 (salt)....it is a single frequency machone and not the best for wet sand or salt water. The dry beach sand it will do fine in.
Just wondering if the fisher f5 coil does in fact work on the land ranger pro? I've heard some say yes and some say no. I see you have I in your video but didn't hook it up. If it does work do you have the part number with the slip in connector for the land ranger pro?
Yes, it does since they are both 7.7kHz. The connection point (push-in vs screw-on) was the only issue. Early F5 had a push-in connector...later models had a screw-on. Fisher no longer makes the F5...but Teknetics still makes the EuroTek which is 7.7kHz and has a push-on. You want the 5COIL-TEKB. That will be the same coil as the F5 original push-in before they switched to screw-on and discontinued it entirely. Just has a different sticker slapped on it for Teknetics.
@TheHunterGT Thanks for the speedy reply! I tried the 5coil-tekb and it didn't work at all on my land ranger pro. Maybe I got a defective coil? I should have run a continuity check on it but just returned it. It also had an extra pin in the connector. Possible the pin out is different then the lrp 11 inch coil?
@@edibles_and_exotics My pleasure. It must have been a bad coil, which is super rare. The TEKB 100% works with the LRP unless they changed something in the last couple years. The "B" is to designate the connector type as push-in. The F5 push-in coil was 5COIL-F5...when they changed to screw-in was 5COIL-F5F. Ebay has a few F5 coils...some mislabeled...or the pics are wrong...not sure. As far as pinout...the female end is 6-pin...so will accept the older F5 6-pin...or the newer Greek series 5-pins. The 6th pin on the older male ends are disabled anyways...from what I understand. Many "spare part" 240 degree 6-pin females also have the middle pin disabled and are actually 5-pin. It gets complicated...
Try this one. It says "push-in". They may have changed something on the Tek-B with the Euro-Tek...but I doubt it. www.seriousdetecting.com/product/teknetics-5-round-white-dd-coil-teknetics-detectors/
@TheHunterGT You're awesome, thanks! I got another 5coil-tekb and it worked! Guess the first one was no good! I plugged it in the land ranger pro and I was off and hunting! Looks like it goes about 7 to 8 inches on an air test with a gold ring. I can't wait to find some treasure with the new coil! The 11dd coil is great but it is bulky in those tight areas!
Land Ranger Pro has All Metal mode....quick and manual ground balance...adjustable notch width....4 tones...3 preset and 3 customizable modes. It is well worth the extra 80$ if you can afford it.
Interested in getting into metal detecting (gold nugget shooting, in particular) and wonder if anyone knows of a list of detectors that have external speakers? I think the $2100 Garrett ATX does but as a beginner I want to start-off by buying one in the few-hundred-dollar range. Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to models that have external speakers.
Almost all detectors have a speaker you can hear. That speaker will turn off when you plug in headphones. Best nugget detector for the price is the Gold Bug from Fisher Labs. amzn.to/2xaiAif
I had to cut a speaker wire ,and put a 200ohm potentiometer connected to each end...as I am not a fan of headphones. Works great now. Just dial it in to the exact volume you need.
Great Info, that was the best comparison video of competitive detectors I've seen. Any chance you will comparing the Garrett Ace 250 against the Bounty Hunter Time Ranger anytime soon. They are more in my price range
Thanks you I appreciate that! I no longer have the Time Ranger sorry. I gave it away on the channel here a few months back. The Land Ranger Pro is down to $255 on Amazon...and the Quick Draw Pro is only $164. Both beat the Ace 250 with ease.
It seemed to only find quaters.At those depths. I was at WasagaBeach freshwater. and its a real loose sand this time of year. As they rake the sand. I have on average gotten silver in our soil at 8-9 but we do have a medium-low soil.
Out of those 3 choices, the LRP is easily the best performer with the most options. However, the F44 is a step above the LRP in my opinion...if your budget allows.
@@thehuntergt HI , could you elaborate a little on how the Fisher f44 is a step above the LRP/liberator detectors? Thanks. I'm interested in these also.
@@TheArgos12 First Texas considers Fisher to be their "premium" end and puts extra little proprietary "secret sauce" into them that the Teknetics and Bounty Hunters do not. F44 will actually handle mineralization a bit better than the LRP. Also more sensitive to smaller objects. Has a backlight - adjustable tones for each category - iron meter. I just feel it is a step above the LRP slightly. Just my opinion though!
I am about to order an ace 400.. After reading the comments though I'm not so sure, I really can't make up my mind, I have an older detector but would like to upgrade. What would you reccomend as the best for me. I'm in the price range f $300-400 and would like to also use it on dry beaches as well as fields etc
There is no best...it is all about what you feel comfortable spending your $ on. I think Garrett should have done much better on the 400. Ground balance...volume adjust....all metal mode. I see no reason it does not have it other than laziness. For my $$..the LRP or F44 would be my picks....as they have all of that for the same price or cheaper.
TheHunterGT Thank you so much, I appreciate the information and knowledge you share with us! Glad I watched this video just minutes before buying! Now you don't need to answer this one, but if you had to pick what would you go with what would it be? Now I know it depends of preferance, where you live and a few other things but now I have to chose either LRP or F44?.. They are both in my price range, my soil is sandy and I will probably spend some time on the beech. I know you're not an expert but you know more then me, being a beginner and all! :)
I am returning to MD after long absence. I have spent many hours on the computer. Final decision: F44 with DD coil. 44 is.$309.00. DD $30.00 extra. Also purchase a 7inch concentrate coil $60.00. this gives me 2 coils for $90…00. Total $400.00. Any thoughts ?????? Navydad navydad@juno,com Lots of red (iron) clay sand beaches on fresh water lakes old houses.
+EccentricInTexasDigs Thanks man. I like it alot as well. Seeing the Ace 400 flatline in my soil like the LRP did gave me a bit of hope. The LRP does go deeper in my terrible soil...no doubt about it. With the extra features included and fine tuning capabilities...it's a home run.
The 300i does not have iron audio and runs at 8khz instead of 10khz like the 400i. Also comes with the 7”x10” concentric coil...while the 400i has the 8.5”x11” DD. Other then that they are identical. IMO the 300i is the better buy for the $$ and how/what I hunt.
I really enjoy your videos. I think you are one of the best when it comes to reviewing metal detectors. This particular review was of interest as I have the Ace 400, but have been thinking of getting an LRP or Whites Treasure Pro. Thanks for another great informational video!
Thanks smokey I really appreciate that man. Funny you mention that as it was down to those two for me as well at one point. Really like the look of the TreasurePro...great design to it.
Was just wondering what was it that swayed you to LRP over the Whites Treasure Pro? I really like the single notch discrimination and being able to widen it. Truly customizable in my opinion of any lower to mid priced detector.
IDK...had a couple buddies from TNET forums who owned them and had great finds. Started with Bounty Hunter machines and they always treated me well...so decided to stick with what I knew and what my mentors knew.
sad hvacman That's what I'm leaning towards sad hvacman... after talking to a few people who have had the Whites Treasure Pro, it has kinda changed my mind.
I live right on the ocean. metal detectors in the past have always acted erratic or false signals. I like the ACE 400 and the ACE350. Just wondering how other people worked in going from dry to wet salt water sand. otherwise black sand?
Sorry for late response...slipped through the cracks. Not sure about beach detecting as I live in Colorado and have not detected a salt beach. I do know single frequency VLF detectors do NOT handle salt water very well at all and will false and chatter quite a it. Turning down the sensitivity way low is one way to cope with it. IMO...the ACE 400 is not a good detector to buy if you plan on salt water or black sand hunting.
+thehuntergt Thx man, my only real concern is the ground balance feature and if having it on the beach will make that much difference. and the lack of incremental settings changes that can be made on the lrp that cannot be made on the Garrett. I'm planning on probably doing 95% or more of my hunting on the sand specifically on California beaches. ?thus far I have not seen any videos of California beach hunting with the ace 400 that have shown a negative sand effect? and did I mention how much I really truly hate the buttons on the lrp lol.. man this is a tough decision LOL
I would really like to know if you think the BHLRP is still a good detector in its price range or if you are aware of something better that has taken its place. Thanks for do a great video showing the difference between these.
@@thehuntergt I ask because f44 is also deep and here is the proof, czcams.com/video/T3Oz-Asa1NM/video.html and I can't find something like that for a patriot on youtube
Any detector will do for fresh water beaches. Since there is nothing fully waterproof for that price I would say the Teknetics Liberator is probably the best price to performance ratio while it is on sale. It is the exact same detector as the Land Ranger Pro in this video...with a different name and faceplate. As of right now it can be had for $219 on the www.tekneticsdirect.com website with my code...A1474. Limited time offer that will probably be ending soon.
I have the Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro and this weekend I'll be picking up a Garrett Ace 250. I'm going to do a comparison video since they are roughly the same price for entry-level machines. I started with a bounty hunter 1100, then I got a tracker IV and now I have to Lone Star Pro. I like Bounty Hunter but everyone's telling me to go Garrett. I'm going to give it a try and we will see. Love your videos by the way love your videos by the way! Keep them coming!
I figure the LSP will hang with the Ace 250. I was not greatly impressed with the AT Pro or Max...or Ace 400. Some guys click really well with them...I did not. Best of luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
Have you tried a whites mx7 or mx sport by any chance? I'm torn between a teknetics Patriot or land ranger pro, whites mx7, nokta impact, or an equinox 600. Ahhh so many good metal detectors don't know which one to choose lol. My first metal detector was a bounty Hunter Quicksilver which I got for 200$ and I still have it but the off button broke. I now have a whites coinmaster which is built better than the Quicksilver but I don't like it as much because it's not that sensitive. Appreciate all the tests and reviews you do. I want an upgrade and a metal detector that should work ok in gold country. Thanks for everything you do.
I have not tried the Whites machines sorry. I have a friend or two with one and they have already moved on to other detectors. Out of those detectors you mentioned I feel the Impact is the deepest for sure. Probably one of the fastest on recovery speed and separation in iron as well. If you would like to talk pricing give me an email at thehuntergt@gmail.com
volume control is very useful when you're in a neighborhood full of dogs. and out here we have people with dogs that bark even if you whisper half the time
my wife bought me the LRP and I love I t. I did want a At Pro but it was a little t o pricey thanks for the comparison as I was afraid the LRP might not be very good
Don;t be afraid as the LRP is very good. As far as I am concerned it is still one of the best deals in all of detecting for price vs performance ratio. I have another coming soon as I 100% regret selling mine. Even with a T2 and a F19 sitting in the house. Thanks for watching!
TheHunterGT I'm not that Inpressed with my AT Gold I went to the beach and it was almost unusable in wet sand.Why they call it an all terrain? pfff. The LRP has all the options I want exept backlight or do they have some with backlight now? Also did they fix the pp and menu buttons on the newer models?
Detecting is Therapy They don't...that is from a pre-release photo. They were going to add it but decided not to. Also... the Teknetics Liberator is only $219 right now at www.tekneticsdirect.com. Same exact machine as LRP. Just use my code A1474 for the discount.
If you do not water hunt...neither. Get a Teknetics Patriot for $399 which is much better than an AT Pro for dry land condition (in my opinion). Check my Patriot vs At Pro video out...it may interest you. However, if you are dead set on Garrett (or waterproofing) might as well get the AT Pro...it is better than the Ace 300 by a fair margin.
TheHunterGT. wowsa!! great job with the video, will pull the trigger on buying one....I think they are out of stock....maybe i should all them tomorrow etc. either way...many thanks....had no idea there was that big a difference!!!
ok, now that you have helped me out already, I request your wisdom yet again!!! This guy on craigslist claims he has a "new in box" teknetics T2 (not sure if its the classic or SE) for sale, $200. Is the patriot an upgraded T2? 200 sounds too good to be true but I will have to test it etc etc. otherwise I will go ahead and buy the patriot from the inernet etc. Thanks!!!
So many great videos on my fav LRP. Hunter can you suggest a seccond coil for LRP.Not a sniper coil just seeking a seccond coil for.old faithful :-) :-) :-)
I have heard about it - but would prefer it came out of the factory with a volume control. The fact most detectors don't have the capability out of the box is beyond ridiculous. Thanks for commenting Gordon. HH
I prefer having the garrets automatic ground balance rather than the lrp manual balance. I think you also didnt set up the Garret right thats why you couldnt get those coins. Someone else on another video shows you how to set up the Garret. Also for finding gold nuggets isnt the Garret better.
It ok to think whatever you want....but the Garrett was setup perfect. It is not a tough machine to learn and is well under my capabilities to understand. It does not have auto ground balancing....it is fixed at 82. Meaning there is none at all. Neither machine is used for nugget hunting. Especially not the Garret with no GB or all metal mode.
good video thanks i wish that all the company,s lisent to the costomers That the most complans are:Not to havy Coil or weigtColor NOT yelloThe wijdt of the arm rest ( the size of garret its ok!, All the Fishers are to wijde!Pretty Tone ( same like xp or golden maskAdjustebel armrest , And Volumecontrol on the tones! Im sure that when the do that,the sales for everybody go up to 40% Good luck!
It is apparent that you favor the Land Ranger...your dialogue seems a bit bias to me. Example: when detecting the Nickle the Land ranger was just as much all over the map yet you tried and tried again to make it seem better than the Garrett. just sayin
It should be apparent as it is the better detector than the Ace 400 by a fair margin. If the Ace 400 was better I would have gushed over it and shown my bias there. Both are mediocre at best on nickels with the edge going slightly to the LRP in my opinion. Perhaps it is not shown in the video properly...but anybody with enough hours on both would come to the same conclusion. For the record I am also biased to the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT over the Fisher/Bounty Hunter pointer...which is borderline terrible. Thanks for commenting!
The HunterGT..... I recently saw another video (by you or someone else) about the Ranger pro having trouble reading a nickle (depending on your angle of sweep!) at 4 inches. Any more input you can give me?
Not really. It absolutely struggles with nickels..even in soft soils. Many detectors do in this price range. Gold range is great on rings and other round objects....but nickels are a struggle for it. Just keep in mind that if it bounces lower than 35 (34/33)...nickel. Higher than 35 (36/37/38)...pulltab. So while the machine may struggle...the user can easily tell the difference most of the time.
Hi, You are going Excellent I want a favor from you Which metal detector is best for Gold detector almost 1.5 to 2 depth range ? I'm waiting for your reply
Thank you so much Richard. Tons of Land Ranger Pro hunts coming up. Some gold prospecting videos with the Gold Bug as well. Going to be a great MDing season
as far as the LRP goes I just hunted the Worlds longest freshwater beach. And it was locking on to old Canadian silver dry sand 10 and wet 13.. it's my go to machine...
+Richard Mohns Wet sand that is NOT salt but is fresh water should give an extra bit of depth. Those Canadian silvers must be large to go that deep. Congrats on the LRP...a great detector. Thank you for watching!
TheHunterGT Cool thx much.. I am in between the lrp and the ace 400. Looking at mostly Beach/sand & use and water use in California. Your video, great by the way, leans more towards the lrp. But there are so many more reviews leaning towards the ace 400. The ratio is staggering on the side of the ace. Not to mention I can find dozens of Garrett ace 400 videos on the sand or at the beach but I can't seem to find hardly any of the lrp other than those on land, dirt, grass?
The Ace outsells the LRP for sure and is a popular choice because it is a Garrett and they make the AT Pro. Bounty Hunter seems to have a unfair reputation for being intro or starter units. That is not the case for the Land Ranger Pro. It is based off the same Frats Bros 7.69khz technology as the Teknetics Omega/Gamma and the Fisher F5 and F44. All proven to be leaps beyond the Ace 400. I'm from California...lived there 24 years before moving to Colorado. It you want to beach hunt and also go to grassy parks and relics sites and the ever changing California conditions...you want the LRP. The LRP can manually ground balance to 0 (salt) and the Ace is pre-set at 82 and never changes from that 82. Night and day difference.
Great video. I would like your opinion, if youth doing mind. I have a 9 year old and 7 year old daughter who I would like to buy a metal detector for. I was considering one of the ace models probably 300 or higher I've also thought about the lrp. I haven't Garrett ATI but that is to heavy for the seven-year-old to swing she has tried need something lighter but still has the bells and whistles not wanting to kiddish like a toy and would like to keep it under 300 any suggestions or thoughts. Thank you.
+Steve Klein My area of Colorado has some of the worst soil I have ever seen for metal detector usage. Plenty of experienced users on the TreasureNet forums have commented on how terrible it is. A true test for any detector.
+TheHunterGT hey bro...I watch all your detector review in the market for a new detector I have the bh sharp shooter 2 also purchased to 10in magnum coil can't really tell the difference from the stock coil,now I had my eye on 3 the ace 400,the land Ranger pro and the at pro.i watch the review with the ace 400 vs land ranger pro and the bounty hunter out did the ace 400 and I saw a comment about the at pro vs the bounty land ranger pro and you made a comment about the 2 being neck and neck in your opinion besides the at pro being water proof which in your opinion is the better detector? Anyone else feel free to comment on the 2 detectors.
Pinche Pendejo bra i dont know those people I don't ride with them got a uncle that rode with them and one that that still does I'm not in there business. you asked about the east side I was just giving the general area that I'm familiar with. that biker shit gay any way. but 👍 luck and ☺ hunting.
The F5 would be the better of the two...but only slightly. Land Ranger Pro is very good for the price. They are no longer making the F5....it will be discontinued soon from what I hear.
Good detector for the price...especially if you utilize the weatherproofing and hunt in the rain. Can rinse it off with a water hose which is great. Good depth to 6-7 inch range...where 90% of all objects are.
Hello Howie! The Land Ranger Pro is $248 on Amazon as I type this. A better deal would be the Teknetics Liberator. It is the EXACT same machine with a patriotic face plate and patriotic name. They are selling for $219 when you use my code A1474 at www.tekneticsdirect.com
I cannot say to be honest. I know it works just fine on beaches here in California. My mother found a gold ring her 3rd dig ever and plenty of coins as well.
gonna be getting into this hobby for thefirst time and gonna get the bh gold digger then once I find enough coins with that pass that to my son who has a fetish for bottle caps lol and upgrade with the bh LRP
Well there are plenty of those for him in this hobby. Hell...let him go in front of you and clean them up lol. The LRP is one of the best price to performance detectors in all of detecting. You will have loads of fun with it.
Did you have the Bounty Hunter in this video? Didn't think so. I had fun with the Ace 400. Almost kept another when it came through on a trade. However, when I already have superior machines as my 3rd and 4th backup...no point.
The LRP is $100 less than the Ace 400 as I type this....it is also deeper...has more tone options...has modulated audio...volume control on the unit...all-metal mode......Vbreak....notching width (not category notch). Yeah...it sucks. We can talk about the AT Pro and AT Max in the other videos I put up.....I'm sure you will be a big fan of those.
nw prospecting and outdoors I like how this guy details out his preference in a 25 minute video, and you barf out a generic unsupported opinion in a comment. Good job jackass.
I have used both detectors back and forth for the last 6 months and I'd have to say that the ace 400 is more accurate. I can find coins at spots with the ace where I've gone over with the lrp. The ace is definitely better at targeting.
great comparison video, most vids just show a few differences and then go on a hunt. I like the comparisons because I am looking to upgrade at least into this grade of detector and this helped a lot. Thanks!
If you watched the Ace 400 review I did...I quite enjoyed it and rated it well. I even give it an 8.5 of 10 towards the end of this video. Hardly bashing...
Land Ranger Pro is a no doubt better detector, read this first www.comparedetectors.com/tier-1---low-cost.html A detector without a ground balance is a handicapped machine offering you much less versatility, depth and stability. Get Land Ranger and don't even consider Aces.
You need to get with aquachigger to compare notes. He has been using all brands of metal detectors for over 40 years. He recommends to put the Garrett 400 on relics mode and high density for a better signal , with the smaller coil.
I don't think I am on his radar honestly. He used to use the T2 for a while before Garrett snatched him up and gave him a waterproof detector. If Teknetics could have done the same he would be swinging that brand still.
Thank you! You have helped me make my decision between those choices. Land Ranger Pro for the win!
My pleasure. You are making the right decision!
And how with land ranger pro? Good choise or not?
I am so happy you never tire of putting so much into your videos you have a great way to captivate peoples attention ........ well at least mine any way cant tell you enough how much i love your vids.
Thanks Jimmy! I really appreciate that man. You keep watching and I'll keep making videos!
Found the ranger pro under $240 so with size of screen and all the adjustments the price was bonkers for me,bought it March 2018
Right on Scott! Best of luck with it...great detector.
I wish i would have watched this video a few days ago. Ordered the 400 & new to detecting.
Ace 400 was a fun detector and it will find the goods. You should have fun with it and do well. I did in the short time I had it.
Gold rings ring in as pull tabs on almost every metal detector. I would not filter out pull tabs and I would listen to thoughs low tones. Thanks:)
+John La Fave My wife and I prospect/mine for our gold fix. We simply don't have time to sift through the foil/nickel/aluminum range at a trashy park hoping for a small chance of gold. Pull tab after pull tab does absolutely nothing for me.
This is eastern Colorado anyways...farmers and migrant workers. Not so much a jewelry area.
Thanks for the comment and best of luck on those rings!. Somebody has to do it...might as well be you! :)
I usually use my ML but my fall back is a BH ranger. Had it for years, it’s tougher than nails. Still works perfect and worth the money
Had the Teknetics Eurotek Pro wich is the same as the LRP but without ground balance and also had at that same time the Ace 250. Both detectors cost almost the same.The Eurotek Pro is much much better then the ace 250. Used them a lott in parcs and the Eurotek performed everytime better then the Ace. It's also lighter, more stable on the VID numbes, has better separation and iron discrimination without losing other targets.
You can cancel out the iron noise by adjusting it on the easy to use controls. The arm fit is also perfect for me. I am a 125 lb lady and find it very light to use. You had me laughing about the weight as it is well worth the extra 1/2 pound. .
Iron audio is either on or off - it is not adjustable. Or you can just disc it out. As far as it being nose-heavy....use a LRP and then you will have a different opinion. There is zero question the LRP is much more ergonomic. ACE and AT series have always been called nose-heavy with the stock coil...nothing new.
@@thehuntergt Being able to turn it on or off is an adjustment so I didn't take it that way. Being able to adjust the strength of iron pick up is that what you meant the other does? I am just carrying two shovels, one a sand shovel and the other a foldable along with the metal detector. I can carry alot but wasn't planning on carrying more. I am sticking to just the one detector at this time.
@@romy4593 On other detectors like the F44 and F19...you can adjust how loud the iron volume is in comparison to the mid and high conductors. On the Ace and AT series...it is whatever loudness the detector is at....and cannot be adjusted independently. That is what I was talking about in the video.
This being a VS video that I was asked to do....you might find the review video I did on the Ace a bit more favorable. I did enjoy my time with it. A very capable detector for sure.
thanks i looked at the factory specs on both before i bought and price and your how-to sold me on the bounty hunter especially since i have been using a bounty hunter tracker 4 for the last year. the learning curve with your videos should beway flatter.
It's a complicated machine at first...but one it clicks it is easy as can be. There are multiple ways to run in with great success.
Now the Ameritek Liberator (essentially a LRP) with the 11" DD coil is closing out at $219, there just is no comparison for the money.
ChuckVT Agreed!
Mainly your videos, and 1 other review on this detector by someone else convinced me. I've had it for a week and I'm still getting used to it. I've always had bh detectors, most recently, the land star so my son inherited that.
I think bh owes you some form of gratuity, because you can sell this thing better than they can.
Thanks! They have treated me very well and sponsored me for a good two years. LRP is still to the day the king of all detectors in the $250 range.
Thanks for the review!! Getting into the MD world this spring... WAS narrowed down to the Garrett machines, and thanks to you, now am looking at the LRP! Thanks a lot for pointing out the differences!
Subbed!!
My pleasure Brandon. Best of luck with the LRP. I have been using it quite a bit lately and continuously surprised at it for the price.
Great review but you missed something. The Garret is a 10 khtz where the LRP is only 7 and change. That makes this a deeper runner and a silver killer.
Yes indeed the LRP is a bit deeper in head to head tests. The only real win for the Ace over the LRP is recovery speed. The Ace 400 was very fast.
F44 recovery speed is better than ace400i or not? Help and thanks
Useful vid. I have the land langer pro i just noticed it's better than most cheap detectors
I do not own any detectors at the moment which is why I watched this video. Your bias against the ace is very apparent. You likely should have started the video by saying you own and regularly use the LRP.
Any regular watcher of my channel knows I used the LRP back then. I was sent the Ace 400 by an owner who owned both....and also felt the LRP was far better. He wanted MY take on it. This was it. Made that totally clear in the video. Go use both and make your own bias and opinion. It will surely be similar. LRP beats the Ace in almost every category other than recovery speed. Take care and best of luck with your purchase.
Thanks alot, your video is interesting and encouraging, am ordering for a Land Ranger pro, hope to use it well
Right on Ema. Best of luck with it. Great detector for sure.
LRP is very good detector ,i have this and im very happy how small things this detector can find
Glad to hear you are liking it Gero. Best of luck with it.
I hope I can have that device someday.... Greeting here from Philippines
What is the difference between the Bounty Hunter land ranger pro and the Teknetics Liberator? I see the land ranger pro on amazon for $265.91 and the Liberator is on there for $299. If there is no difference then the land ranger pro is a better deal price wise for sure.
There is no difference other than the faceplate and branding name. Exact same detector. Check my link in description!
@@thehuntergt Yup that was the link i found on amazon. Is this the best detector in that price range for tot lot and coin hunting?
Yeah for sure. Nothing in the $250 range comes anywhere close to it options and performance wise. Amazon always has cheapest price on it from what I have seen.
Enjoyed your vid , keep up the digs ,
I just bought me a Bounty Hunter Land star kit .
My first unit , and looking for many years of enjoyment .
Thank you for your vids .
I had both the Ace 250 and 350 and to me...the 250 was better...I have also had the Garrett 1000 and a Whites MXT..and it was way to heavy and had features that the average person would never use..it was way overkill...Oh and almost forgot the vintage Garrett Coinmaster...that used like 3 nine volt batteries..
How would you rate the met to the land ranger?
Xelou,vu reklamiryete md ot ofihealnogo dilira ?
My 400 I took it apart and drilled a small hole on the left lower face and put a small good quality volume control switch the good old kind you turn and extended the armrest tube to move the rest back and works great.
I applaud your ingenuity for sure. However, most people probably do not have the electrical know-how to achieve that. Arm rest was all the way back in video.
Was wondering if you thought the lrp could be adjusted short enough for a child? Was considering the lrp for my 2 daughters who are 7 and 9? I have te garret AT pro which is to heavy for my 7 yr old. So I guess I have two questions do you think it is light enough for a child as far as weight and adjustable to be short enough for children? Thanks
Jason Field I would say no... probably not. The Digitek would be perfect however. I know my kids would have struggled with the LRP at those ages.
i think the review was excellent. if i were buying for a 13 year old teen who is on the shorter side, and needed a simpler detector, it seems garrett is probably my choice. I don't want to frustrate him with too much adjustability. thoughts? I was actually looking at the 300
Take a look at the Teknetics Digitek...it's on a flash sale right now until Father Day....$129 with my code A1474 on the www.tekneticsdirect.com website. Made for teenagers and is a true performer from the 7.7khz platform. I have a review of it and a live dig as well with my son who is also 13.
czcams.com/video/jbXeyKeTkVs/video.html and czcams.com/video/u0hIy3WNrMg/video.html
The Teknetics Delta is a bit more powerful and is only $199 with the code. It has ground balance and 2X all metal modes...both things the entire ACE series lack. I'd mark it side by side with the Ace 400 easily.
TheHunterGT How do I use your code? I wanna buy the Delta 4000
Thank you so much! After you hit buy and get into the checkout process there will be a box to enter it.
I DO BH RANGER - much better than garett , before had deus xp and Bounty hunter find goods who deus miss ... PRICE to QUALITY -BH is the best
Wow I came mighty close to purchasing the garret. Do you have a comparison between the BH LRP and the Fisher F5 because this is also in my top 5. The Ace 400 is now gone and the LRP is in. In your opinion, if you were going to spend 300 on one of these, which one would you prefer?
I do not sorry. The F5 is no longer in production...but if you can find one for $250-300 I'd grab it. It is a fair bit better than the LRP and is one of Fishers best coin shooters ever. As of right now my $300 would go into the Simplex...it is waterproof...deeper...faster...than the LRP and F5 both. Just my opinion. Out of those 2 you listed...F5 for sure.
@@thehuntergt Yes i've seen a few and thank you so much for your advise. You basically just made my decision. I've found one place that has them in stock so thanks for your advice.
Very well thought out video, I've been eyeballing the land ranger pro and the ace 300 and/or 400, this really helps with the overall decision, thank you for making this video i'd give it 10 thumbs up if I could
I have a BH discovery 2200 right now and it's starting to give out on me so time to move to a higher quality now
Toe Knee Right on man...glad to help. Thanks for the kind words. LRP is an amazing machine that has really gained steam lately. Sorry to hear the 2200 is acting up. If it is under the warranty send it in and they will take care of you for sure.
TheHunterGT-your welcome, it was very informative. It is under warranty still and have been told they are very easy to deal with, I have my fingers crossed lol. I'm just not sure if I can go that long without my detector hahahaha...keep the awesome videos coming bud
yes the 400 is ok here in new York
had the smaller coil on off my ace 150 on the 400 does better at pinpoint,
but your right, does dig a lot of junk. ..lol
but I'm content with it can't afford at pro
I just he this does well on my trip to the beaches of southern California
this summer, ,,any advice for those beaches, ,, great video and feedback
thanks
+Salvatore zazo Thanks Salvatore. I was born and raised in California and was on the beaches my whole life...unfortunately I was never into metal detecting until I moved to Colorado. Bah!
The Ace 400 being a single frequency VLF detector....make sure you stay in the dry sand on a salt beach. It will handle fresh lake water and wet sand GREAT. But the salt water or the wet salt sand will make it go crazy...I will assume.
Give it a try and just knock the sensitivity down some if it chatters. Try cycling through the 4 freq channels as well. Might help some but I am doubtful any wet hunting will be spectacular.
However...if you stay on the dry portion where people lay on the dry sand I would think you will have a great time.
+TheHunterGT does the land ranger pro works on salt water?
While it can ground balance to 0 (salt)....it is a single frequency machone and not the best for wet sand or salt water. The dry beach sand it will do fine in.
+TheHunterGT thank you i order land ranger in Gmarket but no arriving yet..
Can anyone tell me what is depth of bounty hunter land ranger pro ( i wanna hunt underground 3-4 feet is good for me ?)
No detector will hit 3-4 feet unless you are looking for a large buried cache. It would need to be the size of microwave oven to hit at 3-4 feet.
Just wondering if the fisher f5 coil does in fact work on the land ranger pro? I've heard some say yes and some say no. I see you have I in your video but didn't hook it up. If it does work do you have the part number with the slip in connector for the land ranger pro?
Yes, it does since they are both 7.7kHz. The connection point (push-in vs screw-on) was the only issue. Early F5 had a push-in connector...later models had a screw-on. Fisher no longer makes the F5...but Teknetics still makes the EuroTek which is 7.7kHz and has a push-on. You want the 5COIL-TEKB. That will be the same coil as the F5 original push-in before they switched to screw-on and discontinued it entirely. Just has a different sticker slapped on it for Teknetics.
@TheHunterGT
Thanks for the speedy reply! I tried the 5coil-tekb and it didn't work at all on my land ranger pro. Maybe I got a defective coil? I should have run a continuity check on it but just returned it. It also had an extra pin in the connector. Possible the pin out is different then the lrp 11 inch coil?
@@edibles_and_exotics My pleasure. It must have been a bad coil, which is super rare. The TEKB 100% works with the LRP unless they changed something in the last couple years. The "B" is to designate the connector type as push-in. The F5 push-in coil was 5COIL-F5...when they changed to screw-in was 5COIL-F5F. Ebay has a few F5 coils...some mislabeled...or the pics are wrong...not sure.
As far as pinout...the female end is 6-pin...so will accept the older F5 6-pin...or the newer Greek series 5-pins. The 6th pin on the older male ends are disabled anyways...from what I understand. Many "spare part" 240 degree 6-pin females also have the middle pin disabled and are actually 5-pin. It gets complicated...
Try this one. It says "push-in". They may have changed something on the Tek-B with the Euro-Tek...but I doubt it. www.seriousdetecting.com/product/teknetics-5-round-white-dd-coil-teknetics-detectors/
@TheHunterGT
You're awesome, thanks! I got another 5coil-tekb and it worked! Guess the first one was no good! I plugged it in the land ranger pro and I was off and hunting! Looks like it goes about 7 to 8 inches on an air test with a gold ring. I can't wait to find some treasure with the new coil! The 11dd coil is great but it is bulky in those tight areas!
I only wish the menus would stay on longer.
can anybody tell me the difference. between the quick draw pro and the land ranger pro?
Land Ranger Pro has All Metal mode....quick and manual ground balance...adjustable notch width....4 tones...3 preset and 3 customizable modes. It is well worth the extra 80$ if you can afford it.
Interested in getting into metal detecting (gold nugget shooting, in particular) and wonder if anyone knows of a list of detectors that have external speakers? I think the $2100 Garrett ATX does but as a beginner I want to start-off by buying one in the few-hundred-dollar range. Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to models that have external speakers.
Almost all detectors have a speaker you can hear. That speaker will turn off when you plug in headphones. Best nugget detector for the price is the Gold Bug from Fisher Labs. amzn.to/2xaiAif
Good video . Garrett 400 volume should be adjustable , as it can really irritate others trying to have a quiet walk in the park .do-da
Agreed. One of my biggest complaints about it (or any detector).
I had to cut a speaker wire ,and put a 200ohm potentiometer connected to each end...as I am not a fan of headphones. Works great now. Just dial it in to the exact volume you need.
In Amazon the LRPRO is about U$ 230 and LRPLR U$300. Are there diferences betwen them?
I am unsure. Might be a seller difference. The $233 is the one to get right now.
Great Info, that was the best comparison video of competitive detectors I've seen. Any chance you will comparing the Garrett Ace 250 against the Bounty Hunter Time Ranger anytime soon. They are more in my price range
Thanks you I appreciate that! I no longer have the Time Ranger sorry. I gave it away on the channel here a few months back. The Land Ranger Pro is down to $255 on Amazon...and the Quick Draw Pro is only $164. Both beat the Ace 250 with ease.
It seemed to only find quaters.At those depths. I was at WasagaBeach freshwater. and its a real loose sand this time of year. As they rake the sand. I have on average gotten silver in our soil at 8-9 but we do have a medium-low soil.
I’m torn between the Fisher F22 and these 2 units. Which would you recommend of the 3? I’d appreciate your input if you get time thanks!
Out of those 3 choices, the LRP is easily the best performer with the most options. However, the F44 is a step above the LRP in my opinion...if your budget allows.
@@thehuntergt HI , could you elaborate a little on how the Fisher f44 is a step above the LRP/liberator detectors? Thanks. I'm interested in these also.
@@TheArgos12 First Texas considers Fisher to be their "premium" end and puts extra little proprietary "secret sauce" into them that the Teknetics and Bounty Hunters do not. F44 will actually handle mineralization a bit better than the LRP. Also more sensitive to smaller objects. Has a backlight - adjustable tones for each category - iron meter. I just feel it is a step above the LRP slightly. Just my opinion though!
@@thehuntergt will the f44 or the LRP/liberator ground balance to wet sand?
@@TheArgos12 Yes. Both will GB to 0 (salt)...but only in manual mode. They will not GB lower than 40 with the quick grab option.
if you could choose the Garrett 400i or the Fisher F44 what would you guys choose. im thinking about the F44
Sorry I just was this...I would absolutely choose the F44 over the Ace 400. B3est of luck.
Very nice. Best of luck to you both. Big gold and silver!
I dont know if you know about or used a BH Platinum, and if you have what is your opinion of it?....thanks and a very good video..
Are you on a concrete floor ? And would that through off your test ?
No rebar in that floor...poured it myself.
Why not use one on each arm to detect twice the loot. 🧠
thank you
but I have to ask ,,,
can I put a coil from 250 or 150
on the 400
+Salvatore zazo From what I understand...yes...the coils are compatible.
Thank you
Your one side for sure Bounty Hunter lover.
Yes, I like the superior product. I hope you didn't strain your intellect figuring that out.
isn't the Discovery 3300 even better than the LRP , also the LRP looks pretty cheap imo
The LRP is far superior to the 3300....it is the pinnacle of the Bounty Hunter lineup.
Is it the land ranger pro watterproof ? Can i use it in the beach ?
The coil is water proof up to the connection at the control box. Do not get the connection or box wet. Works well on the beach.
Garrett 400i vs BH Land ranger pro vs Fisher F44?? Help to decide
F44 is in my opinion the best of those 3. Faster - better processing - better tone setup - better battery setup - more ergonomic.
I am about to order an ace 400.. After reading the comments though I'm not so sure, I really can't make up my mind, I have an older detector but would like to upgrade. What would you reccomend as the best for me. I'm in the price range f $300-400 and would like to also use it on dry beaches as well as fields etc
There is no best...it is all about what you feel comfortable spending your $ on. I think Garrett should have done much better on the 400. Ground balance...volume adjust....all metal mode. I see no reason it does not have it other than laziness. For my $$..the LRP or F44 would be my picks....as they have all of that for the same price or cheaper.
TheHunterGT Thank you so much, I appreciate the information and knowledge you share with us! Glad I watched this video just minutes before buying! Now you don't need to answer this one, but if you had to pick what would you go with what would it be? Now I know it depends of preferance, where you live and a few other things but now I have to chose either LRP or F44?.. They are both in my price range, my soil is sandy and I will probably spend some time on the beech. I know you're not an expert but you know more then me, being a beginner and all! :)
Taen Land Ranger Pro
I blew at my screen to get the “eyelash “ off... bastard lol
I am returning to MD after long absence. I have spent many hours on the computer. Final decision:
F44 with DD coil. 44 is.$309.00. DD $30.00 extra. Also purchase a 7inch concentrate coil $60.00. this gives me 2 coils for $90…00. Total $400.00. Any thoughts ??????

Good Vid, I like my Land Ranger Pro very much and I am hoping to use it more later on this summer.
+EccentricInTexasDigs Thanks man. I like it alot as well. Seeing the Ace 400 flatline in my soil like the LRP did gave me a bit of hope. The LRP does go deeper in my terrible soil...no doubt about it. With the extra features included and fine tuning capabilities...it's a home run.
Great video and info my friend . Thanks again 👍👍
My pleasure Kim! Thanks for watching!
TheHunterGT Cool deal I sub to you and I hoped our can do the same for me . Thanks again my friend.👍👍
thats wright
What's the difference between the 300i and the 400i aces as getting the 300i myself
The 300i does not have iron audio and runs at 8khz instead of 10khz like the 400i. Also comes with the 7”x10” concentric coil...while the 400i has the 8.5”x11” DD.
Other then that they are identical. IMO the 300i is the better buy for the $$ and how/what I hunt.
Is the bounty Hunter discovery 3300 a good beginner detector thanks
Depending on price, yes. You will probably want to upgrade in 6 months to a year...but it will find the goods for sure.
I really enjoy your videos. I think you are one of the best when it comes to reviewing metal detectors. This particular review was of interest as I have the Ace 400, but have been thinking of getting an LRP or Whites Treasure Pro. Thanks for another great informational video!
Thanks smokey I really appreciate that man. Funny you mention that as it was down to those two for me as well at one point. Really like the look of the TreasurePro...great design to it.
Was just wondering what was it that swayed you to LRP over the Whites Treasure Pro? I really like the single notch discrimination and being able to widen it. Truly customizable in my opinion of any lower to mid priced detector.
IDK...had a couple buddies from TNET forums who owned them and had great finds. Started with Bounty Hunter machines and they always treated me well...so decided to stick with what I knew and what my mentors knew.
get the lrp, Smokey man!
sad hvacman That's what I'm leaning towards sad hvacman... after talking to a few people who have had the Whites Treasure Pro, it has kinda changed my mind.
I live right on the ocean. metal detectors in the past have always acted erratic or false signals. I like the ACE 400 and the ACE350. Just wondering how other people worked in going from dry to wet salt water sand. otherwise black sand?
Sorry for late response...slipped through the cracks. Not sure about beach detecting as I live in Colorado and have not detected a salt beach. I do know single frequency VLF detectors do NOT handle salt water very well at all and will false and chatter quite a it. Turning down the sensitivity way low is one way to cope with it. IMO...the ACE 400 is not a good detector to buy if you plan on salt water or black sand hunting.
Yeah, I live right on the ocean. Thank you
+thehuntergt Thx man, my only real concern is the ground balance feature and if having it on the beach will make that much difference. and the lack of incremental settings changes that can be made on the lrp that cannot be made on the Garrett. I'm planning on probably doing 95% or more of my hunting on the sand specifically on California beaches. ?thus far I have not seen any videos of California beach hunting with the ace 400 that have shown a negative sand effect? and did I mention how much I really truly hate the buttons on the lrp lol.. man this is a tough decision LOL
I would really like to know if you think the BHLRP is still a good detector in its price range or if you are aware of something better that has taken its place. Thanks for do a great video showing the difference between these.
R Lindsey For the $256 it is on Amazon right now....it is still the best detector in this price range in my opinion.
Thank you for the reply. Sorry I did not respond sooner but I must have missed the alert. Thanks again for this review.
Fisher F44 with ultimate 13" coil or teknetics patriot with 11" dd? Help
Patriot is quite a bit more powerful than the F44. It is deeper - faster - better separation.
@@thehuntergt I ask because f44 is also deep and here is the proof,
czcams.com/video/T3Oz-Asa1NM/video.html
and I can't find something like that for a patriot on youtube
If you could chose the best beach detector under 300 USD, what would it be? (Freshwater)
Any detector will do for fresh water beaches. Since there is nothing fully waterproof for that price I would say the Teknetics Liberator is probably the best price to performance ratio while it is on sale. It is the exact same detector as the Land Ranger Pro in this video...with a different name and faceplate. As of right now it can be had for $219 on the www.tekneticsdirect.com website with my code...A1474. Limited time offer that will probably be ending soon.
Vanquish
I have the Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro and this weekend I'll be picking up a Garrett Ace 250. I'm going to do a comparison video since they are roughly the same price for entry-level machines. I started with a bounty hunter 1100, then I got a tracker IV and now I have to Lone Star Pro. I like Bounty Hunter but everyone's telling me to go Garrett. I'm going to give it a try and we will see. Love your videos by the way love your videos by the way! Keep them coming!
I figure the LSP will hang with the Ace 250. I was not greatly impressed with the AT Pro or Max...or Ace 400. Some guys click really well with them...I did not. Best of luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
TheHunterGT if you ever find yourself in Arizona, I'd be honored to go hunting with you! I know some old 1800s homesteads that are just Rubble now!
Brandon Havens I might have ti6 take you up on that once fall and winter rolls around. Been meaning a trip down there.
Have you tried a whites mx7 or mx sport by any chance? I'm torn between a teknetics Patriot or land ranger pro, whites mx7, nokta impact, or an equinox 600. Ahhh so many good metal detectors don't know which one to choose lol. My first metal detector was a bounty Hunter Quicksilver which I got for 200$ and I still have it but the off button broke. I now have a whites coinmaster which is built better than the Quicksilver but I don't like it as much because it's not that sensitive. Appreciate all the tests and reviews you do. I want an upgrade and a metal detector that should work ok in gold country. Thanks for everything you do.
I have not tried the Whites machines sorry. I have a friend or two with one and they have already moved on to other detectors. Out of those detectors you mentioned I feel the Impact is the deepest for sure. Probably one of the fastest on recovery speed and separation in iron as well. If you would like to talk pricing give me an email at thehuntergt@gmail.com
@@thehuntergt thanks for the info. It looks like I am gonna buy the nokta impact.
volume control is very useful when you're in a neighborhood full of dogs. and out here we have people with dogs that bark even if you whisper half the time
my wife bought me the LRP and I love I t. I did want a At Pro but it was a little t o pricey thanks for the comparison as I was afraid the LRP might not be very good
Don;t be afraid as the LRP is very good. As far as I am concerned it is still one of the best deals in all of detecting for price vs performance ratio. I have another coming soon as I 100% regret selling mine. Even with a T2 and a F19 sitting in the house. Thanks for watching!
Please do more detector vs detector videos, they are the best
Detecting is Therapy Should have more on the way this year!
TheHunterGT I'm not that Inpressed with my AT Gold I went to the beach and it was almost unusable in wet sand.Why they call it an all terrain? pfff. The LRP has all the options I want exept backlight or do they have some with backlight now?
Also did they fix the pp and menu buttons on the newer models?
Detecting is Therapy No backlight on it. I know they did switch the membrane switches they used. I habennot had any issues with PP so far.
Detecting is Therapy They don't...that is from a pre-release photo. They were going to add it but decided not to. Also... the Teknetics Liberator is only $219 right now at www.tekneticsdirect.com. Same exact machine as LRP. Just use my code A1474 for the discount.
TheHunterGT Liberator says 2 search modes , LRP says 7 modes of operation ?
The Ace was not good on separation compared to the Fisher IMHO
garrett 300, or the AT Pro, which one should I buy????????? is the AT Pro really worth the extra money?
If you do not water hunt...neither. Get a Teknetics Patriot for $399 which is much better than an AT Pro for dry land condition (in my opinion). Check my Patriot vs At Pro video out...it may interest you. However, if you are dead set on Garrett (or waterproofing) might as well get the AT Pro...it is better than the Ace 300 by a fair margin.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My pleasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheHunterGT. wowsa!! great job with the video, will pull the trigger on buying one....I think they are out of stock....maybe i should all them tomorrow etc. either way...many thanks....had no idea there was that big a difference!!!
ok, now that you have helped me out already, I request your wisdom yet again!!! This guy on craigslist claims he has a "new in box" teknetics T2 (not sure if its the classic or SE) for sale, $200. Is the patriot an upgraded T2? 200 sounds too good to be true but I will have to test it etc etc. otherwise I will go ahead and buy the patriot from the inernet etc. Thanks!!!
So many great videos on my fav LRP. Hunter can you suggest a seccond coil for LRP.Not a sniper coil just seeking a seccond coil for.old faithful :-) :-) :-)
Carpenter RickM The 8 inch push in coil from a Eurotek (non-Pro) will work perfect.
TheHunterGT Thanks I appreciate all your videos and respect the knowledge you share! !
Cheers from Kitchener Ontario Canada! :-) :-)
Carpenter RickM My pleasure man. Thanks for the support!
There is volume modification that can be done to the Garrett 250 look for fieldsport 1 on CZcams
I have heard about it - but would prefer it came out of the factory with a volume control. The fact most detectors don't have the capability out of the box is beyond ridiculous. Thanks for commenting Gordon. HH
I prefer having the garrets automatic ground balance rather than the lrp manual balance. I think you also didnt set up the Garret right thats why you couldnt get those coins. Someone else on another video shows you how to set up the Garret. Also for finding gold nuggets isnt the Garret better.
It ok to think whatever you want....but the Garrett was setup perfect. It is not a tough machine to learn and is well under my capabilities to understand. It does not have auto ground balancing....it is fixed at 82. Meaning there is none at all. Neither machine is used for nugget hunting. Especially not the Garret with no GB or all metal mode.
I am sorry. I prefer my Garrett 400. You're review is funny.
good video thanks i wish that all the company,s lisent to the costomers That the most complans are:Not to havy Coil or weigtColor NOT yelloThe wijdt of the arm rest ( the size of garret its ok!, All the Fishers are to wijde!Pretty Tone ( same like xp or golden maskAdjustebel armrest , And Volumecontrol on the tones! Im sure that when the do that,the sales for everybody go up to 40% Good luck!
It is apparent that you favor the Land Ranger...your dialogue seems a bit bias to me. Example: when detecting the Nickle the Land ranger was just as much all over the map yet you tried and tried again to make it seem better than the Garrett. just sayin
It should be apparent as it is the better detector than the Ace 400 by a fair margin. If the Ace 400 was better I would have gushed over it and shown my bias there.
Both are mediocre at best on nickels with the edge going slightly to the LRP in my opinion. Perhaps it is not shown in the video properly...but anybody with enough hours on both would come to the same conclusion.
For the record I am also biased to the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT over the Fisher/Bounty Hunter pointer...which is borderline terrible. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for explanation -
The HunterGT..... I recently saw another video (by you or someone else) about the Ranger pro having trouble reading a nickle (depending on your angle of sweep!) at 4 inches. Any more input you can give me?
Not really. It absolutely struggles with nickels..even in soft soils. Many detectors do in this price range. Gold range is great on rings and other round objects....but nickels are a struggle for it.
Just keep in mind that if it bounces lower than 35 (34/33)...nickel. Higher than 35 (36/37/38)...pulltab. So while the machine may struggle...the user can easily tell the difference most of the time.
Random question. Have you used the Whites MX Sport yet? And Your thoughts on it.....? I was thinking of getting one!.... Thanks HGT. You are the man.
Hi,
You are going Excellent
I want a favor from you
Which metal detector is best for Gold detector almost 1.5 to 2 depth range ?
I'm waiting for your reply
Do you mean feet? It would need to be a gold bar or large cache to punch feet down. Most detectors only go 10 inches or so on a coin sized object.
What is v brake?
Tone break
great video. can't wait to c more with the LRP.
Thank you so much Richard. Tons of Land Ranger Pro hunts coming up. Some gold prospecting videos with the Gold Bug as well. Going to be a great MDing season
as far as the LRP goes I just hunted the Worlds longest freshwater beach. And it was locking on to old Canadian silver dry sand 10 and wet 13.. it's my go to machine...
+Richard Mohns Wet sand that is NOT salt but is fresh water should give an extra bit of depth. Those Canadian silvers must be large to go that deep. Congrats on the LRP...a great detector. Thank you for watching!
were you able to use the LRP in the water? if so how deep safely? thx
Charles Hicks Only the coil and shaft are submersible up to the control box. I have placed the coil underwater for a hunt and it worked perfect.
TheHunterGT Cool thx much.. I am in between the lrp and the ace 400. Looking at mostly Beach/sand & use and water use in California. Your video, great by the way, leans more towards the lrp. But there are so many more reviews leaning towards the ace 400. The ratio is staggering on the side of the ace. Not to mention I can find dozens of Garrett ace 400 videos on the sand or at the beach but I can't seem to find hardly any of the lrp other than those on land, dirt, grass?
The Ace outsells the LRP for sure and is a popular choice because it is a Garrett and they make the AT Pro.
Bounty Hunter seems to have a unfair reputation for being intro or starter units. That is not the case for the Land Ranger Pro. It is based off the same Frats Bros 7.69khz technology as the Teknetics Omega/Gamma and the Fisher F5 and F44. All proven to be leaps beyond the Ace 400.
I'm from California...lived there 24 years before moving to Colorado. It you want to beach hunt and also go to grassy parks and relics sites and the ever changing California conditions...you want the LRP.
The LRP can manually ground balance to 0 (salt) and the Ace is pre-set at 82 and never changes from that 82. Night and day difference.
Are they "both" waterproof?
They are "neither" waterproof. :)
Great video. I would like your opinion, if youth doing mind. I have a 9 year old and 7 year old daughter who I would like to buy a metal detector for. I was considering one of the ace models probably 300 or higher I've also thought about the lrp. I haven't Garrett ATI but that is to heavy for the seven-year-old to swing she has tried need something lighter but still has the bells and whistles not wanting to kiddish like a toy and would like to keep it under 300 any suggestions or thoughts. Thank you.
ace 400 does real good in this cincinnati soil.your soil must really be horrible.well any way thanks for your honest review keep them coming.
+Steve Klein My area of Colorado has some of the worst soil I have ever seen for metal detector usage. Plenty of experienced users on the TreasureNet forums have commented on how terrible it is. A true test for any detector.
+TheHunterGT
hey bro...I watch all your detector review in the market for a new detector I have the bh sharp shooter 2 also purchased to 10in magnum coil can't really tell the difference from the stock coil,now I had my eye on 3 the ace 400,the land Ranger pro and the at pro.i watch the review with the ace 400 vs land ranger pro and the bounty hunter out did the ace 400 and I saw a comment about the at pro vs the bounty land ranger pro and you made a comment about the 2 being neck and neck in your opinion besides the at pro being water proof which in your opinion is the better detector? Anyone else feel free to comment on the 2 detectors.
Pinche Pendejo. Yeah you in cincinnati
Pinche Pendejo I got family that are iron horsmen there club house is on the east side California ohio close to coney island. are you down that way
Pinche Pendejo bra i dont know those people I don't ride with them got a uncle that rode with them and one that that still does I'm not in there business.
you asked about the east side I was just giving the general area that I'm familiar with. that biker shit gay any way. but 👍 luck and ☺ hunting.
LRP has very similar sounds with FISHER F5.
Made by the same company.
TheHunterGT could be but i doubt it,
First Texas Products owns Fisher...Teknetics...Bounty Hunter. I am sponsored by them. :) They are both 7.7khz detectors using the same technology.
TheHunterGT oooo , i didn't know that, i wander which is the best between this machine's,.
The F5 would be the better of the two...but only slightly. Land Ranger Pro is very good for the price. They are no longer making the F5....it will be discontinued soon from what I hear.
Thanks for what you do.
Thanks for watching!
Just bought the F22. Your thoughts?
Good detector for the price...especially if you utilize the weatherproofing and hunt in the rain. Can rinse it off with a water hose which is great. Good depth to 6-7 inch range...where 90% of all objects are.
You're the man. Thanks! Allot better than that chinese one I first bought. The vomit yellow one.
Yeah that yellow Chinese one is pretty bad. The fact Amazon recommends that as one of their choices is terrible.
I would love to own a machine after all the videos I have seen.
Great video. Thanks
My pleasure...thank you!
really like your info!! I am thinking of Land ranger for detecting in Hawaii, your thoughts?
Howie
Hello Howie! The Land Ranger Pro is $248 on Amazon as I type this. A better deal would be the Teknetics Liberator. It is the EXACT same machine with a patriotic face plate and patriotic name. They are selling for $219 when you use my code A1474 at www.tekneticsdirect.com
TheHunterGT so for volcanic soil like Hawaii you think it would be good?
I cannot say to be honest. I know it works just fine on beaches here in California. My mother found a gold ring her 3rd dig ever and plenty of coins as well.
TheHunterGT I just ordered the liberator. Thank you for your help and $142 discount code!
Howie
My pleasure! Thanks for your order and support!
gonna be getting into this hobby for thefirst time and gonna get the bh gold digger then once I find enough coins with that pass that to my son who has a fetish for bottle caps lol and upgrade with the bh LRP
Well there are plenty of those for him in this hobby. Hell...let him go in front of you and clean them up lol. The LRP is one of the best price to performance detectors in all of detecting. You will have loads of fun with it.
Garrett made in the good ol' USA
As is the LRP.
I have a garrett ace 400 and i love mine never had an issue with it i can swing it all day long had a bounty hunter and it sucks
Did you have the Bounty Hunter in this video? Didn't think so. I had fun with the Ace 400. Almost kept another when it came through on a trade. However, when I already have superior machines as my 3rd and 4th backup...no point.
Not a big fan of the bounty Hunter detectors i have all garrett from the ace 350 400 atpro atmax atgold
The LRP is $100 less than the Ace 400 as I type this....it is also deeper...has more tone options...has modulated audio...volume control on the unit...all-metal mode......Vbreak....notching width (not category notch). Yeah...it sucks.
We can talk about the AT Pro and AT Max in the other videos I put up.....I'm sure you will be a big fan of those.
I’ve owned both and much prefer the Garrett.
As long as you enjoy it...all that matters.
I have both these detectors . and the ace owns the bounty hunter in every aspect
We can agree to disagree. Thanks for watching.
Is it true that Ace 400 is a bit bottom/coil heavy when holding it?
nw prospecting and outdoors I like how this guy details out his preference in a 25 minute video, and you barf out a generic unsupported opinion in a comment. Good job jackass.
I have used both detectors back and forth for the last 6 months and I'd have to say that the ace 400 is more accurate. I can find coins at spots with the ace where I've gone over with the lrp. The ace is definitely better at targeting.
great comparison video, most vids just show a few differences and then go on a hunt. I like the comparisons because I am looking to upgrade at least into this grade of detector and this helped a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Ken! Glad the video helped. The LRP is the best dollar to performance ratio in all of metal detecting IMO
its got to be the garret it has better internals and crystals etc and is made a gd company thats been going for years
Better internals and crystals? This is not 1940's radio equipment Gary. Both are capable machines. The LRP is just more capable.
Garrett 400i or fisher f44 ? Thx
Lux X xuZ F44 is my pick. Has all-metal and volume adjust for each category. Also has a proper iron audio.
@@thehuntergt which Fisher F4…or 44 with DD,coil ??
@@earlduff3593 F44 is the replacement for F4....better in every way.
Fisher 44 with DD.or. White Treasure Pro
Please send official suppliers address
Now your just bashing on the ace 400
If you watched the Ace 400 review I did...I quite enjoyed it and rated it well. I even give it an 8.5 of 10 towards the end of this video. Hardly bashing...
Jeez your quick that’s good
great video,fair outlook on both m.d.s, the LRP does what it says on the tin! unlike other pretenders.HH
The LRP does what it says....it is the best detector on the market under $300....easily.
Land Ranger Pro is a no doubt better detector, read this first www.comparedetectors.com/tier-1---low-cost.html
A detector without a ground balance is a handicapped machine offering you much less versatility, depth and stability. Get Land Ranger and don't even consider Aces.
Too much nit picking and favoritism for the testing.
We are all waiting for your non-biased humble opinion of a video.
like!good luck!
Garrett doesn't look good..
