If you are looking for bounty hunter metal detectors then you are certainly not the only one searching for one of these awesome bits of metal detecting kit and as a range, looking at reviews they are way ahead of their competition on a number of levels so it is easy to see why they are so popular.
Metal detecting as a hobby, is time wise, still in its infancy because it is only in the last 40 years or so that the kit has been available for everybody to be able to buy and use.
Bounty hunter metal detectors were one of the first on the market and so over time they have been tweaked and refined into the superb, very use friendly detectors that you see today.
Looking at the criteria that hobbyists list as being important to them when it comes to choosing a detector to go treasure hunting with it does not seem to matter whether you are a newbie or a bit more of an old hand at it, that remains relevant regardless of experience.
Probably top of the list is the fact that the bit of equipment is light weight not just from you being out searching but, just as importantly because you may have to carry it around before you even get to your search site and there is no point in being exhausted with aching arms before you start.
Also, it makes a huge difference if the design is ergonomic as then (from a comfort point of view) the detector will feel more like an extension of your arm rather than an awkward, clumsy tool that is not comfortable to carry, hold or operate and limits the amount of time that you can search with it. (This is one of the reasons for many brands of detectors being put in the garage and forgotten about).
Another must is ease of use as, more can often mean less when it comes to finding treasure. Nobody wants to spend ages setting up, tuning and refining the detector before you can even get out and start because everything is complicated. Let us be honest you just want to turn it on and go.
When it comes down to the nitty-gritty of finding things it is important that you have some flexibility in your chosen detector and so having the ability to discriminate and notch out is pretty essential.
Bounty hunter metal detectors do seem to be ahead of their rivals and have obviously listened to and taken on board the needs and requirements of all those detector users out there and incorporated them into their equipment so why have a Ford when you can have a Rolls Royce.
