Last time:.i posted i talked about the Bounty Hunter Sharpshooter 11, also i posted a picture of this detector with a frisbee as a coil cover. Did anyone else on the forum find this was true!

I have now sold on the sharpshooter 2 but staying with the Bounty Hunter i have now bought locally the Tracker IV a machine i consider to be an excellent.

Many years of metal detecting in the early 70's I have a tale or two i would like to tell forum members.

I will post some pictures soon of a detector with a wooden search head ( my very first metal detector) that i paid £3.00 for from a seller in Edinburgh all those years ago]]> sinewave Bounty Hunter ForumSat, 18 May 2013 01:33:59 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1909857,1909857#msg-1909857 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1909857,1909857#msg-1909857 georgethe fish Bounty Hunter ForumTue, 14 May 2013 09:35:06 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1909755,1909755#msg-1909755 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1909755,1909755#msg-1909755 Les1224 Bounty Hunter ForumTue, 14 May 2013 14:48:34 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1908390,1908390#msg-1908390 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1908390,1908390#msg-1908390:wiggle::detecting::super:]]> DESERT DOG Bounty Hunter ForumSat, 18 May 2013 02:19:49 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1907357,1907357#msg-1907357 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1907357,1907357#msg-1907357 reddirtfisher Bounty Hunter ForumThu, 09 May 2013 07:47:07 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1905538,1905538#msg-1905538 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1905538,1905538#msg-1905538LATE START IN A PARK I LIKE TO CALL DONE EVERY INCH

I felt confident that I was getting the hang of swinging and understanding what my machine was telling me. I'm second guessing myself on this one, though. I also got a couple of coin signals in the gravel, but didn't find anything. Just kicked the gravel to the side, didn't have time to do a real thorough search.

Certainely have not made an input to this site for quite sometime.( The subject title) can apply to any detectorist from beginner or to self acclaimed expert.

Must point out immediately that the following are my own comments as an individual.

Me!...Ex Tv Repair.The ccts used in most of these detectors are no innovation or magic formula that any manufacturer of metal detectors can claim as their's.

These circuits are all around you in every day life from A.T.M's to that black rectangle by your side right now! (that prevent's you from getting off your fanny)

Winding copper wire on a former will create a magnetic field the principles are left to you now to explore further.

Scenario:..The business end is the so called search coil with different parameters perhaps but basically create a magnetic field... a long in the tooth principle that with the advent of the transistor made posssible what beginners & more experienced on this forum are using now. " If you are looking for the proverbial treasure chest a cheap detector will find it after all like buried or lost items they are never really found where a pick & shovel need to be involved..

To finish... Only meant to post about my recent purchase ( The Tracker IV ) which is ready made.

NB:..but will continue with pictures of my present magnetic machines.




Enough you say!... surely it is fair to speak my thoughts]]> sinewave Bounty Hunter ForumFri, 19 Apr 2013 23:05:13 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1889085,1889085#msg-1889085 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1889085,1889085#msg-1889085 zero Bounty Hunter ForumThu, 11 Apr 2013 16:38:43 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1887699,1887699#msg-1887699 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1887699,1887699#msg-1887699 slingshot Bounty Hunter ForumSun, 07 Apr 2013 17:42:18 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886936,1886936#msg-1886936 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886936,1886936#msg-1886936 zero Bounty Hunter ForumMon, 22 Apr 2013 13:24:53 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886899,1886899#msg-1886899 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886899,1886899#msg-1886899 scubapirate Bounty Hunter ForumSat, 11 May 2013 00:35:01 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886219,1886219#msg-1886219 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1886219,1886219#msg-1886219With a bunch of junk.this is a great detector for a wal-mart special.]]> digger1967 Bounty Hunter ForumMon, 01 Apr 2013 20:57:45 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1885774,1885774#msg-1885774 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1885774,1885774#msg-1885774 zero Bounty Hunter ForumMon, 01 Apr 2013 23:31:42 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1885122,1885122#msg-1885122 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1885122,1885122#msg-1885122clear, white and green wires go?

I sold that on Ebay after only using it a few times. And never really stopped wanting to dig again.
I just purchased a Bounty hunter platinum, maybe because my old bounty hunter brings back fond memories of finding lots of old coins when I was in my mid twenties. Thank god for modern technology my platinum is weightless by comparison to the Red Baron I swung back then.
I haven't been out much yet with my new machine, just messing around with it in my back yard to get used to it. The few hours in my back yard did not yield much, lots of my old flattened beer cans that somehow managed to get buried. And a few newer cents.
I live on a very old farm, roughly 40 acres, so there is a lot of places to learn my new machine. I also have a condo on the beach,which I plan to hit as well. I am not sure how the Platinum will behave on the beach. My old machine did ok in dry sand.
if and when I find anything worth mentioning I will be sure to post. Good luck fellow diggers. Jay]]> jettyjay Bounty Hunter ForumThu, 25 Apr 2013 15:04:03 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1875863,1875863#msg-1875863 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?60,1875863,1875863#msg-1875863
