BOUNTY HUNTER PLATINUM, NO MARKINGS.

I WAS THINKING OF GETTING THE BH PLATINUM, IT COMPAERS TO THE TEC: 6000 SERIES IN LOOKS BUT THATS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. MY QUISTION IS THERE IS NO MARKINGS ANY WHERE ON THE PLATINUM TO TELL WHAT MAKE IT IS. I KNOW ITS MADE BY BOUNTY HUNTER THATS IT, KIND OF LIKE SELLING A TRUCK WITH NO MAKE OR MODLE. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD DEAL AT $299.00 FOR A SECOND DETECTOR OR EVEN A FIRST.IF ANY ONE HAS ONE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY BRAND MARKINGS ON IT. THANKS
 
I had one, it didn't do that much for me but then again I don't care for a detector with a display. It is made by First Texas as far as I know. You can buy a Fisher F2 with the 11"DD coil at the same price, a better detector in my opinion.
 
Had a Bounty Hunter RB-7 back in the '80s. That was one coin and jewelry finding machine. It allowed me to stay up with those in the club who owned Whites. Sure do miss it. Wonder if I could still whip it frantically, like you had to back then.
 
HAS ANY ONE USED THE TEKNETICS G2, AND IS IT ANY GOOD. CAN YOU TAKE IT AT THE BEACH AND DOES IT GROUND BALANCE EASY. THE REASON I'AM ASKING IS MY FOLKS LIVE IN MARYLAND ON THE SHORE AND THERE IS SOME BLACK SAND, ALTHO THE BAY IS NOT REALLY SALTY, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE BEACH COMBING A TRY. THATS WHY I WAS THINKING OF BUYING THE BH PLATINUM BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE SAID IT DOES NOT MIND BRAKISH BAY OR LAKE WATER I KNOW IT WILL NOT GROUND BALANCE NEAR SALT. THATS WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT BOTH OF THEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS

I have never used a G@ but wanted you to know that you are typing with your caps lock on and some people consider it shouting. Doesn't bother me but some people it might.
 
I have a BH Platinum and really like it. But, I have no basis for comparison. Because it is the only one that I have used in 30 years. I am curious if other detectors show bottle caps as quarters. This one does constantly. If it comes up as a quarter 90% of the time, it will be a bottle cap. Regardless, I got this one for Christmas and it is the only one that I am going to have, So, for me , it is what it is.
 
Do you have the detector on all metal mode, and if so you will pull a lot of unwanted stuff out of the ground. If you have it on celect mode you will do a hole lot better and the unit will be more celelective in ideing the coin and not a bottle cap. hope this helped. P.S. When on celect mode make shure you are ground balanced correctly because the BH Platinum is very diffierent in this aspect.
 
lots of chinese made :bounty:out there!!they are all over on feebay .when you buy they have no logos ,markings and the box you get it in is a plain jane.
