Discovery 3000

[Ohio_Chaney]

Just bought one of these on ebay (Land Star) and so far it has impressed me. I have a White's 5900 Di Pro SL and I have used it in my back yard several times.

When we got the Bounty Hunter this afternoon, my daughter and I started with it in the back yard a little while ago and dug up over $.70 in a half hour. The 2nd or 3rd target was a Kennedy half dollar!

I bought the BH for my 8-year-old daughter but we might end up fighting over it!

I need to read up a little bit on how this notch and auto-notch works. So far the Radio Shack online manual is not very clear. Anybody got any good advice on that?

I was just checking out Bounty Hunter's website and it looks like the Discovery 3000 is somewhere between a Sharp Shooter 2 and a Land Star. I previously had thought it was identical to the Land Star, but it does not have the depth indicator...

hey there. the landstar has a ground balance. i don't think the 3000 does, it has a volume knob instead. the radio shack version of landstar is 3015. you should be able to go to www.detecting.com and see the manuals of sharpshooter and landstar to get an idea of how the notch and auto notch works. happy hunting to you.

Yes, it does have a depth meter and also has GB. I run mine in all metal
and listen to the tones.
