Heck this should be right up your alley....
I took my Ace to the local top shop and had a rain bonnet made for my powerhead.
If your bounty hunter has control knobs it may not work but if all your controls are push buttons then a sunbrella or Top Gun cover with clear window piece sewn in is a great addition to your unit.

Welcome I am new to forum myself but I will tell you this is one hobby that is very very addictive . I find myself all the time riding down the road looking for new places to hunt and researching the area. It's a great hobby and for me it was one that was kind of started as a joke between my parents and me. Good luck and hope you find a lot of great stuff!

Hi my name is KAK and I'm a metal detectorist.
Welcome to metal detecting. I started about 9 years back and my first detector was a Bounty Hunter Landstar. I dug hundreds of coins in parks but foolishly disced out pulltabs because there were so many. I wondered why I got only the small coins. Later I found the forums and learned I was missing all the good stuff (insert Homer Simpson Doh smiley here). So my advice is use as little discrimination as possible and dig everything you can.
Good luck,
kak

Hi gunther; Welcome. The problem with this addiction is there is no cure except to go and dig some more and the more you find the worse yor addiction gets. I got hooked 39 years ago and I'm gladly lost to its attractive lure hahaha. Good Luck and Good Hunting. Don't forget to Post the pictures ok. PEACE:RONB

PS : You may want to join a Club as well. Then you;ll really be lost for the better.!!!!!

You might consider a pinpointer in a bit. It'll make the recovery end of things easier...
