Summary: Fantastic Entry Level Detector
Comment: I've owned the Bounty Hunter Land Star for about 2 years now and it is a great, economically priced detector. Shop around because you can get it for less then one hundred dollars if you know where to look... cough... ebay... cough... ebay.

I've found tons of silver coins with this detector. It's target processor is extremely reliable for coins. If you get a solid repeatable coin tone then you've got a 95% chance of digging up a coin. I've also found Civil War buttons, old toys, and multiple rings at the beach. Yesterday I found 2 Mercury Head dimes (1918 and 1941) in a local park. Believe me when I tell you that treasure is in the ground everywhere.

Contrary to another review that you may see below, the All-Metal mode works exactly as it should. Not only does it work as it should, but it is the most useful and descriptive mode on this machine. Mr. David Carlson obviously doesn't know how to operate his metal detector. The symptoms that he describes are the result of someone not reading the manual. He doesn't understand the relationship between All-Metal mode and Ground Balance. It just takes a moment to read and understand.

Bottom line: Great metal detector to get you into the hobby cheaply so that you can begin finding some great stuff. Like I said, I've been using mine for 2 years and I don't feel the need to upgrade.

Summary: Bounty Hunter Land Star Metal Detector "All Metal Mode."
Comment: This metal detector is nice, notwithstanding, it performs poorly when in all metal mode. Initially all metal mode works fine, however, after half an hour of use the batteries begin to wear out and the battery low indicator does not come on. When all metal mode is used after half an hour of the detector's use, it just squeals uncontrollably. It's supposed to go off over metal and pin point the source of your initial find with great accuracy. Again, after thirty minutes of use of the detector, it will no longer go off over the source, it will just go off constantly, no mater where you hold it. I could hold it into the air and it still squeals. I made every adjustment I could and it just continues to make noise. This mode is worthless unless your using it with two fresh 9 volt batteries every half an hour. Finally, if you're hunting say meteorites for four hours, you can expect to spend over $56.00 on batteries for that afternoon.

Summary: Excellent Buy -worth every penny
Comment: I bought this for my husband for Christmas and I thought it would be a big waste. To date my husband has found several pieces of jewelry, a ton of coins and a silver dollar coin that dated 1860 (that we sold for $220). Its easy to use and we now fight to see who will use it next. A great addition to our family.

Editorial Reviews:

Bounty Hunter's Land Star detector offers the excitement and profit of metal detecting, with extensive features for experienced treasure hunters. The fully submersible, 8-inch Bounty D-Tech search coil features an interchangeable coil and Ground Trac, which automatically balances the machine to the soil conditions. The Land Star boasts a large, multifunction LCD readout with touchpad control that displays the probable type and depth of metal being detected. We found the touchpad to be remarkably intuitive, even for someone who's never used a metal detector before.

The detector features four modes of operation (all metal, disc, notch, and auto notch) and two systems for metal detection, No-Motion mode and Auto Notch Discrimination. In No-Motion mode, the detector sounds when the target is under the search coil. Auto Notch Discrimination mode allows you turn-on-and-hunt discrimination. The Land Star has a built-in speaker and headphone jack and runs off of two 9-volt alkaline batteries. Users will also enjoy Bounty Hunter's comprehensive, easy-to-understand online tutorial and downloadable manual at www.detecting.com. Five-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
