Bounty Hunter LANDSTAR Land Star Metal Detector

- 4-Level Iron Discrimination

- Lcd With Target Id & Depth Indication
- Detects Coin-Size Objects Up To 10″ Deep
The Land Star is a powerful metal detecting system offering tremendous versatility with two distinct systems integrated into one: No-Motion mode and an Auto Notch Discrimination. In the No-Motion mode, metal objects will cause the detector to sound off when the target is under the search coil. With this technology, motion is not required to detect a target. The Auto Notch Discrimination is a fully automatic discrimination mode that allows the operator turn-on-and-hunt discrimination.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

Excellent Buy -worth every penny,
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.

|Fantastic Entry Level Detector,
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.

|Very happy,
My husband and I had been talking about getting a detector on and off for over a year. The more we looked into it, the more confused we were. We didn’t know what features we needed or what to look for. We didn’t want to spend too much but were afraid to go too low and end up with one that didn’t work well. We decided on this one based on other reviews and price.
It came with a video which helped us understand about the model and how they work in general. Just practicing around the yard he found two colonial coins. We’ve only taken it on one camping trip and found a silver dime, some quarters, pennies, and a silver Mexican Peso in New Hampshire about 4 inches deep. My husband is getting the hang of it. The more items you find, the more you understand it. He says that when it says it’s junk, turns out it is junk and it’s been right on with quarters and smaller coins.
We are very happy with the unit and feel we made the right choice. I would have given it one more star but my husband hasn’t found any jewelry yet!
