Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX Metal Detector 4.3 5 56 69
Nice detector This metal detector is nice,but I wish I would have noticed it,or checked into it further,before I ordered it. It doesn't have a phone jack,so headphones can be plugged into it. The other thing about it that I don't like is the tones are kind of loud and there's no volume control for it. I have taped up the the speakers to tone down the sound,but the higher pitch noise still is sort of loud. I have found some coins and a fork in my yard,plus a lot of other junk. I like the fact you can set discrimination to not pick up on iron or iron based metals,which most junk metal is. 10/14/2009
A Solid Value I think this is a solid value, especialy for an entry-level device. I live in thecity and have only spent about an hour in my yard so far. Every time the Pioneer detected Iron, it was made of iron. I have found 3 copper pennies so far, one from 1944. No treasure, but I have only been in my yard learning the ins and outs of the device.PROs: Lightweight, easy to use, great price, and does exactly what it is designed to do, right out of the box.CONs: No headphone jack, takes a while to learn to pinpoint detected object. 01/22/2008
Fun to play with This detector works very well. My family and I have had a good time using it to search for "buried treasure". If someone is looking for a basic metal detector, without all the bells and whistles, this is a good product. It is simple to use and very accurate, considering that it is the less expensive model. I recommend it highly to anyone looking to just enjoy themselves "treasure hunting". 08/26/2008
