I total disagree with # 18, I smell bad enough without being spray by skunks. Good luck to him.
The disc. on it, even with no screen, is better than the BH.
The resale value is better. The warranty is better than anything that isn't Tesoro. ALL for the same price as what you paid.
So I'll ask you one more time. Why isn't a Compadre in your arsenal?
Nobody I know really uses notch as a viable feature. Look at how many detectors do not have notch as a feature. To each his own and detector manufacturers, I believe, reflect those trends.
Hi all.
I decided to try my luck at metal detecting last month. The idea of getting outdoors and maybe finding a buffalo nickle or old penny now and then appeals to me.
I saw a sale on the "Bounty Hunter Sharpshooter II" for $150.00 including a pinpointer, headphones, carry case and even a little digger. Reviews seemed pretty good overall for an entry level machine so I decided to buy one. At the store, as I often do, I got overenthused and bought two! (One for my wife.) I've taken it out once to a local park and quickly proved to myself that I don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing! It's not the machine's fault. I'll read my instructions more carefully next time.
Anyway, I still have one MD still in the box and I'm wondering now if I should consider returning it and getting something different like the Garrett Ace 250 for a bit more money. That unit seems to have a lot of good reviews.
I'd appreciate your opinions. Are they both about equal in ability? Is the variety in machines a good idea.
Thanks,
Rich L.
