Hey y'all, I had Bounty Hunter Quick Draw 2 several years ago and I loved it. I let family borrow it and we all know how that ends up. I am hoping one of y'all might have a cheap rig collecting dust in a closet somewhere that I would be able to buy for fairly cheap. I know it's a stretch but $50 is all I would be able to afford at the moment. I've been researching some old homesteads that I have known about for years and have access to dig but I don't want to worry about wasting my money on one of the set-ups from Amazon that's in my price range. Springs here and I got the itch, and no, not just from the poison ivy! If you have a broken rig that you might be willing to donate if I pay shipping, that would be awesome too, I'm pretty handy when it comes to fixing basically anything. Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing what you might have available!

If you have Hobby Lobby in your area, a $40 off cupon should get you out the door with a bounty hunter detector for under $100

No, go with the Tesoro Compadre as recommended by Terry. That detector is a ramp up to your future understanding of just what the heck you're doing. Tesoro does rock, period. Go there and don't look back.
