Bounty hunter land star

[army82]

Some one gave me a bounty hunter land star, Im new to MD and cant figure out how to adjust the settings some times it will beep when you move it over objects and then it want. Should I keep it or buy a new one any suggestions

I don't have one, but it looks like a good detector. I saw it on the Bounty Hunter site. You can see that at http://detecting.com.

I found an operator's manual there: http://detecting.com/pdffiles/Manual-LandStar.pdf

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I have found that with bounty hunter detectors you need to run with the sensitivity pretty low or you get a few false signals. I also had the problem of it beeping when passed over the target and sometimes not. I ordered a new coil from kellyco and it now works like a charm. I apparently ruined my coil wire one day out in the woods. If you have a ton of questions feel free to pm me. I have a different model but my hunting buddy has a land star so I know a bit about it, plus I can always ask him too.

Does it give that one beep on all targets or just an occasional buried unknown target? If it's the latter, it's a sign it's a junk target. Try it on a dime laying on the surface and see if it does it. If it don't beep every time there is probably a problem that needs fixed. I wouldn't just dump the machine, it's a pretty good one and a new one will be a lot more expensive. Your call. Monty
