Platinum

[RL OH]

I have used my Bounty Hunter Platinum for several weeks now and every time I use it I am more impressed. I have used it at several places where I have not found any older coins in a couple of years. By saying older, I mean wheats or newer silver. I have found 18 wheat pennies and a couple of days ago, I found a no date Buffalo nickel. I abslolutely love the light weight and responsive recovery speed. I have only used the stock 8 inch coil and some of the coins have been in the 7 inch deep range which is as deep as they seem to be. The detector is very accurate and it has the ability to distinguish between zincs and copper pennies. I have about 16 hours on the detector and the battery is still showing a full charge. As Woof said, the Platinum is one of the only detectors in the 300 dollar price range with a ground balance feature. I have very mineralized ground and this detector, even with the 8 inch concentric coil handles the bad ground very nicely. I still have my high end detector, but is sure nice to grab something so light. This detector is quite a bargain!

Yeah the platinum is probably the best detector in its price range. I loved mine, than I upgraded but sometimes I miss the lightweight.

The more I use it the more I love it. I'm new at this but have been detecting nonstop for about 4 months and the more experienced I get, the more I am impressed with it. Used to watch youtube videos and long for a T2 or F75 and while I'll eventually upgrade to have a choice of machines, there is no real need to-I can do everything I want with it. I even got it soaked in a creek, and was able to take the box apart, blow it dry with a fan, and have had no trouble whatsoever.My only question is whether I should get a DD coil for it or not.
