Teknetics and Bounty Hunter the same company

[Tim-MXT]

I was browsing Craig's list today and noticed these two detectors. One is a Teknetics 6000, the other is a Bounty Hunter Platinum. The buttons are the same, the display is the same. I did some digging and found that Bounty Hunter, Teknetics and Fisher are all owned by the same company. Interesting. Do you get a higher quality machine with the Fisher or Teknetics name or are all three the same?

I own a Platinum and from what I hear there's little difference between it and the 6000...other than price.

Fisher, Teknetics & BH...Yep all First Texas Products. BH is considered the lower end of the three. First Texas makes some GREAT machines in their Fisher & Tek lines!
