Just my opinion but for the same money you can get a top of the line Garrett or Fishers, or a Whites. You get what you pay for.
SOmetimes you get MORE than what you paid for. As much as I like Whites, I bought the ACE250 and very happy with it. I would really look at the reviews out there about BH products before you make up your mind.
Bounty Hunter MDs find some good stuff. Lots of happy people out there who own them. But there are some unhappy campers as well. Thats true of WHATEVER md you by. Still,
if I knew then what I know now, I would NEVER have bought the BH just because of quality issues.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.Not easy is it.
Good Luck
