The video below should be beneficial to all Metal Detector Reviews readers who enjoy coin collecting and coin sorting. You will learn how to quickly and efficiently sort through copper and zinc cents coins.
It starts off by explaining how to setup your bounty hunter metal detectors tone so that you can then easily sort through you coins based on the tones you hear.
Firstly check that you have charged batteries in your metal detector, set the mode switch all the way to the right, then set the discrimination all the way up, place the metal detector on a table that does not contain any metal, make sure the unit is switched on, then run your coins across the detection coil.
Copper coins will give a high tone and zinc coins a low tone, the tones are very different and can be easily heard. This can be a fun exercise for our younger metal detector enthusiasts.
After some practice you will find you can sort through your coins at lighting speeds. Most Bounty Hunter detectors have dual tone capabilities as you some other units, but if you are unsure whether your unit has this feature please read through its instruction manual. Metal Detector Reviews hopes you enjoy the video.
The Bounty Hunter HEAD-W Metal Detector Headphones are a must have accessory and we at Metal Detector Reviews never leave home without our pair.
Some users often forget about headphones but they are as important as bring a spade along to your hunt, without them I’m sure manly treasures would remain undetected.
These full-stereo headphones are lightweight and designed to be compatible with Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors (excluding Bounty Hunter Junior), they will also work with most other brand metal detectors. The cable is a long 51″ that ends with a 1/3″ mini plug, an adapter can be added making the connection 1/4″, Metal Detector Reviews recommends using them headphones without the adapter whenever possible.
Here are some of the great features of the Bounty Hunter HEAD-W:
Compatible with Bounty Hunter Metal Detectors excluding Bounty Hunter Junior
Utilizes a 1/8-inch stereo plus
8′ cable with volume control for easy access and mobility
Extends for metal detector’s battery life
Super comfortable fit with the soft leather earpiece pads
Bounty Hunter HEAD-W headphones will pickup faint signals that at times go undetected by the standard speakers. The volume control is easily accessible so you can make adjustments on the fly based on surrounding noises.
Metal Detector Reviews took the Bounty Hunter HEAD-W headphones to the local park were a game of football was being played. Without them there was no way we would have heard the detection signals over the sounds of the yelling crowd and cars coming and going.
Please note the Bounty Hunter HEAD-W headphones are for use with a Metal Detector only.

When researching metal detectors before buying a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV for a Christmas gift, I learned that using earphones with the detector not only makes hearing the “beeps” much easier, but also extends the battery life of the battery in the detector. We live in a windy, windy canyon area, so I knew the earphones were a necessity because of the constant wind noise. My husband says that the earphones effectively screen out noise that would overpower the emissions from the detector if he weren’t wearing the headset. He’s a happy camper with his Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and the Bounty Hunter stereo earphones. (Carolyn Mathews “Displaced Texan”)
Wow Metal Detector Reviews was impressed with the Bounty Hunter QD2GWP Quick Draw II, it is a great all-round metal detector, feature packed top performer!
The LCD digital display makes target identification easy to see even in low light conditions, combined with a well mapped out controller.
The unit also comes with a Bounty Hunter Pinpointer Metal Detector (a small metal detector used to help locate items in the ground) and carry bag, making it a great all in package.
As metal detector reviews always like to say, it’s important before taking a unit out into the field to make yourself familiar with how the it works. We had a quick play with the LCD while going through the instructional handout, our initial feeling was that it is a quality made unit.
After connecting the headphones we powered up the Bounty Hunter QD2GWP and got started.
Metal Detector Reviews always digs in the same test items to give every unit we run an even playground of shotgun shells, a watch, nails, coins and a gold ring.
The Bounty Hunter QD2GWP pinpointed all the above items in no time at all.
Here are some of the great features of the Bounty Hunter QD2GWP:
Automated to stop false signals
One-touch depth select control adjusts sensitivity to more deeply buried targets
Metal Detector Reviews took the Bounty Hunter QD2GWP to the beach and was very satisfied. It performed great in dry sand and well in wet sand (don’t forget to bring along a good heavy-duty sand scooper), just be sure to adjust the sensitivity most of the way down when working in wet sand or you will receive too many false reading.
After swapping out to a 10-inch coil the Hunter QD2GWP was able to pickup an additional coverage area with every swipe and the depth penetration was noticeably improved.
This is what an owner had to say about the Bounty Hunter QD2GWP:
I did quite a lot of research before buying on all kinds and all prices of metal detectors. I found that for the price, the Quick Draw 2 had the options we wanted. I have been most pleased with this machine… if it tells me there is a coin..there is a coin. It has not been wrong yet. Batteries wear well. I haven’t had to change them in over a month and we use it a lot on the weekends, and some through the week. I would definitely recommend it. We have found numerous coins with it, and it has been great for us! (Michelle)
Metal Detector Reviews was excited to get their hands on the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300. This unit has a number of great features to play with, it is also a very comfortable metal detector to use with its adjustable-height design and padded armrest, it also has a stand which keeps it upright when not in use.
Like we say at the beginning of all metal detector reviews it’s important to make yourself familiar with how the unit works before taking it out into the field. A few minutes with the manual and I was comfortable in the use of most of the features and itching to get started. We head out into the yard, connected our headphones, turned on the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 and started the search.
Metal Detector Reviews runs every new unit through the same series of test items, we found the unit it be extremely accurate, it pin pointed the exact location of the nails, shotgun shells, a watch, coins and a gold ring.
Here are some of the great features of the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300:
Precise metal detector ideal for accurately detecting specific targets at depth
Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 searches deep, it’s able to pickup coin size objects at 8 inches and larger objects up to 3 feet! The coil and stem are waterproof, so it gives you that added option of searching in shallow water, which is often a GREAT place to find TREASURES!
It’s lightweight and easy handling also more it ideal for extended use in the field, the controller is easier to use, having big buttons which means you don’t need to take off your gloves when switching between modes.
We received a very positive user experience from the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300, Metal Detector Reviews believes this to be a solid unit that performed above average in all conditions.
This is what an owner had to say about the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300:
My wife and I were looking for a fun hobby and the Bounty hunter Discovery
3300 looked like it wood fit the bill. The instructions are pretty straightforward,
but we’re still learning something new each time we go afield.
When we get proficient enough, we’ll buy another Bounty Hunter.
A really fun tool. (Mike’s amazon)
A lot of good things have been said about the Garrett Ace 250 and we at Metal Detector Reviews were keen to get some hands on experience with this unit.
It’s known to be the most aggressive, rugged outdoor design in the industry.
Like we say at the beginning of all metal detector reviews it’s important to make yourself familiar with how the unit works before taking it out into the field.
We flicked through the instruction booklet for around 5 minutes then decided it was time to get out into the yard for the test run. After turning the Garrett Ace 250 on and attaching the headphones we were ready to start out first sweep.
Metal Detector Reviews always likes to run a new unit through the same test items and it unit did not let as down, instead is quickly pinpointed the locations of nails, coins, shotgun shells, a watch and a gold ring.
Here are some of the great features of the Garrett Ace 250:
10″ Large Scan Area for Accurate & Quick Scanning
Electronic Pinpoint Feature
Coin Depth Gauge for Quick Target Retrieval
12 Element Notch Discrimination for Greater Accuracy
As we mentioned earlier this unit is extremely rugged, I had no worries when throwing it into the back of the truck and heading out.
This unit proved its worth at the local park where the display showed itself to be very accurate. I spent hours playing with all the features, take your time and thoroughly go through all the sensitivity and elimination adjustments, if you like a unit with features then you will not be sorry for choosing the Garrett Ace 250
To summarize the user experience of this unit, Metal Detector Reviews believes it performs above average in its price range and will satisfy both novice and intermediate customer.
Here’s what one of the owners had to say about the Garrett Ace 250:
I purchased this one year ago as my first and only metal detector. I have used it mostly at parks. I have found lots of coins, some junk and 14k and 18k gold pendants. it is easy to use and I recommend it. (treasuretim)
Before Metal Detector Reviews got there hands on this excellent product, we did some of our own research and came to the conclusion that the Bounty Hunter TK4 was a great metal detector for novice to intermediate users.
As with all metal detectors it’s important to make yourself familiar with how the product works before getting out there. We spent around 15minutes going through the instruction booklet that clearly spelled out the correct use of this unit.
It wasn’t long before we were out in the yard giving the Bounty Hunter TK4 its first test run. Be sure to always use headphones which both prolong battery life and make it much easier to hear the most faint indicator sounds, we recommend the Bounty Hunter HEAD-W.
As with all test runs here at Metal Detector Reviews we dig in a series of test items to measure the success of (or in some cases lack of) the metal detector.
Within minutes we had rounded up coins, nails, bottle caps, shotgun shells, a gold ring and a watch.
Here are some of the great features of the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV:
Rugged metal detector ideal for detecting treasure in extreme ground conditions
Neutralizes response to mineral content with preset ground balance
3 Detecting modes
2-Tone audio mode, Motion All-Metal mode and Discrimination mode
Distinguishes between targets and unwanted metals via disc/notch control
After Metal Detector Reviews initial test run we attached the Garrett Pro-Pointer to take this unit to the next level. For users looking to get the most out of the Bounty Hunter TK4 we recommend this add-on which both speeds up recovery while allowing you narrow down even closer, digging as needed.
Metal Detector Reviews believes when it comes to value for money the Bounty Hunter TK4 can’t be beat. A few trips to the beach (or even one if your lucky) can easily recoup the unit cost while leaving you with some change to grab some beers on the way home from your detecting adventure.
Here’s what one of the owners had to say about the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV:
I recently purchased this for my husband on his 55th birthday – we then used it on vacation at the beach for two weeks and he’s now unofficially switched from ocean fishing to “land fishing”. This detector was easy to start using immediately and our family had hours of fun finding quarters, pennies, dimes, and nickels buried in the sand. A nice piece of equipment for the price and user friendly enough to start using right away.
(R. Andrews “Birdlegz”)
