Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro: Review and Testing Part 1

[@whitlee7679]

Awesome info! Very thorough and informative. Thank you so much.

[@timm2020]

I have had my Bounty Hunter Pioneer 505 for many years and love it. Bounty Hunter is a great brand.

[@thehuntergt]

I agree Tim. The only people that knock a BH is somebody that got beat by one!

[@WilliamAlanPhoto]

Thanks for this review. I just got this, my first detector, and I don't know anything about it. You used a lot of jargon that I don't know yet, but I got a feel for how to get started. Thank you.

[@thehuntergt]

My pleasure and thanks for watching. Ever need help with it just let me know.

[@tom2509]

Thank you very much for the informative video! Im more of a hands on person , than getting it from a book. Just bought one on Amazon, only used it a short time....but recently had a hip replacement surgery at 57. Cant wait to take on this new and exciting hobby as soon as i heal.... This video really helps! Ive subscribed and await more well thought out/ informative you tube videos.... Keep up the great work !!!.... Tom

[@thehuntergt]

My pleasure Tom...thank you for the kind words. Glad my video could be of service. Hope you heal up quickly and properly and have many years of usage with the LRP. Great detector for sure.

[@snapnpiksallthetime7672]

only 173 bucks on amazon, heck I ordered one, thanks for the video

[@JONESY7MM]

I just bought it aswell

[@MexlycanFilmico]

Hi how about if the Land Ranger Pro finds a coin that is not from the US, lets say its a European Coin or South American coin would it detect it as a coin too? How would the LRP register those coins? Thanks.

[@thehuntergt]

It depends on the conductivity of the metal the coin is made from. If they are brass - copper - silver....they will be a high or mid tone. Canada has steel coins I think...so that would be iron range most likely and give a low tone. I have dug a few foreign coins and they have always been well above iron and into the "coin range". You do not have to use the coin mode either...you can always set this up to hit any coin from any country if you use one of the 3 custom modes.

[@EagTalon92]

I currently use the lone star pro. I love it! the land ranger seems like the notching process is kinda weird. but I do like it form what your video shows. but bounty hunter is a great deal. and they ate surprisingly rugged as well. I'd suggest getting a rain jacket or something like that for that machine. you seem to like it a lot.

[@thehuntergt]

+EagTalon92 Rain jacket and DD coil cover are on the way! I love my Lone Star Pro as well....and actually prefer the multiple notch system it employs better than the Land Ranger Pro.. However the LRP has VCO and a V-Break that combined with an adjustable notch make it very adjustable to how the user wants it.

[@therealgabrielcash]

@@thehuntergt where can you find coil covers and display covers for this?

[@thehuntergt]

@@therealgabrielcash Any display cover for the Euro Tek Pro will fit perfect. Same head dimensions. You can find those pretty common online.

[@therealgabrielcash]

@@thehuntergt Thank you!

[@ChrisCrossingWires1212]

They make the buttons that way for water proofing. Even if this machine not water proof thet assume wet fingers water won't get in the buttons that's a great design actually

[@thehuntergt]

I just wish they were more durable and not prone to wearing out. My only complaint of them.

[@ДемонЖуковский]

Thanks What about gold nuggets? What will be depth on this detectors in 7.8 kgz in all metal

[@fawnlliebowitz1772]

Mine just came today, looking forward to try it out at a 200 year old log cabin.

[@lakelimo33]

Thanks GT family for the videos... thanks Hunter GT for the LRP Videos; I ordered one a couple days ago to try out.. I currently have a F75 se ltd and my inherited 1260x.. along with a couple Tesoro's and my daughters BH junior..I was looking for a decent machine to leave out of state where I work; that wouldn't break the bank. You sold it to me... I look forward to giving it a try. I think you do a great job representing First Texas honestly and objectively. Also, it feels good to purchase and own products from my home state. Keep up the good work. Danny..

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for watching Danny...we appreciate your support and the nice comment. Glad to hear you are sold on the LRP...it is a great machine and as of today I have another on the way. So more videos to come with it for sure. In my opinion is probably the best price to performance ratio in all of detecting. Check out our website at www.thehuntergt.com where we have a new forum as well.

[@tomasperalta5071]

En el video veo que tiene un anillo , cuando haces la prueba el detector no lo detecta ?

[@EagTalon92]

my tesoro compadre is super simple but super sensitive. you were using a BB. in this video....my compadre will pick up an earring back. ibe tried it I couldn't believe it! and it has the older 7" coil. so the fancy machines are not always best. it's how you use what you have.

[@thehuntergt]

+EagTalon92 Just ran to see if this LRP could do the same with an earring back...hit it at 4 inches in all metal and 3 in Jewelry mode. Crazy what these "cheap" and "toy" detectors can do. Many good finds have been found with Compadres and Lone Star Pros in the $150 range...many many good finds. I always think price to performance when I buy.....and I've had my eye on this Land Ranger Pro for quite a while now. For the price of $250-300 that it can be bought at...not many come close feature and performance wise.

[@EagTalon92]

+TheHunterGT I agree, for the features and price it's pretty much unbeatable. that great that it picked up the earring back at those depths. its not the deepest, but it's good. I can't really think of anything smaller that could potentially be a valuable metal to test with either. but the earring back is a hard rest to pass for most detectors. looking forward to some now hideous since weather is getting better. keep up the good work man!

[@rfunk727]

Will the Bounty Hunter Discovery coils work on the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro?

[@thehuntergt]

No, they will not...as the Discovery is 6.6khz and the LRP is 7.7khz. It will "function"...but ID and depth will be off.

[@rfunk727]

@@thehuntergt Thanks for the reply

[@thehuntergt]

My pleasure.

[@silverkinjal]

What settings would be best for just focussing on looking for silver coins ? Including sensitivity ? Many thanks

[@billseka4141]

Great video, I bought one used But battery slider didn't open easy but finally got it open. Can't wait to try it and see the difference between this and my fisher f2 and landstar.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks! Yeah they can be a little tough with the battery doors. Should be quite an improvement over your previous machines.

[@poolman3939]

Will this work on salt beach. Thanks

[@T_Barrett]

I just bought this yesterday from the "Cyber Monday" sale for $175. I've never owned a metal detector nor even used one, so I'm definitely a beginner. You posted this video 3 years ago, so what do you think about the "Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro" 3 years later for the price I paid?

[@thehuntergt]

For $175 it is a great deal. Very capable detector. At the normal $270 they ask....not so much with the Simplex and Vanquish out now.

[@Wasssup360]

just got this one for christmas after having the bounty hunter discovery 3000 for about 5 years. would this be a good next step detector for me or should i invest in a different, better detector for my treasure hunting aspirations?

[@peterrumble1885]

Hi great review but I am in Australia and I am very interested in finding gold , in some areas where the nuggets will be quite small ,what settings and where on the scale should I be concentrating . As setting up our machines will be different due to the coins contents are different can you help me thank you

[@thehuntergt]

Sorry for late reply. Gold will fall from 20 to 60 on the LRP. Anything that beeps in that range can "possibly" be gold. However, that is where 99% of the trash range is as well. Good luck!

[@peterrumble1885]

TheHunterGT Adventures Thanks mate I will give it a go we don't have a lot to loose

[@peterrumble1885]

TheHunterGT Adventures Just you Hi again have you any idea at how deep I would find a one gram nugget at just your thoughts thanks

[@thehuntergt]

A one gram nugget is pretty good sized. You would be able to hit that in all-metal at 5 to 6 inches easy. Possibly deeper. For gold prospecting...stay in all-metal mode and dig it all. Anything that beeps.

[@peterrumble1885]

TheHunterGT Adventures Hi thank you I will let you know how I go much appreciated please keep up the good work Peter

[@FindingAlabama]

Thanks for the in depth review my friend!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for watching good sir!

[@renedevries6268]

Great review! My first dtector was the garrett ace 300i. Liked it but much to heavy. Mu Second detector and really loved it.. de teknetics eurotek pro. Still use it today. And now the BHLR pro. Read some real good things about it... I am alsothinking about the gamma 6000

[@thehuntergt]

Gamma 6000 is a great one. I currently have one for sale with the free 4in coil. It's in my forum over at www.thehuntergt.com

[@usmc6157]

Excellent vid albeit 8 yrs old…liked and subbed. I just bought this exact detector brand new for $173 today, already shipped and be here this Friday.

[@crob8240]

can you notch different areas of the scale? for example notch one area then skip over another and notch again.

[@thehuntergt]

Nope. Just one notch that you can adjust from 1-20 in width.

[@jbrown0523]

I don’t understand what the big 2 digit numbers r for.

[@thehuntergt]

That is the ID scale based on conductivity. Each detector is different in many cases. The manual for each detector will explain it.

[@superlee63]

Thanks for the video. I watched it three times and downloaded the manual. I still don't know the difference between the ground bounce and sensitivity level. does adjusting one affect the other? just bought my first detector off eBay, haven't received it yet. it's a bounty Hunter pro.

[@thehuntergt]

Sensitivity is the setting in the menu from 1-10. It is how deep the machine goes basically. Ground Balance is done by pressing the Ground Grab button and pumping the coil 1-6 inches from the ground. It will read the ground minerals and adjust itself to it.

[@daniacastellanos5788]

I don’t know where to start i was gifted this and don’t know what to do

[@thehuntergt]

Hell Dania. The first suggestion is read the manual twice...and watch this video twice. Then just turn it on and choose one of the 3 preset modes. C for Coin...A for Artifacts (or relics)...And J for Jewelry. Once you get familiar with those setting...you can branch out into the custom mode with Vbreak and Notching. It really is a great detector.

[@BlizzardPeak]

I’ve got one and idd why it keeps glitching out. I uploaded a quick video about it

[@thehuntergt]

I listened on mute - so not sure if you mentioned if plugging the coil in helps. Seems to be stuck in a restart loop. Try a fresh battery...if that does not fix it I would call Bounty Hunter for repair.

[@BlizzardPeak]

@@thehuntergt thabks yeah it does the same thing with the coil in. I’m going to reset it to factory settings and see if that works

[@warDOG420111]

I'm trying to find the best metal detector to start out with I live in Montana around a lot of mines big in copper and gold. I'm thinking about a ace 300 or 400 or this bounty hunter if you could help me. Also I watched your ace 400 video and don't know if I have bad soil here. Where can I find this information in my area

[@thehuntergt]

USGS survey maps would be the best option. Some of them are a pain to track down however. Hate to say it but Google will be your best resource there...or the local/regional office if in the nearby area.

[@warDOG420111]

ty for that information and ty for the speedy response

[@bleedingkansascoinsrelics8575]

TheHunterGT- thanks, me too I'm super excited to get it and tinker around with it where I found my seated half dollar and see what my discovery 2200 missed lol

[@sadhvacman7238]

Do you have your eye on the bounty hunter platinum or titanium for your next model?

[@thehuntergt]

Not really since they are so similar to the LRP in many ways. I'd absolutely review one if given the chance however.

[@whitemanriding]

The trouble is the bounty hunter is over 800 in Australia . I have noticed American detectors are usually 3 times the price you pay . I bought a nokta impact for much less . It's a pity , I like this bounty hunter but it's priced out of the game .

[@deteccionaventurapz7562]

How is LRP performance at the beach?

[@thehuntergt]

Decent...my mother found a gold ring her first day out with one.

[@deteccionaventurapz7562]

Im thinking about buying this detector. Is it a good choice? I had bought the ace 400 and I sold it since I didn't like its performance...

[@thehuntergt]

Yes, I think it is a very good choice. I much prefer it over the Ace 400. I have a VS video with them both...LRP wins for my tastes.

[@Justchilling732]

So do you think its a good metal detector?

[@thehuntergt]

Yes I do.

[@MsWhitesunset]

I live on a century farm. Over 15 year span, I have found relics, horseshoes etc. On and on. Never silver. This location is hot rock city. Do u know a setting that I can use, to maybe find silver. This place is nail city, along with hot rocks, but I'm not giving p, if I have to start digging with a catapillar bucket I am loving finding the history of my husbands ggrandfather.

[@thehuntergt]

If there is silver there - almost all of the modes will find it. In my opinion the best chance will be Disc 2 as it performs the best in iron separation. You can set the Vbreak anywhere along the scale. Anything in the 70 and up range will be silver.

My detecting is neither vandalism nor destruction in any way We as Hobbyist to this recreation leave no trace that we were there. Further more no where did i find that any thing lost belongs to the city. I have contacted many groups on this subject and they have never been told they can not detect for old coins or lost rings and such that could possabley be returned to the person who lost them. I do hope we can keep this issue open and come to some meeting in the middle on this to just say no is not a resolution but a uneducated reply to some thing no one has a clue to what we do. We do not destroy property we leave no trace behind and we remove things such as bottle tops glass pull tabs and the like from the ground that may harm children or others in the park. In closing i would hope your self and Mr. Huff would reconsider your decision to just say no and keep this on the table for discussions.

i JUST PAID $299 FOR A FISHER F5,... WITH 5 EXTRA'S,......SO i DON'T HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR BOUNTY HUNTERS. Because I think I have only heard of 3 with pinpoint mode. They have crafty catch phrase names and after that they fizzle out other than being vague and ambiguous,......meaning I can't find out easily does it have Adjustable Threshold? Does it have Adjustable Discrimination? Does it have Manual ground ballance or fixed or both. you need to know the depth the Detector go's to know if you want it,... deeper is better and you must know the frequency and how many specialty coils there are for it. Kellyco seems to in the past help you by providing that information. From what I see with the quick draw pro you would be better off buying a fisher F11 for $153,......or a F22 for $229.00 because they have modes and features for less.And Teknetics has some detectors I'd pick over that one. The only tempting one they have is the Time ranger pro,.......And I'd go F-11, F22,.F44 with DD coill is $13 dollars more on amazon, or F19 or gold Bug. look on metal detectors .com there's good detectors cheap now. call ballistic products if you want plated lead various shot they might hook you up. Most Bounty Hunters lack features but want as much as far better detectors.

[@thehuntergt]

Bounty Hunter "Pro" series run at 7.7kHz just like the Fisher F11-22-44 do...and the F5 you bought. The Tracker 4 is one of the best selling detectors of all time - well into 2022. Bounty Hunter is owned by the same company that owns Teknetics and Fisher - and often utilize the exact same internals.
