Land Star Question

O

New member
I have been offered a Land Star at a very attractive price... $130 and it's like new. I have never owned Bounty Hunter product. My experience is with a Fisher 1266x (former) and currently a couple Tesoro's. What can I expect? Unlike my Tesoro's, can I use this on a salt water beach? Is the display reasonably accurate? I have never owned a machine with a display and it's intriguing. Thanks for your input. Oppie
 
I air tested three of my Bounty Hunter detectors both with the 8" and 10 " coils .They were the Quick Silver, Land Star (Camo LS) and the 3300 . I thought I would share the results with you . Please keep in mind that this type of testing a detector has nothing at all to do with actual field performance . ......................................The Quick Silver with the 8 inch coil it detected the penney ,nickel , and dime all at 7 inches , and the quarter at 71/2 inches ... With the 10 inch Magnum coil it hit the penney at 7 1/2 ",nickel and dime both at 8 " and quarter at 9 inches...... The Land Star (Camo LS) actually performed worse with the 10" coil than with the stock 8 " coil . With the 8" coil it detected the penney at 8 1/2", nickel at 5",dime at 7 1/2" and a quarter at 9 inches... With the 10 " coil performance dropped with a penney detected at only 5", nickel at 5 1/2", dime at 7" and quarter at only 8 inch ...... The 3300 with the 8" coil detected a penney at 9 1/2", nickel at 8 1/2", dime at 8" and quarter at 9 inches . The 3300 really came alive with the 10 " coil detecting the penney at 10" , nickel at 10 inches , dime at 9 1/2" and quarter at 11 inches.. I was surprised how differently the Land Star and 3300 reacted to the 10 " Magnum coil . The 3300 loved it and the Land Star (Camo LS) suffered a loss in depth (???)....
 
Thanks for your reply and data. I went ahead with the purchase as the price seemed really good. I'll put it thru the paces and try it on the beach. Hopefully it will be a keeper. If not, hopefully the first seller took the hit. I can't imagine selling for less that $130. But, you never know what supply and demand will dictate.
