Titan 2000 XD

[conax]

Hi folks
I'm new at all this and last spring I bought this Titan detector. I tried it out a little and found some rusted iron junk.
Anyway, is the Titan a bounty hunter or what? Is it considered an ok beginner's coin shooter?
Mine has a 10" coil and seems sensitive enough, although in town here it makes a lot of false beeps.
I bought a fairly expensive 'rattler' headset (single sided) and figured out it just beeps the same loudness anyway so an earplug would probably work as well. Don't some detectors modulate the beep with target info, like depth and strength?
Maybe someone with one like that might need this rattler headphone.
Thanks for any help,
Tyler

I believe the Titan 2000XD is the same circuitry and display as the Elite 2200 and the Discovery 2200. The main difference is the large coil. I have an Elite 2200 and like it better than my Pioneer 505. I run mine with the sensitivity at mid range and discriminate-out iron. This "usually" ignores iron unless it is very rusty. It does however respond to aluminum foil, pull tabs, screw caps etc, but since those items have the same electromagnetic signature as do gold items and nickles, I just have to dig a bunch of junk. Sometimes I only go for coins in which case I crank-up the discrimination all the way.

I think this family of machines is totally awesome. I really like the fact that I can operate the controls with the fingers on my swinging arm and that the instrument is so light weight.

Thank you, Mark. It's good to hear from someone with info..
I'm in the dark and when you look up Bounty hunters, the Titan doesn't come up.

I have a Titan 2000. It's a good machine. Over time you will learn it.

Mark's information is accurate. The Titan is a private label product and as such is not shown on our website as a BH.

I didn't know that the Titan 2K came with the 10 inch searchcoil. People tend to believe that "bigger is better", but for most purposes our regular 8 inch searchcoil is better than the 10 incher. Our 4 incher is very inexpensive and has an excellent reputation for use on trashy sites where target separation is necessary to ferret out shallow good targets which would be masked by adjacent bad targets if you were using a larger searchcoil.

I have only used the 10" it came with and get a lot of false signals. Living in a small town with power lines and cell towers it might have been better to go with the 8" coil. The detector was available with either size, as I recall, so I went with the deeper ranging 10".
(Didn't know much about it at the time)
I wonder if the detector needs electronic alignment or adjustment if the coil is changed, and what coil would be most compatible with it. I am mostly interested in finding 90% silver coins.
Maybe someone would like to trade an 8 for this (like new) 10. I put the accessory guard on it, and will include it.

Thanks for the responses, all info is appreciated!

I was going to buy a 4 inch search coil. I called someone at Kellyco and they told me that Bounty Hunter search coils will work with the Titan 2000. Call Kellyco and ask them because I think they are the only ones carrying the Titan 2000.

Thanks Lizz
I'll do so.

Or email or call the Bounty hunter company and get it straight from the horses mouth , so to speak.
