Nobody reads this far down...what are you doing down here?
I know it's a old video but I bought the SS2 @ big 5 yesterday. The combo kit with all the accessories and actually found a 6.3 gram gold nugget this morning here in Nor Cal. The Pin pointer actually works very well. I was thinking it would be as most people have indicated. But I don't have any trouble pinpointing in the plugs or hole with it so far. I've only used it once having just gone this morning for the first time in at least 10 years. So hopefully it will live up to it's opening day performance. But only time will tell. I paid $219 for the detector and combo kit at Big 5.
I just bought a SS2 at big 5 (on sale, same price)! I live in N. Cal, as well! I have not gone hunting yet. How exciting for you that you found that gold nugget first time out! I feel inspired after reading your post! 🙂
I have a older bounty hunter lone star; and i found some gold in ore; it also will detect fakes in sample bottle; but i real.havebpkay with the sensitivity and discrimination kkob.
Did you go to the mountains or did u find it just like that?
I have this detector, and I love it! It has found many things for me! Coins, rings, and relics!! Great video! Finds gold and silver!!!
Great detector that find the treasure! Loved my SS2. Thanks for watching!
@@thehuntergt I love mine as well!
My girl found this detector for 1 dollar at Goodwill. Lol. Works pretty well, thanks for the review 😉
This is my favorite oval box detector! Because of the true "all metal" mode, combined with smaller control box.
SS2 found me plenty of goods.
I just bought a SS2 at Big 5 on sale. I live in N. California and have not used it yet. You are an excellent teacher. I really appreciate your video. It has helped understand how to use it (much better than reading the manual alone). Thanks so much!
Very kind of you. Best of luck out there with it.
I have this detector and love it. It works great. Good fir a beginner too. Not good to go out and buy really expensive detectors as a first detector. First day I used this detector it was accurate in detecting what I found. Also the digger wax perfect size for my hand. I have smaller hands than most woman my size. I’m five foot three and wear kids size 3 and 4 shoes too. But I would not say the digger is
Only good for kids. I would say it’s personal preference. It does detect gold and silver. This is great motivation to go get exercise and it’s great for getting out during covid and having fun
Glad to hear it is working well for you. Getting along with your detector is a great feeling. You are correct on the digger, if it works for you that is all that matters. Best of luck out there digging up the treasures. Happy hunting and stay safe.
I got a bounty hunter 2 and your tutorial / review video was very helpful, thanks man!
+Ron Butler My pleasure Ron...glad it was helpful. Fun and very capable machine.
Had 1 of these and in the river it hit on hot rocks constantly drove me nutty but fer what it is not bad to learn on...after so long the wire plug in got lose and it just fked up every thing about it..it would not shut up to the point i threw the danm thing on the ground and walked away for a lil while i still have it but not usen it again ..my mom bought me a used whites prizim 3 fer 75$ and it kicks azz ive been at this hobby fer bout 8 years now and olny found 1 gold ring 😣 .....
I just found one of these detectors for $20 also at a yard sale at the end of summer. just started cleaning it up and set out for some Va Beach treasure hunting so dig on mate and thanks for the awsome videos.
My pleasure...thanks for watching and best of luck with it. No way to beat a $20 detector than hits 6-7 inches in dirt.
Lol you keep picking up iron because of the rebar in your concrete hahaha
I poured that garage myself. Zero rebar used. Try again jackass.
@@thehuntergt woa it's not that serious 😂
I paid about 325.00 for mine but I love it I've found a lot of coins with it. It came with the extra things with it.
Big 5 runs the kit on a one day only quite often for $199, but let me tell you $20 is a flipping steal! I'm not convinced enough to buy one yet.
Yeah... so, I'm one of those "fools" that you mention who paid $299 for this machine, man what a joke. I will be returning it later today. Could you please suggest something for me in the $300 to $350 range? I will be mostly at the beach and soft dirt. Thank you so much.
The best band for the buck in the $300 range is the Teknetics Liberator. If you can make it up to $399...the Teknetics Patriot is the best deal in all of detecting in my opinion.
@@thehuntergt to
I just bought this, thank you for doing this video it is very helpful.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching!
@@thehuntergt ,,
Just checked the price . In Australia in 2022 it sells for around 8 hundred . It's a joke .
Yeah that is a hard pass for that price.
@@thehuntergt Your comments on the nokta gold finder 2000 pls . I have a gold monster but I feel I need to have a detector with a different frequency . Would appreciate your advice . Thank you .
@@whitemanriding They are pretty similar on performance honestly. If you already have a GM1000 I feel a GF2000 would be a sideways step.
@@thehuntergt I will give that some thought . Thanks.
I paid $79.99 for the exact kit brand new
My bounty hunter lone etar pegged gold on gold ore and practiced with gold flakes; but i had push machine to its limits on sensitivity and discrimination mode; bounty hunter needs raise frequency on gold to 45 frequency get better results
I doubt they will ever release a true gold machine under the BH name. They will leave that to the Fisher or Teknetics name (all 3 owned by First Texas Products). The Time Ranger "Pro" at 19khz is the newest Bounty Hunter release...and based off the F19 (G2+). It is likely as close as they will get to making a gold machine under that brand.
I got one and I enjoy it
Tons of fun to be had with them. Very capable units.
puedo buscar oro y plata con este aparato?
I own two of these,got one for $20 at the swap meet new in the Big 5 box with the accessories and my first one at Walmart for $50 on clearance...they are very easy to use and I find coins and silver rings fast in the parks..gets a little tricky when multiple targets are together..I don't usually dig the low tones because 99% are pull tabs so I'm probably passing up some gold jewelry every now and then...and yeah it sucks for small gold...I have a Gold bug 2 for that.
For coins and silver rings to 5-6 inches...there is not much out there that can touch a Tracker 4. Very fast machine with decent separation and unmasking. For many people...it is all the detector they will ever need.
Got one in 1996 it still works great today 2018.
Rebar is in that concrete slab.
Wouldn’t 9 o’clock be considered like 25%? I’d think 75% would be closer to 2-3 o’clock?
One man's junk is another's man's treasure
loved the video GT I learned a lot on my bounty hunter I am new to this tks for sharing :) peace and fun Mrs.Ricki Wolfe
My pleasure Mrs. Wolfe. Glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it. Enjoy the SS2...it is a good machine.
Should use the tools it came with when you tested it. Would've made the review worth watching
The 68K views are for the SS2...nobody cares about the $5 trowel and $10 headphones.
I found this same metal detector on Facebook market for 130$. It doesn't come with any of the accessories. Do you think this is a good deal, should I get it? (Btw it was used)
Not a good deal. You can get it lower than that brand new at times.
Tenho uma dessa,e ela começou aparecer um defeito de quando eu ligo ela, tem ruído continuo,sem indentificar nada . Já perdeu o prazo de fabricação, qual será o defeito mas evidente com essas informações que eu passei a vcs???
Great video, thx HunterGT.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the kind comment!
First day I used it and found two pieces of cans and one penny
It's a start! Best of luck.
Great finds, if you found that, just imagine if it was a whole treasure chest, filled with pirates booty. Maybe a whole civil war soldier wearing a ring. Could get luckier and find some cans that you can cash in and get some old pennies in return. You never know. 😉
hey Hunter just enjoyed watching your Sharpshooter 2 video was thinking about getting one to have as a backup in case something was to happen to my land Ranger Pro or my f44 plus I don't like to carry those around in my van you know those are nice detectors if I broke down somewhere and had to hook it to get some help someone could break into my van and steal my great metal detectors so yeah that's what I was thinking about doing had no idea that that Sharpshooter II had incredible death like you show it does there that's really good 7 8 9 in and rings and things that's really good so yeah I might go ahead and get one Fingerhut catalog so probably still too much money to pay for one of those even with all the accessories but you know it is what it is anyway great video enjoyed it take care my friend peace out.
Yeah it is too much in the Fingerhut...I'd get something else unless ya need to do the monthly payments. For $149 the Minuteman would be a GREAT backup detector to toss in the van. Same as the EuroTek Pro. Don't get me wrong...alot to love about the SS2...but I'd try to find one under $200 for sure.
i live near Gold Country... would this be of any use when i get up in that area?
It will hit larger gold. But it is not ideal as a gold prospecting machine no. In a mining camp for relic hunting - sure.
super score way to go
Thanks man!
I have trouble with this detector at the beach has so many false signals help!!! Anywhere else I love it
Lower the sensitivity is about the only trick available. Being a single frequency VLF with a fixed ground balance, it is not made to be used in salt water.
@@thehuntergt thank You so much
I've been thinking about getting my first metal detector so have watched many review videos. I have come to the conclusion that most detectors can't distinguish between a pull tab and a gold ring. Considering the atomic structure of the two are at almost opposite ends of the scale and with today's technology, this surprises me. Maybe someday someone will invent a detector that compares mass to volume. Then you will have a detector that can truly discriminate
Thom Vogan When that day comes that detector will cost $20K. Until then they will continue to work based on cunductivity. Gold and aluminum are very close there.
which is best in depth
tracker 4 or sharpshooter ?
For trashy spots Tracker 4....for open spaces and depth SS2.
I just purchased this one and it goes off constantly its aggravating help
Olol
I have a bounty hunter made for radio shake wl,what is it compared to as a bounty hunter model
There have been multiple Radio Shack branded Bounty Hunters....they had a deal for years. Be hard to narrow it down without a picture.
How do u find gold with this
Zero disc...dig everything.
can help me out
I have this detector. it false a lot to the point I can’t use it
I use auto notch. Low sensitivity . disc. All the way. Single beeps constantly. The land star does The same thing .
Oo0
A.L.Y.
So basically it sucks.
its actually "discriminate Mode"...just sayin
Everybody who watches is aware...as even a newb to detecting knows disc = discrimination. Just saying....
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the view!
Sure...send me some nuggets and I'll gladly do it LOL. I no longer have this detector sorry.
My pleasure man. Appreciate your support.
I can't stand it! Sharp Pooper more like it. Makes me feel like I'm Shia Lebeouf in the movie holes. Very inconsistent, changing and phantom tones. I get so frusterated.
If I didn't have a beach nearby where I can easily dig I would Chuck this hunk of junk because it's defined made me it's biotch. Hunting for hours many holes on numerous occasions only found rusted nails and a dime.
Way too many signals nothing usually there
All different tones for most every "object"
Dig the holes and it leads you to another area
Try to be neat with my plugs but it's impossible!
