A convenient, exclusive D-Tech 8’’ concentric search coil

It has search coil that is connected to a plastic shaft. The plastic shaft then connects it to an aluminum shaft, and there is a spring on the whole shaft. The length of the shaft is adjustable, so you can quickly size it to fit whoever is using it. The search coil is used to scan for any metals that are buried in the soil.

Whatever the coil senses is what is reflected on the LCD screen. You only read and approximate where to begin digging out the hidden treasure. You can sense through water because the search coil is waterproof and that makes it extremely ergonomic.

Accurate discrimination

The Bounty Hunter Lone Star Metal Detector has an impressive digital target ID discrimination. You are supposed to enjoy finding coins up to 8 inches deep in the soil. Additionally, you have nine target IDs on screen. The discrimination is adjustable. It will be so easy for you to do away with unwanted targets and focus on your gold-standard metal targets.

No more guess work with the metals you want to find. Just notch your discrimination and all the junk will be rejected as you get what you desire. Consequently, a three mode of operation featuring the all-metal, progressive discrimination, and the notch and auto notch modes will do you good during your metal hunting exercise.

Excellent sensitivity control

You do not need to struggle with the idea of what extent you want to detect metals. Opposite the screen, you will see the sensitivity button. Once you increase the sensitivity of your Lone Star MD, you are safe. The depths of detection are increased, and that gives you awesome hunting days!

Furthermore, the recovery of the detector is very high. You just pass a piece of iron; it will produce a low pitched sound and few inches far from the iron piece you got a quarter. The pitch sound produced will rapidly become high. That notifies you that you got a different metal altogether.

A vast and easy to read Visual display

The face of the MD features a highly available screen. On the face, you have a full discrimination control and a digital target depth indicator. Also, you have an excellent sensitivity bar graph that will help you when you use the sensitivity button. Approximate depths of the target metals and their identities can be displayed on the screen.

Notably, there is an indication for zinc, iron, coins, quarters and aluminum on the screen and once you choose a given mode, you shall find what you want and very quickly.

A three tone audio discrimination

The detector has an excellent internal speaker that produces three different pitches of sound. The difference in the tons implies a difference in the type of item detected in the ground. Hey, if you try an iron nail a silver quarter and a pull tub, for instance, you shall note the difference.

The detector will produce a high-pitched sound when passed over the quarter, a medium one if it is over the pull tub and a flat ton in the case of iron. That proves to be an excellent mechanism for distinguishing between the treasures detected without having actually to look at the screen.
