I have remarkably few metal detectors at the moment. For me coils is a big deal. The V3i is a specialty machine for me, more about the Bigfoot coil than the detector really. The Equinox in theory is all I need except, except... they won't make any more coils for it!! The 24K could do the trick with the new 4" x 6" coil but it really is more a gold prospecting machine. Bottom line it is that Snake coil that is attracting me as much as the detector. In my case its kind of grab the Equinox and round 6" coil or TRP and 3.5" x 6.5" coil. With the 19 kHz being very EMI resistant I can easily see myself grabbing this to hit what we in the U.S. call the "tot lots", the playground areas where moms take the little kids. Don't know, bottom line is I've always got along well with the Gold Bug Pro, but considered the F19/G2+ to be overpriced at the old $699 or more price level. At under $400 its more palatable, though even that is pushing it by today's standards. If FT did nothing more than pop a low latency Bluetooth module into these older designs it would help freshen them up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going there doesn't show a listing for the new BH Time Ranger Pro, although at the bottom of the page you can click on the Bounty Hunter Logo and get there. We've heard that First Texas is revamping their website so maybe this is just some kind of temporary transition. OK, this is sort of funny. I notified First Texas of the error. They sent me the correct pdf and wanted to know where I got the one with the error. "Your website" I told them! Here is the correct pdf for those who would like it, and I updated the jpg in the original post so it is correct now. Thanks GB. Now let's see how long it takes for the link above to get corrected - I will delete the attached pdf when that happens. bounty-hunter-time-ranger-pro-new-2020.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone from the S rod on Gold Bug Pro to the pistol grip G2 on my last go I’m inclined back to the S rod at this point, but it’s a tough call now for me. But some have a stronger preference for sure. Steve The listing you posted is the same one I saw and with the code it's 449.00 with free shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, right you are! And well it should be and makes more sense. Guess I was color blind to red for some reason when I looked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
