Review: 100% recovery - I bow hunt, and when I first started, I would miss my long shots—50 yards and beyond—and the arrows would end up buried a couple of inches underground. At $12–$15 per arrow, losing them adds up fast. After losing around 20 of them, I finally bought this metal detector. Best decision I made. I found every single arrow I’d lost, plus several my friends had lost too—easily about $300 recovered on the very first day. I’ve had this detector since 2012 and still use it regularly. I’ve never had a situation where I couldn’t recover something—whether it was lost, buried, or dropped. I’ve lent it out to others, and they’ve had the same success. Today, I’m loaning it to someone to help find a lost wedding ring, which inspired me to write this review. It might be old and a little beat up at this point, but it still works like a champ and gets the job done every time.
Review: Did it's job - First let me say I don't profess to know much about metal detecting. I bought this metal detector to find my wedding ring, which flew off my finger the other night while I was playing volleyball in the backyard with the kids (it was a chilly night and the ring was loose on my finger.) After an hour of searching, I figured it was worth it to buy an inexpensive metal detector in hopes of finding my ring. I ordered it on Wednesday, it arrived on Friday (2 day shipping for $3.99 with prime.) I put the batteries in, read through the well-written booklet and did the tests it suggested. We had no problems finding the test objects (penny, quarter, nail) so I started "sweeping" the area where I thought it might be. I found it within 15 minutes. Granted, it wasn't buried in the ground or anything, but we did have several other "hits" that were definitely objects in the ground - strong signals but we just didn't take the time to dig since I knew my ring was buried in grass, not dirt. The kids can't wait for their turn now that the ring has been found. I think they will get some fun use out of it and they want to dig on our other "hits" from tonight. The pros for this item were the fast shipping, easy to use right out of the box (just had to insert 2 9V batteries), well-written instructions, and it is Made in the USA. It felt sturdy and well-made but it was short in length (it is a Jr. size, after all) - didn't matter for my use but an adult wanting to do some serious detecting would want a longer one. The length feels just right for my children (ages 11, 8 and 5) and it is not too heavy, either. It is very simplistic - two dials (one for power/sensitivity and one for target elimination - like for ruling out iron or other metals if you are getting too much junk in your detecting) and one needle gauge called the "Target Indicator". It made a buzz/beep sound that was easy to hear. One thing - I do not see nor did I read about where you can plug any earphones in - which is a feature other detectors have. If you have a specific need (like finding a lost ring!) or if your children want to try their hand at metal detecting, this seems like a great product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this detect gold?**
A: It should. We have not found any. But find buried toys other metallic objects, a lot of roofing nails if to close to the house. The 3 faces on the lcd detect the density of the metal. there is also a depth gauge on the lcd

**Q: Can someone tell me what is the age age for this item?  I'm looking for a 12 year old.**
A: This item is a good detector, but it is way too small for a 12 year old. My 5 year old grandson can handle it pretty well. It is short, because it is made for a young child.

**Q: Any one elses shipped in a plane brown box? Im wondering if its a used/refurb item.**
A: UPDATE: The Bounty Hunter Junior T.I.D. is now shipped in a retail color box.

**Q: Can someone tell me if it shipped in a big box? I would like to take it with me in my luggage on a plane.**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressed for the price!
*by K***P on March 25, 2014*

Ok, so I bought this for my 8 year old daughter, but I use it more. It is very simple sound based detector, once you get used to the high and low tones I have found about 90% plus accuracy for filtering out pull tabs and trash. My friend bought a $699 detector and each time we have gone out, I have found more than he has. His has a greater depth detection, but he ends up spending more time on deep stuff that ends up being trash. I even set up 3 trails of different coins in the grass and my daughter found all of hers well before the other two people. Recently I bought a more expensive detector Swarm Series MX100 for myself and there are too many random sounds and too many things to look at on the screen, I end up going back to use the Bounty hunter when we are out. I found it too difficult to pinpoint the actual item on the new one , where the bounty hunter tone gets highest when you are directly over the item. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially starters. I have found a sterling silver ring and a gold plated ring as well with this. The only thing you have to adjust in the discriminator dial, once you get used to the sounds you can adjust it while passing over an object to help determine whether you should dig it or not.
