Oh' OK makes sense as why would you sell it then if it hotter than other two.
It's good to see FT putting some quality into the Bounty Hunter name as you know back in the day they were a top machine with the George Payne designed Red Baron first VLF I believe?

Yes I noticed on videos it was a zip zip type tone. I guess that the way of digital nowadays. I guess I still live in the past as love the analog type tones with modulation.

They say the new Time Ranger same machine but cool to see FT/ Bounty Hunter bring the Time Ranger back even if in name only as different than the original machine.
Ole' Del likes them F19s too.

It is a shame they could not have done that to the new Time Ranger which from what I hear is same as F19. It still cool for us old guys though to see the Time Ranger name brought back anyway for Nostalgic reasons.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Also I'm not stuck in the past as some think, sure I love my Golden uMax and Fisher CZ3D, But I also have had a Etrac since they first came out. It might not be the latest greatest Equinox or Deus II but in old parks with aluminum trash rather have it than other two. Relic hunting is different situation I realize that but I am a old coin hunter first and forem

Yes he is correct as CZs are better in dry ground as nails do not leach into the ground as much and cause falsing.
The Whites DFX and XLT I had was the opposite as preferred moist so

That funny my Dad was same way about the 50s. It does seem after 70s things really changed as far as computer cell phones and economy. Of course people talk about inflation in the 70s but I was in construction and made more in the 70s than any other time so if a person wanted to work it was there. Or the gas shortage but that was like one month for one summer not whole decade like people think.

Ole' Daniel just jealous as he missed the 70s last great decade with best music like Lynyrd Skynyrd the real band with Ronnie not one today. I saw them back in '77.
Or AC/DC with Bon Scott saw them in '78. Yes I am old but saw the best this country has to offer so would not trade it for a thing.

How is it in a old park filled with aluminum trash and foil? It ignores it or does high tone on it? What about EMI when hunting city parks? It seems noisy every video I see and everybody making excuses for it. You hunt big city parks with it? Even you buddy Ole' Cal video that thing would not shut up and he is out in the middle of no where it would sound like a 70s pinball machine in a city

Of course you have machines like the Explorer, Etracs, CTXs, that are good in aluminum trash but they don't get it all.
I had a Etrac since day one for years and still would go back with my CZ-3D and find deep coins it missed. Not just me either as everybody and their brother pounds these parks with Minelabs also even the Mighty Nox has not cleaned them out.
Are they like virgin? No but yo

Old trashy parts with foil and pull tabs that the new machines love will always have some old coins. It is silly to say everything would be found today IMO.
