The Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300

For a low priced metal detector, the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 is packed with features. It is simple enough to enjoy even if it’s your first time out. The Discovery 3300 metal detector is great for both beginners and those more experienced with metal detectors. Custom programming with both automatic and ground-balance let the coil find exactly what you’re after as efficiently as possible. It is lightweight, weighing in at 2.4 pounds. The unit is well constructed and features a waterproof coil for use in shallow water. This detector has no complex adjustments or settings to worry about. Just turn it on for easy location of coins, rings, gold and relics at the park, beach, and campground or in the back yard.

The Discovery 3300 has a large LCD display and advanced microprocessor. Controlled circuitry ensures less interference for more finds in less time. There is motion discrimination with numeric target identification that accurately identifies buried targets on a scale from 0 to 99, letting you know what is likely to be down there before you dig. Seven-segment target elimination weeds out the bad stuff, while 11-segment digital target identification and notch discrimination filter out junk as you go for the gold and other valuables. The Discovery’s Zap mode lets you accept or reject specific items. This detector is equipped with a coin-depth indicator digital display that tells you if a coin is right under the surface or up to 8 inches down.
Other features include: squelch tech noise reduction circuitry, touch pad all-digital controls, a headphone jack (headphone not included), an interchangeable coil system (4- to 10-inch coil options with just the 8-inch coil included here), and an adjustable padded arm rest and stem that adjusts for kids and adults for optimal comfort. The unit uses two 9-volt alkaline batteries (not included) and is covered by the manufacturer’s great 5-year warranty.
