The Discovery 1100 is the cheapest Bounty Hunter that puts a visual target ID on screen with tone identification in your ears, which is exactly why it beats the knob-only starters that cost nearly the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Discovery 1100\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-tone audio splits targets into iron, mid-range, and high-value readings like silver, while the digital display confirms the call and a depth readout says how far down, coin-sized targets read to 6 in (15 cm). Four discrimination modes plus adjustable sensitivity let you tighten the machine down in trashy parks or open it up in clean fields. At just over 2 lb (0.9 kg) with an ergonomic S-rod and padded armrest, it is one of the lightest full-function detectors sold, easy for smaller adults and older kids to swing all afternoon. The 7 in (18 cm) waterproof coil handles wet grass and shallow water edges. One heads-up while you compare: a national big-box currently lists this exact machine at $129; the manufacturer-permitted street price is $88. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiscovery 1100\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTarget ID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisual, with 3-tone audio identification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscrimination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 modes + adjustable sensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth (coin-size)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 6 in (15 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital, with depth indication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSearch coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 in (18 cm), waterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgonomics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS-rod, padded armrest, adjustable shaft; just over 2 lb (0.9 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 9V alkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst Texas Products, El Paso, Texas, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery 1100 control unit and shaft with 7 in (18 cm) waterproof search coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBounty Hunter factory warranty (First Texas Products)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers stocks the full Bounty Hunter line.
