Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro: The Sweet Spot of the Pro Series
Every detector line has one machine where the price and the feature list cross at exactly the right spot. In the Bounty Hunter Pro series, that machine is the Land Ranger Pro. It carries the big 11 in (28 cm) waterproof DD coil and the digital target ID system of the flagship, at a price that leaves money in your pocket for a pinpointer and a digger.
Why the Land Ranger Pro
The heart of the machine is its advanced digital target ID: a number on the backlit LCD tells you what is probably under the coil before you cut turf, and 4-tone audio tells your ears the same story so you can keep the coil moving. Adjustable discrimination filters the pull tabs, manual ground balance stays honest in mineralized soil, and a pinpoint mode puts your digger exactly on target. The 11 in (28 cm) DD coil covers more ground per sweep and reads deeper than the 8 in coils on the mid-tier machines; it is fully submersible for creek edges and surf, while the control housing stays dry. One big-dealer page calls its sibling "the top model in the Pro series" while selling this one on bundles; the honest ladder is simpler: the Time Ranger Pro adds 19.2 kHz and V-Break tone control at $46 more, and the Land Ranger Pro is the value rung most hunters actually need. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the Land Ranger Pro sit in the Bounty Hunter line?
Second from the top: above the Quick Draw Pro, below the 19.2 kHz Time Ranger Pro. It shares the flagship's 11 in (28 cm) DD coil and digital target ID.
What does the 11 in DD coil actually buy me?
More ground per sweep, better depth than the 8 in coils on mid-tier machines, and better target separation in trashy ground thanks to the DD design.
Is it waterproof?
The coil is fully submersible for shallow water hunting; the control housing must stay dry.
Is the Land Ranger Pro good for a beginner?
Yes, if you want a machine you will not outgrow in a season. It runs simply out of the box, and the manual ground balance and discrimination controls are there when your sites start demanding them.
Land Ranger Pro or Time Ranger Pro?
The Time Ranger Pro adds 19.2 kHz small-target sensitivity and V-Break tone control for $46 more. Fine jewelry and tiny relics: go Time Ranger Pro. General coins and relics: this machine is the value pick.
