Bounty Hunter Time Ranger Pro: The Top of the Line, and It Earns It
Most people think Bounty Hunter stops at backyard starters. The Time Ranger Pro is the machine that breaks that assumption: 19.2 kHz operating frequency, the same high-frequency class that gold and micro-jewelry hunters pay far more for, wrapped in the friendliest control set First Texas makes. High frequency means real sensitivity to small, thin targets: hammered coins, fine chains, cut relics that lower-frequency starters sweep right past.
Why the Time Ranger Pro
This is the flagship of the Bounty Hunter Pro series, and the feature that defines it is V-Break tone discrimination: you decide which targets play which tone, so your ears sort trash from treasure before your eyes ever check the screen. Around it sit a 5-tone audio system, adjustable discrimination with a notch filter, real manual ground balance for mineralized dirt, a pinpoint mode, and a backlit LCD with live target ID for dawn and dusk hunts. The 11 in (28 cm) DD search coil is waterproof for creeks and surf lines; like every detector in this class, the control housing stays dry. If you want one honest sentence: this is the most detector Bounty Hunter builds, designed and made in El Paso, Texas, and at $219 it undercuts most machines with this feature list by a wide margin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Time Ranger Pro the top Bounty Hunter?
Its 19.2 kHz frequency, V-Break tone control, 5-tone audio, manual ground balance, and 11 in (28 cm) DD coil. No other Bounty Hunter carries that combination.
What is V-Break tone discrimination?
It lets you assign audio tones to target ranges yourself, so specific finds announce themselves by sound and you dig less junk.
Is it good for small gold and fine jewelry?
Its 19.2 kHz frequency is genuinely sensitive to small, thin targets like fine jewelry and small coins, and the manual ground balance helps in the mineralized ground where such targets often hide.
Is the Time Ranger Pro waterproof?
The 11 in (28 cm) DD coil is waterproof for shallow water; the control housing must stay dry.
Time Ranger Pro or Land Ranger Pro?
The Time Ranger Pro adds the 19.2 kHz high frequency and V-Break tone control over the Land Ranger Pro's platform. If small targets and tone control matter, this is the one; we stock both.
