Great unit for the price!
August 05, 2018
This is my fifth metal detector. I have owned ever brand except Makro and
Minelabs. For ease of use I would rate it tops. It's very sensitive down to
10 ins. On coin sized items. I have used it with the 11 in, coil on trashy
areas and it is able to pick out coins from nails with no problem.
I found a silver ring mixed in with nails today without any problem. I found I could use the BHLRP for prospecting too. I have found 2 gram gold nuggets down to 5 inches with this unit. Its very sensitive!! My only complaint about the BHLRP is the pin pointer does not work very well in trashy areas. I think it has a hard time locking on to items when there is more then one target under the coil. I use this unit with a separate pin pointer, as most serious detectorists do, so the pinpoint function doe not get used much any how. A great metal detector for the price otherwise. I noticed it is available on ebay for about 265.00 including shipping. No other detector comes close for the price wOrks well in water or on the beach too. Great Detector!!!!

Pinpoint mode useless
October 08, 2017
I've had it for several months. Been to the beach and park. Pinpoint mode
is virtually uselsess. It will not stay in the pinpoint mode. Found
modifications on youtube to add a separate pinpoint button. I should have
left it alone. I messed up the soldering and now have at best an
intermittent pinpoint mode..Not much different than when it was new out of
the box. As far as detecting it is great. Good depth and decent target ID.
If it wasn't for the pinpoint mode problem I would rate it excellent.

The best for the bucks

I have had over 10 different detectors from all major manufactures, I have
had the LRP for about 3 years, when it first came out. It is as good or
better than all of the ones I had before.
The monoplane buttons could be better, but I've adjusted to their sensitivity. This unit has all of the features one needs to either turn on and go, or adjust for particular hunting areas and styles. The screen is nice and big, the information easy to decipher and it's light enough to swing all day without fatigue. The recovery speed is about as fast as it gets. The depth is also impressible, to 10" on a quarter sized object.
With it's all metal mode, that shows depth and conductivity in real time, one could find that the LRP will surprise with even more than 10" targets. One button ground balance or manual ground balance can be obtained in the customs and all metal modes. For the price, to get all of the power and options of it's ability, plus a 11" DD coil, well.....Where can you get that for under $300.
It's a great machine to learn on with it's 3 preprogrammed turn on and go modes, and it's ability to move to 3 different programmable modes to change sounds, notching and to ground balance. In a nutshell, the Land Ranger Pro is all you need to command the ground up to 10". More than that is gonna cost you.....Big. If you love digging signals more than a foot with a shovel, then you need to look elsewhere. If you enjoy detecting targets with a hand digger and having fun doing it, look no further.

??good!

The following use of computer translation, may be a lot of syntax errors. I
am a user from China, this is my first detector, I have done a lot of
comparison before buying it, and finally chose it! It did not let me down!
So far I have used it for 10 months, in the 10 months I used it found a
total of 50000 worth of RMB (about $7500) items, most of them are ancient
bronze and silver coins. Its depth is very common, but the function is
perfect. Once you are familiar with it, you will know it is very handy.

I bought this machine in Spring 2016. The potential looked awesome but
proved a big disappointment. All so-called goid targets turned out to be
junk! Went to some old fields aND could not lock into old silver at any
depth. So please don't waste your money! I sold it quickly afterward. Big
disappointment!!!

Not to bad
April 26, 2016
Since no one has written one I will do my best. I have only owned it for
about a month, but I have used and many different ones. This detector is
not going to be super deep. It will be about what they say, 10 inches on
coins, maybe. I would say around 7 to 10 inches. I have tested it to 7
inches in real hunting. It came across loud and clear. I don't know about
beach hunting, never done that. As far as a coin machine, I think that you
will like it. Especially for the price. It has some pretty good features
also. A true all metal. Several preset programs, and some you can change.
Ground balance is nice, and simple to accomplish. All in all I like it,
plus simple to use right out of the box.
