Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II
Great for the Price!
George"Kernel"Corn in Alabama -
I have been metal detecting for about 40 years and have owned Whites, Garretts, Detex, Radio Shack detectors. I have owned my QD2 for about 2 years and have found over 400 coins, a gold pocket watch frame at 8", some civil war relics. The depth has been comparable to a whites prism 5. The discrimination works pretty well and depth indication is almost right on! The only thing that would make this detector even better would be Pinpoint capability. Overall, it is a great detector for the price.

Needs pinpoint feature
Richard P in NH USA -
Last week I dug out my whites coinmaster from 1981. I got the itch after hearing about all the new technology, so I purchased a Bounty Hunter quick draw II. Very disappointed. This machine does not pinpoint at all, I have spent 5 minutes trying to pinpoint an object and then give up. I took out my old whites and found the object right away. I am returning this machine and buying another whites.

Great Machine for a Great Price
Tom in WI -This has been a great coin machine although I have not found any silver or even wheats. The soil here eats zinc in this country. Found lots of clad. It really sounds off when over gold or coins and have on a couple of occasions picked up penny's to 6". Tone differentiation is fantastic and for the most part is accurate on the depth unless it's a large iron object or pop,beer can etc. Have had a hard time notching out all pull tabs with out loosing silver but have still found silver rings. Have found several 10 and 14 K rings so I have no gripes with this machine at all.

Good but be warned.
Luke in Australia -The QDII is a great machine but obly when used in the correct conditions. I have found that when you use it on the type of rich moist soil you find on alot of lawns you cand beat this machine, in these conditions i have detected .22 shells at about 6" and quite a few 303 shells from WWII at up to 8" however when you take it to some rough, rocky and dry conditions and also sandy freshwater riverbeds, volcanic regions etc.. the detector will be un-usable.
In these conditions the unit beeps continually, so much so that at some places it will randomly beep 20 times in one swing. in these cases the unit can still detect quite deep however you usually have to swing 10 times in the same place for every single swing to see if there is actually a repeatable signal, and thus a metal object there.
My suggestion if you are living inland is to get something with manual ground ballance. Also be very careful not to lift the coil too high as this also gives alot of false signals.
In conclusion you should take careful note of ground conditions you will be detecting before buying this machine, it is perfect for most coastal and especially residential areas as i was able to find small nails at upto 6" deep directly under a powerline so if you live in a city where you expect electrical interference this detector is excellent for coinshooting, and jewelery hunting but if you live in areas with any reasonable amount of iron, tin or any metalic based mineralisation go for a manual ground ballance detector. I know that this generally goes without saying but i have seen alot of reviews and field test reports climing the QDII's auto ground ballance is the ducks nuts of all detectors, personally i believe no matter where you are manual ground ballance is worth the small difference in price because you never know when you might need it.
If you only plan on using your detector locally make sure you buy the detector locally that way the person you buy it off will know if it is the best choice for the ground conditions you are going to encounter.

Super detector for the price!
Scott Beasley in South Carolina -This is a great detector for the money. Lot's of high-end features at a lower end price. Target ID is right-on most of the time, but not perfect. It has been a great coin shooter and relic detector. Get on off *bay for the best prices.

Quick Draw II
jeff@middlesex in USA -Great machine at a great price to get you into metal detecting. Tone ID, visual target ID on the meter as well as a depth reading. Everything you will ever need in a detector. Excellent depth but best of all great discrimination against iron and other trash objects.
