Pretty Good Detector
Riley in Pinellas, FL -
Hi, I have received a lone star from my grandparents, and enjoy it a lot. It has an all metal option, and other options that help you find out what kind of material the object you have found is. It tells you if it is copper, (1 cent for example) and it tells you if it is gold, or silver, or any kind of coin.
VERY GOOD BOUNTY HUNTER!

Lone Star
Rick Vincent in Plymouth, MI -I purchased this lone star to find a gold bracelet that I was wearing when I was ripping out all the plant material in the front of my house (dumb to be wearing it) Well it fell off in the dirt and not to be found after rooting around for it for most of the day.
I purchased the Lonestar from a local seller and read the manual. I tested it with different metals until I felt comfortable with it. Outside I went. I scanned the area I thought I would find the bracelet. No go. So I spread out in a pattern. Found lots of items, sterling silver spoon. ( 90 year old house) then bingo! About 3ft from were I thought it would be I found gold. Dug down about 5in by hand and there was my $400 bracelet. I was ecstatic!
That one find paid for detector. Have been using it around the home and have found lots of old coins and some small antique Toy cars.. I would recommend this to anyone. Easy to use and boat fun to have.

Top notch coin shooter!
Kory S. in Wrenshall, MN -I bought the Lone Star used from ebay about 5 months ago, and so far have found over 450 coins! It's a great detector for tot lots and parks, and nails the coins with both sensitivity and discrimination around 75 percent . I would definitely recommend this detector from beginners to intermediate treasure hunters looking for a back up unit. Also, extra coils can be purchased through online metal detector dealers for those seeking the smaller coils for less trash and more treasure.
Good Luck and Have Fun.

1942 Mercury Dime...
Bill B. in Cecil, Pa USA -I just bought my Lone Star metal detector about 3 days ago. I just took it out hunting today in my backyard. Within 20 minutes of use, I dug up a 1942 mercury dime, after about an hour, I had found the dime, a spent 300 Weatherby cartridge and an item I have no clue what it is LOL.
I read the manual before using, finding it most helpful. This is my first metal detector and not sure how it stands against other metal detectors. But for a novice, this is the perfect detector! Incredibly light weight which is great since I have a bad back. I would recommend the Lone Star to anyone who is just starting out like I am. I'm sure there is a lot more out there for me to dig up!

Beginner
Stephan Miklajcyk in Phoenix, NY -I have been using this detector for a year or better and have not had a problem with it.Y ou have to know what you want and expect out of a detector, how much time you put in and how much you are going to research what you have from others. Its a basic beginner +++ detector. If you are having trouble with it there's something wrong, send it back. If I buy another machine someday it will be to swing over wet sand.

CAN'T BEAT THE LONE STAR FOR THE PRICE
mike in salt lake city, utah -I buy and sell metal detectors have tried hundreds of detectors the lone star beats most hands down for ease of use and accuracy, depth is as good or better than white prizm V and minelab xterra 70 beat all Garrett up the 2500, I have gone behind whites and Garrett and found many item that they miss, still use the lone star as primary detector other than gold in Arizona I use Minelab 2100, if you are doing parks and schools coin shooting you do not need all the bells and whistles, you can pick one up on ebay for under $100.00 can't go wrong with lone star.

Beat out 3 Whites & 3 Tesoro's on recent beach hunt
Mike Roper in Trussville, Al. USA -I just returned from a 2 1/2 day detecting hunt in the salt water and sand of south Alabama.
The first day myself & two others were all using whites. Our grand total for the day ended up being only a few copper nails.
On day 2 I swapped to my back-up "Lone Star" since the bay was full of iron fragments I set the Auto Notch. Upon working the same area that 3 Whites "Spectrum, Classic SL, Prism III and another group of three using Tesoro detectors had looked the day before I retrieved 27-unspent WCF 32-20 cal. cartridges, 4- unspent early rimfire cartridges, 1-Scovill Union Army button and an Enfield Mini-ball. The others just found a couple more copper nails. My Lone Star is now my primary beach detector.

Bounty Hunter Lonestar
Paperone in USA -I've been using this unit for five years now, to my entire satisfaction. I use it mostly with the 10" magnum coil, and, with the sens and disc knobs at their preset points, I get our (larger than US ) euro coins at an average of 7" deep.
This, being a beach hunter, is more than needed in the summer, when hunting for coins only.
Cranking the sens up and the disc down will provide 2 to 4 " bonus depth, with the disavantage of incorrect ID for the deeper coins.
All in all, I keep thinking that buried treasure doesn't know how much you paid for your metal detector. Simple units will do well in most of the cases.
