Great Machine for the money

Paul Linnell in Eastern Montana - best
I purchased the 505 from Wal-Mart for $200 on the close-out rack. It has the optional 4" coil, video, digging tool, etc. Reg. price was $ 278.

I spent considerable time "learning" how to use the machine and the time spent "learning" was well worth the effort. Learning how to use the "notch", discriminator, and various modes makes this detector very effective. The more I learn, the more I enjoy the unit.

If you can find one at "close-out" price, I'd strongly recommend you "grab-it".

I bought one for the wife for xmas..we've wanted detectors for ever and walmart had the prices...so impressed the wife bought me one to...Unless you set the discrimate properly you lock on to everything...Even found a magazine staple at 6in. With the 2 heads and all the other stuff at 279.00 you can't beat it..

A Great Buy

Wolf in USA - best
A great deal and a great detector. Walmart sells them for $280.00 and it comes with 5 year warranty and 8 and 4 inch coils and digger and finder bag. It is lightweight and extremely accurate. For what it has to offer you can't go wrong for the price.

All the features that an enthusiastic beginner could want

David in Roswell, GA USA - best
I purchased my 505 at my local Wal-Mart for $278. It took a while to get used to it, but I ended up finding a gold chain worth more than the detector my first time out. I would highly recommend walking through the demo and watching the video before using the unit.

The price is right and it has all the features that an enthusiastic beginner could want.

So far I am very satisfied. The 4" coil and the no-motion mode are very useful.

WalMarts Pioneer 505

Tony in Oklahoma - best
The Pioneer 505 is the "top-of-the-line" in the Pioneer series made by Bounty Hunter and marketed by WalMart. It is a deep detector but makes a lot of chatter as you use it, even with the sensitivity turned down. The notch and auto notch features were a great idea, but few people know how to use them. This detector is probably equal to the Sharpshooter II in the Bounty Hunter line. Good detector but not worth the 300 dollar price tag.

power

Anonymous in Anytown, AT 55555 - best
Great power. Finding coins 8-9 inches. Pin pointing made much easier with no-motion mode-very helpful. Makes a little more noise(chatter) than others but it also finds more. Great on silver.

beach search

barry in naples,florida - good
i bought a pioneer 505 2 days ago and am having a rough time trying to detect gold on the beach without a lot of erratic beeping. im mostly after gold and it seems that the closer that i get to the wetter sand on the beach, the more it beeps erratically. if i turn down the sensitive knob, then i could miss chains and some small items. I hope i bought the right detector for the job.it seems to work great except at the beach when trying to find gold and not pick up a lot of false signals.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Barry
