Product Description

Perfect for beginners and recreational treasure seekers, the Bounty Hunter Discovery 1100 offers an intuitive entry into metal detecting. Its standout feature—a visual target ID with tone identification—makes it easy to distinguish between junk and valuable finds before you dig.


This VLF (Very Low Frequency) detector delivers solid performance for locating coins, jewelry, and other metallic objects up to 6 inches deep for coin-sized targets. With three-tone audio target identification and a clear digital display, users can easily differentiate between iron, mid-range metals, and high-value items like silver. The Discovery 1100 features four discrimination modes and adjustable sensitivity to filter out unwanted items like nails and pull-tabs, allowing for more focused searching.


Built with an ergonomic S-rod design, padded armrest, and adjustable shaft, this detector is comfortable to swing for extended periods. It weighs just over 2 pounds, making it easy to handle for users of all ages. The waterproof 7-inch searchcoil allows for shallow water detecting, while the simple push-button controls and long battery life make it ideal for stress-free outings in the field.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the Discovery 1100 good for beginners?

    Yes. The Discovery 1100 is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring intuitive controls, automatic ground balance, and visual/audio target identification—making it an excellent choice for new users.

    What types of metal can this detector find?

    It detects a wide range of metals, including iron, aluminum, zinc, brass, copper, and silver. Its three-tone audio and display indicators help you distinguish between trash and treasure.

    How deep can it detect objects?

    Coin-sized objects can typically be detected up to 6 inches deep, while larger objects may be detected at greater depths depending on soil conditions and sensitivity settings.

    Does it have a pinpoint feature for exact target location?

    No, the Discovery 1100 does not include a pinpoint mode. However, with proper sweep technique (like “X-ing” over a target), you can still accurately narrow down the location.

    Can I use it at the beach or in wet conditions?

    The 8" searchcoil is waterproof, so you can use it in damp sand or shallow freshwater areas. However, the control box is not weatherproof, so avoid submerging it or using it in rain.

    Can it find small gold items?

    It may detect larger gold jewelry, but due to its frequency (6.6 kHz) and lack of advanced sensitivity, it's not ideal for finding fine gold or prospecting in mineralized ground.

    Does it show what kind of metal is detected?

    Yes. The detector uses a 3-category target ID system (Iron, Mid-Range, and Silver/Copper), along with corresponding tones to help you identify the likely type of metal.

    What kind of batteries does it use and how long do they last?

    It uses two 9V alkaline batteries (not included), with an average battery life of 20–25 hours depending on use and settings.

    Who is this detector best suited for?

    The Discovery 1100 is ideal for hobbyists, kids, and entry-level users looking for a reliable, easy-to-use detector for coins, jewelry, and general-purpose treasure hunting.
