Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II Review
The Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II steps above the brand's most basic detectors by adding a visual display with target identification, making it a strong choice for beginners who want more information than tones alone. It runs Bounty Hunter's VLF technology with motion all-metal and discrimination modes, plus target categories shown on the display so you can judge a find before you dig. It is still easy to use, but it gives you room to grow. If you want a detector that bridges bare-bones and mid-range, the Quick Draw II is worth a look. See where it lands in our rankings.

Overview: a step up with a display
The Quick Draw II is aimed at hobbyists who have outgrown a tone-only detector, or who simply want visual feedback from day one. The display shows a target category so you can distinguish likely trash from likely treasure before committing to a dig — a big time-saver in trashy sites. It keeps the friendly, approachable feel Bounty Hunter is known for, so the added information doesn't come with a steep learning curve.
As a VLF coin-and-relic detector it excels on parks, fields, yards, and dry beaches. It is a general-purpose machine rather than a specialist, and pairs well with a coil upgrade as your skills grow. For the bigger picture, read are Bounty Hunter detectors good.
Key features
- Visual target ID: an on-screen category readout helps you identify targets before digging.
- Discrimination control: filter out iron and foil trash to focus on good targets.
- Motion all-metal mode: maximum sensitivity to detect everything in the ground.
- Interchangeable coil: swap to a bigger coil for depth or a smaller coil for trashy ground — see our coil guide.
- Lightweight, balanced build: comfortable for longer hunts than budget models.
Who it's for
The Quick Draw II fits beginners who want visual feedback rather than tones alone, and improving hobbyists who need to dig fewer trash targets in busy parks. It is a good bridge between a bare-bones detector like the Gold Digger and a full-featured machine like the Land Ranger Pro. If you mainly hunt clean, open ground and are on a tighter budget, the tone-based Tracker IV may be enough.
Tips and coils
Use the visual ID as a guide, not gospel — dig questionable but repeatable signals, especially the ones that read inconsistently, because good deep targets often do. Add discrimination gradually so you don't accidentally reject valuable non-ferrous items. Sweep low, slow, and level to keep readings stable. A larger coil helps on open sites where depth matters, while a smaller coil improves target separation in trash. If you're just starting, our how-to guide covers setup and sweep technique.
