Their First Find. For Real.
The Bounty Hunter Junior T.I.D. is built for kids who want a real detector — not a toy. Visual Target ID tells them what's in the ground before they dig. Three audio tones help them learn the difference between iron junk and something worth keeping. Simple enough for a first-timer, capable enough to actually find things.
