I have had my ' D33 ' the older model, bought it for $99. For about 7years. Even though the manual gb is a bit hinki in that as soon as you hitpinpoint your disc settings reset. However, the amount of treasure I foundmore than made up for it. Using the preset depth setting I pulled out asilver dime at 5in. A qtr at 7in. Using the 8in coil the dirt was almostclay. In hunting from may till end of oct, between the beaches and otherplaces, I had free laundry and parking meter quarters for a long time.The best investment I could have made. Soon I added a 4in and a10.5 in coil. Over the years between I have found 9 gold rings, many goldearrings, sterling silver tl. Just under 4oz. Many silver coins, thousandsin current coin. Bullets, war buttons. Once you truly learn this machineyou won't be disappointed.
Max Depth: 7 inches on US quarter

Great little machine.

I bought this machine after my AT PRO died about 3 months ago and was tooexpensive to fix. I liked the idea of the four tones, pin point and targetID, the zap sounded interesting and all those features for a reasonableprice.I also had a Tracker IV so could swap coils especially thesniper. First hunt was good though I couldn't get the hang of the pinpointer or ground balance so just used the auto ground balance. I now lovethe ground balance and find I can tell the depth of the target with it asit sounds strangled when the target is deep. It took a bit of working outon the wet sand but I found that if I used one bar of discrimination onlyit worked fine.
It has found silver where both the Tracker andPRO had been before and the $2 coins are mounting up. I don't use the zapmuch but is because I am one of those that wonders what he is missing.
Battery life is reasonable with headphones. Depth seemsgood.
Cons... Battery compartment lid is fussy to fit back on anda bit light but I have yet to find a battery door I do like. It is notwater proof. I am using this to get enough coin so I can get a diving orwaterproof machine. Not a learners machine but easy to get the hang of ifyou have a little experience under your belt.

Ground balance on bh3300
Once I set the ground balance knob it always goes back down, I tried tapingit in place and it is bothersome, thats a downfall for this detector.Max Depth: 7 inches on US quarter

Great Detector for any price
I have four other detectors along with the Bounty hunter 3300. I findmyself using it more than any other detector. It is easy to swing and has aextremely accurate discrimination mode. The Ground balance work well and isquite easy to use when you get use to it. Battery life is good and the thedisplay is easy to read. If I could only have one detector that cost under$500 this would be the one, and when you can find the 3300 for under $250it becomes the best machine value on the market.Overall Rating

Great detector
This is a great detector for the money, it picks up almost anything eventhe smallest bits of metal that you can barely see, I have had troublesorting objects from the soil because of their small size. I find it to beaccurate and have had no false readings yet. All in all very happy withthis device.Overall Rating

What a great detector !
After useing a Garrett Ace 250 I bought the Discovery 3300. ( New model inall black 2010 )After just a few hours with the Discovery 3300 I sold the Garrett. TheDiscovery has so much more to offer (Ground balance, VDI numbers).
The stability even with full sensitivity was perfect in the woods. Coins atup to 10 inches can be found. The depth meter on the screen tells rightaway how deep to dig on coins. Some really deep coins (+8 inches) show upas iron, but the depth meter told me to 'dig that deep target'.
It is sooo lightweight and fun to swing all day.
The pinpoint mode is sticky and can be used as a search non motion mode.Just retune by pressing the pinpoint buttom every minute.

Super Star For The Money!
This detector has been super for the money. I bought it new from RadioShack to see how I would like detecting. The descrimination, pin-pointingand target identification are all very good. It does eat batteries if youdon't use head-phones and the depth reading tends to be off by a little butoverall it is a nice detector. So far, with it I have found an 1854 largecent, an 1897 barber dime (in great shape), a 38th infantry civil warbutton, a revolutionary war artillary button, an 1866 shield nickel, an1867 shield nickel, an 1868 indian cent, an 1886 indian cent, an 1890indian cent, an 1893 indian cent, (2) 1907 indian cents, an 1894 V Nickel,a 1920-D Mercury Dime, a 1962 dime, many wheat cents, musket balls,several'good for tokens', 14 rings, several bracelets and several thousand cladand common coins. This has been over 5 years of searching with thisdetector. The results that I have had with this detector have been betterthan the results I have had with more expensive machines. If you want agreat machine to start out detecting, this one is a good choice.Overall Rating

Nice features but lacking some in performance...
I bought mine some years back for about $100 when Radio-Shack was closingthem out.I was excited about getting a new machine with so many features for solittle coin!
Quickly found some shortcomings that prompted me to sell:
Depth - Mediocre, used it side-by-side with an old Garrett Freedom Ace Plus(not a depth demon by any stretch) in the bark-chips... the FA+, an averageat best depth machine, hit harder on every target.
Missed alot of test-plot targets that most of my other 11 machines hit justfine.
Target Separation: Poor. Testing with a nickel among nails and adime/pulltabs showed inferior target separation to pretty much every othermachine I tested it against... The Garretts beat it in aluminum junk and myTesoros smoked it in iron.
This was the main reason I decided not to keep it. I can live with averagedepth, but I GOTS to have decent target separation. I don't want to beusing a machine and worrying about what I've left behind! (When I testedthe 3300 for target separation against other machines, I compared themachines with similar-sized coils).
Also, I found the TID numbers to bounce around too much... difficult to geta solid lock-in on targets. Felt like I was wasting alot of time onthis.
Good-looking machine, decent balance/ergonomics, just not for me.
