Verification Notes
Bounty Hunter metal detectors are manufactured in El Paso, Texas. Part of First Texas Products, which has manufactured metal detectors in Texas since the 1980s. Made in USA labeling on products. claim-holds: detecting.com redirects to the First Texas Products store (Bounty Hunter collection); the brand's own spec tables list Country of Origin: USA for Tracker IV, Land Ranger Pro and Sharp Shooter II. Live Amazon listings for our ASINs also carry 'Made in USA' in titles/bullets. Flag was a crawl miss on the redirect target. Name drift noted: B00123OUMI live title is 'Discovery 3300' (ours: Gold Digger) and B0002J1LNO live title is 'Gold Digger Kids' (ours: Land Ranger Pro) - origin is fine, names need a live-title rename pass. https://firsttexasproducts.com/collections/bounty-hunter-metal-detectors/products/tk4 "Manufacturer : First Texas Products, LLC Brand Name : Bounty Hunter Country of Origin : USA"

Owned by First Texas since 1999
Bounty Hunter was founded in 1973. First Texas Products bought the brand in 1999 and builds the detectors in El Paso, where it calls itself "an American technology manufacturer headquartered in El Paso, Texas," at 1120 Alza Drive. First Texas also owns the Fisher and Teknetics detector brands and runs an electronics arm, First Texas Electronics, that does circuit board and electromechanical assembly.
What the spec tables say
Each Bounty Hunter page we checked on the First Texas store lists "Country of Origin : USA." That includes the Tracker IV, Gold Digger, Land Ranger Pro, Quick Silver, Sharp Shooter II and Lone Star, and the Tracker IV page says it is made in the USA.
Two caveats. The Bounty Hunter collection page uses the looser phrase "designed in the USA," and First Texas does not say where parts such as chips or search coils come from. The finished detectors are labeled US origin, but the parts list is not published.
