Detect treasure in extreme ground conditions--from saltwater beaches to highly mineralized inland sites--with the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector. The rugged Tracker IV is so efficient and user-friendly that it maintains sensitivity without requiring adjustments to the circuitry.
3 Detecting Modes
The Tracker IV--which runs on two 9-volt batteries--is designed for easy handling, with a lightweight, ergonomic build that's comfortable for hours on end. The detector boasts three modes controlled by a three-position toggle switch. Motion All-Metal mode offers a single tone that detects all types of metal. Discrimination mode, by contrast, automatically eliminates iron and other unwanted metals. And as the metal detecting coil nears a target, the Tracker IV's two-tone audio feedback aids in distinguishing between valuables and undesirable metals.
Detecting in Tough Conditions
Bounty Hunter equips all its metal detectors with a preset ground balance that neutralizes the response to mineral content in the ground. As a result, the Tracker IV can distinguish between iron in the ground and valuable metals. The detector further distinguishes good finds from bad with a disc/notch control, which eliminates unwanted metals from detection; a sensitivity control that reduces electromagnetic interference; and a target indicator meter that provides a visual cue of a nearing target. The Tracker IV even searches deeper than many other detectors thanks to the 8-inch open coil design, which searches to 8 inches for coin-size objects and 3 feet for larger objects. Plus, the coil and stem are waterproof, so you can submerge them when searching for treasure in damp grass or shallow water.
Operation
The Tracker IV is ideal for coin shooting; relic, jewelry, and cache hunting; and locating lost property markers or household items. To ensure privacy, the detector comes equipped with a ¼-inch headphone jack compatible with most headphones. Other features include a low battery indicator, an adjustable-height design, a padded armrest, and a detector stand. The Tracker IV carries a five-year limited warranty.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV - No Experience Necessary,
By Mike Harshe (Manassas, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bounty Hunter TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)
I figured that any metal detector would find the '32 Chevy buried in my backyard, but I wanted to find coins, rings, and Civil War relics in my 5 acre woods. It took 5 minutes to assemble the Tracker IV and about 15 minutes to review the instruction manual. Round up a few coins, a gold ring, and some nails and run through the demonstration on page 5 of the manual. It will give you an idea of how different objects respond to the 3 detection modes.I borrowed my wife's headphones (highly recommended) and headed for the woods. Within minutes I found beer cans, shotgun shells, nails. The detector will pinpoint an object close enough that you can dig it up with a few scoops of a garden trowel. On my second attempt I found a man's silver ring. Tracker IV appears to be well constructed and a good value. I don't have any experience with other detectors, but I can't imagine that any are easier to use than this one. Tracker IV is a great choice for your kids to use, if they can get it away from you!

Fun and Easy to Use,
By "bytenplace" (Centennial, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bounty Hunter TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)
The Bounty Hunter was exactly what I was looking for. My 11 year old son and I wanted to expore metal detecting together. I didn't want to invest a large amount of money in something that was too high tech or that he would lose interest in. I didn't want to spend too little and get a cheap product. This item was priced right and so far has proven to be a quality item. It was easy to assemble (maybe 5 minutes), takes 2 standard 9 volt batteries and is lightweight enough for my 11 year old to handle with ease. The shaft adjusts in height so when I finally get my turn, I can adjust it to fit me. We are having a ball so far with it. We haven't found any high dollar finds yet, but the neighborhood kids have gone with us the last few days and made it a fun treasure hunt. In our search of a couple vacant lots, we have found 17 cents, lots of nails, an old bottle cap, a saw blade and other misc items. We plan on taking this into the mountains soon, as it is waterproof so you can look for gold in the rivers. We can't wait!

This review is from: Bounty Hunter TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector (Lawn & Patio)
When I started researching metal detectors before buying one for my husband, I was overwhelmed with all the reviews, ads, etc., I found on the internet. I printed out all the information that seemed to have a "voice of authority" behind it; it wasn't long before one brand/model seemed to take first place as the best choice for units under $300. Reviews from novices to experts concurred that the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV was a great buy as well as a great metal detector for novice to intermediate users. My husband is not someone who reads the instructions before using anything, but I showed him some of the printouts that warned against trying to use any metal detector without getting familiar with the instruction booklet first (because if you don't know what you're doing, you'll be frustrated and decide the detector doesn't work right). For once, he did spend time reading the instructions and then practicing with the detector as the directions advised. It wasn't long before he was out in the yard and up a mountain actually using his Bounty Hunter IV with success. I also bought him the Bounty Hunter earphones because I read that using earphones prolongs the battery life of the battery in the detector. Earphones also raise the user's chance of success by blocking noises that might cause some of the more subtle indicator sounds to be missed. We live in a windy, windy canyon, so the earphones were a must for blocking wind noise. So far my husband loves his Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, and the learning curve, according to him, was pretty short.
