Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
No more digging for Fool's Gold, iron, or tin cans, the Bounty Hunter 4-inch search coil's smaller size helps the detector distinguish between real gold and metal debris for less heartache in the field. While a standard, 8-inch coil is great for finding large, deeply buried objects, this coil's narrower field of detection sends less data to the detector so you hit more pay dirt. Plus, the smaller coil handles better in tight corners and crevices--places that probably haven't been checked before. Completely waterproof, this Bounty Hunter works great near streams and ponds, too!
Product Description
While a standard coil is great for finding large objects that are deeply buried, the 4-inch coil has a narrower field of detection ¿ enabling your detector to separate objects more efficiently. The 4-inch coil's shallower detection area makes it ideal for prospecting in difficult, high metal areas since it allows you to more easily discriminate valuable objects from refuse. In addition to allowing the precise pinpointing of objects, a smaller coil lets you probe tight spots such as corners and crevices.

A Good Product,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bounty Hunter 4 inch Gold Nugget Search Coil (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this product about six months ago and have been perpetually using it since then! Even though my Bounty Hunter 4 detector came with a different search coil, I have been using this one instead. It really helps one to quickly narrow down (pinpoint) where the metal item is in the ground. With this coil, I have found items as far down as eight inches in the ground. Technically, it isn't supposed to be able to detect this far, but it does!
Simply stated, it's a good product! If you can, get it.

Be Careful of Compatibility Claims,
By

This review is from: Bounty Hunter 4 inch Gold Nugget Search Coil (Lawn & Patio)
The descriptions here state that this coil is compatible with "All models of Bounty Hunter Detectors." If you bought the awesome Gold Digger Metal Detector here on Amazon, then picked up this little nugget coil, you'll be disappointed to learn that the new little coil has a plug attachment, whereas the Gold Digger has a permanently wired large coil. In other words, you can't attach the nugget coil to that model of Bounty Hunter as claimed! We are the authors of the Prospector's Bible and run the Become a Prospector dot com site and review many detectors for our members, as well as the Gold Prospectors and Miners Assn (GPMAA dot org). To give a positive balance to this compatibility problem, the Gold Digger Detector itself, for between $60 and $80 here on Amazon, and eligible for Prime free shipping, is comparable to $1,000 plus detectors if your objective is gold placer, nugget or lode detecting. Both products are outstanding, we just wanted to give you a head's up that they don't work together! You'll need a more advanced (plug in) model of the Bounty Hunter, such as the Bounty Hunter TRACKERIV TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector if you want to use the small nugget coil. However, to be very honest, and save you money, the large coil on the Gold Digger Detector is perfectly adequate for scanning both filtered rocks and below the surface for nuggets. The small head reviewed here is really for a narrow, shallow scan, and is most useful for scanning your filtered rocks before panning the finer dirt or sand. We put a coarse filter over a 5 gallon bucket, shovel the river bed dirt just above bedrock into the filter, toss the stones on the shore, and buzz over them with the detector to be sure we didn't miss a nugget before panning the dirt, or bringing the bucket back home or to base to put through the sluice. If you set your larger coil Gold Digger on object discrimination mode, it will work just as good as the nugget finder to scan your stones, yet with discrim off, read much deeper than the nugget coil to find deeper deposits. Works great with the tracker IV (5 stars), but not at all with the Gold Digger, so a warning three stars just to save Gold Digger buyers a return. If you want the very best anywhere for any and all gold prospecting applications, and one that WILL work with the little Nugget Coil for post-panning rock scanning, the one with the consistently highest performance in our tests, still under $200, and comparable to $1,500 models at Cabela's, is: Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II Metal Detector -- in fact, there is a "Cabela's Only" special make up privately branded of this exact model for three times the Amazon cost!

WOW! I am amazed with this coil!!,
By

This review is from: Bounty Hunter 4 inch Gold Nugget Search Coil (Lawn & Patio)
I am most interested in using my metal detector for hunting minerals that are conductive, like pyrite and galena. I bought a bounty hunter tracker 4, and was rather disappointed in the performance. For example, looking for pyrite, the specimens needed to be rather large - greater than one and a half inches (along one dimension - they could be thinner, though) to be detected. However, I then put this coil on the detector and WHOA! I could then find cubes that were as small as 1/2"!! That's amazing detectability from such an inexpensive instrument.
For those of you unfamiliar, minerals are inherently higher resistance than plain metals, and are therefore harder to detect - you need a larger sample to create a response. Since the coil is smaller, its depth range is much less, so this is mainly for finding smaller items near the surface. With this coil I can find some rather small metal objects too! Objects like a sewing needle. So, yes, this thing can help you find a needle in a hay stack. Just make sure you spread the hay out thin. ;-)
