Minimal but effective
coopsie in sussex england -Found musket balls first time out, gold ring, but my best so far is a 1600s Charles 2nd two pence coin. I'm happy good on the beaches, good first detector but wanted upgrade pretty quickly.

Treasure hunter
Thomas in Berks Pa -I own a Tracker IV. I found the user manual easy to read/understand and the tips within very helpful.
This unit is very lite weight and have spent hours using the unit without exhausting my arm.
Headphones or earbuds help you determine the subtleties of the tones. The multiple setting toggle switch helps to cross examine a tone and determine trash from treasure.
There is a learning curve in distinguishing tones but the it is easy to get the hang of.
Discriminating helps find tons of penny, dimes, and quarters.
The manual clearly tells you if you set the machine to find Gold and nickel you WILL find tons of soda tabs, and it is true!
Using headphones preserves battery life (I'm still on my first set).
note mine did not include a 1/4 inch headphone jack adapter (find one at Radioshack)
Water proof search coil!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR A BEGINNER OR ENTHUSIAST
Many forums and sites with tips to lend advise for beginners!
I have found enough treasure the first 2 days of owning my Tracker IV to recover the cost of the unit, AND THEN SOME!

Beginners dectector
Jack in Central Florida -
Great for finding recently lost change around playgrounds. If you are wanting something to go deep and find older coins, skip this unit. I did a test after wondering why I was finding only modern coins at an old site and at best I was finding quarters at 4-5" max. It does work and finds things once you get use to it but mostly around parks and playgrounds where recently lost items are. If you are wanting more out of a detector, I would suggest spending more.

Lost my wedding ring - found it in 20 minutes
Dan Burroughs in Orlando, FL -I realized my wedding ring was missing yesterday. It comes off easily so I have a tendency to take it off whenever I am doing anything where it might fall off - but I could not find it in any of my usual places that I put it. I was absolutely sick with the thought that it was lost. The only thing I had done all day where it could possibly have come off without me noticing was pulling the hose around to add some water to the pull. I had crawled around on my hands and knees for 2 hours looking through all the grass to find it with no luck.
I went out and bought a Tracker IV - came home - put it together - ran through the tests in the book with coins and went out to look for it. I have never used a metal detector before in my life. At first I had a few hits - but not where I thought I could have lost it. Then I tried the discriminator settings. I tested it with a couple other rings to see that they made the lower tone beep (more of a brrrp sound). Went back out - found one spot with that tone. My wife bent down, dug around for about 20 seconds and said "Here it is!". I could not be more happier.
I have no idea how this product stacks up against other metal detectors - but I can say this: If you lost something important (and it is metal) go out and get yourself one of these. I found my ring and now I have a new hobby!

Great beginner detector
Treasure Tom in Michigan -This is my first detector, and I love how quickly its ease of use got me into the field. The auto ground balance takes the guess work out of accounting for ground mineralization, and the instruction manual does a great job of explaining the machine.
I was a little leery of its pinpointing ability after reading some reviews on other sites, but if you slow down your swings and use the "cross" method after getting a beep, the Tracker iv really does quite well putting you right on top of the target. I bought mine from Meijer.com for $97 and find it to be well worth the investment.

Copper hunter
john in MI -This is a very good value, if you are not too dumb or lazy to use it.
The sensitivity and discrimination work very well, be sure to try it on something similar to what you hope to find so you know what beeps it will make. I have found hundreds of pounds of copper on mine rock piles with mine. Just ignore that little needle that jumps back and forth.
