Bounty Hunter Tracker IV
Surprisingly great little detector
digitaltim in ct, usa -
I keep one of these for friends to borrow.
I have to say the darn thing does a great job. Performs as well as much more expensive detectors.
Its light and fairly simple to use.
You can find them on ebay for less than $100.
One trick that works well: drop a nickel on the ground and turn the discrimination knob just till you hear the nickel. That'll knock out most of the junk.
It does get tricked by iron occassionally, but most detectors do........if that's an issue: spend 6 - 10X more and get a Minelab.

Great Value
Gino in Columbus, OH -Bought this for my 7yr old son. So I had to learn how to use it before I could transfer the knowledge to him. I was very impress after reading the manual and testing the unit with my own coins. I did also use some european coins to hear the difference in tones compared to our clad. After that I went to my friends small yard as his home was built on 1920.
In less than 1/2hr I had found 4 pennies oldest 1959 a small top and a turtle pendant. Deepest around 6 inches. Did find lot's of old bottle caps too. I was very impress. Trianed my some on my back yard throwing change on the lawn for him to find. He did get them all. So next will be the playground area for him.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV
eric in Central Florida -Don't be fooled by the price, I own a few detectors and most of the time prefer the tracker IV because of it's light weight and tone discrimination. It may not offer all the bells, whistles and prestige of a Garrett or White's but the bottom line is I dig up less pull tabs and bottle caps with my tracker and can swing it for hours because it is so light.
The tone ID is awesome ....nice and simple for the average guy. The meter helps me hone right in on targets and the three position toggle along with sensitivity and discrimination controls gives me all I need to have a great day.
As a matter of fact I just bought a new Fisher 1225x ( another simple yet extremely powerful machine ) with nothing but three months worth of clad finds from my tracker IV....you do the math....over $100.00 per month in clad crusing central florida's busiest beaches. I have nothing bad to say about the tracker except that I wish I had found it sooner.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV
Brian Gilbert in USA -Though most experienced detector users tend to disregard Bounty Hunter detectors as toys, I found the Tracker IV to be a GREAT first detector,
BUT... you absolutely MUST get the 4" coil to go along with it unless you
detect at the beach.
Pinpointing in trashy parks is difficult with any of the 8" coils I've used, but it's much, MUCH easier with a 4" coil. Actual depth was about five, maybe six inches with an 8" coil, and about four to four and a half inches with a 4" coil.
