Beginners dectector
December 01, 2011
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
May 30, 2011
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
May 04, 2011
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.

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.

Excellent Tool! A Real Gem!
December 14, 2010
I got my Tracker IV last week, and I love it! Already found the corpse of a
Civil War soldier, complete with rifle and bayonet. I've found several
coins from the Revolution, and even some WWII daggers. Very easy to use and
understand. The two-tone mode is excellent. Go get one today!
