Bounty Hunter Tracker IV?

[JmCraz8]

I'm excited to get into the hobby and was wondering if the tracker IV is worth it or should I just save for the garret ace 250. Is the tracker IV good at finding relics and coins?

Tracker 4 is no joke. My son outhunts me with it half the time.
250 goes deeper tho.
For 90 dollars from amazon its a tough choice.

[JmCraz8]

Is their deeper coils that I could get for the track IV, and is it waterproof too?

[MrPoptop]

There is a 10" coil, it is crap on tracker 4, theres also a double d frome fisher that works havent tried it... too costly...

[MrPoptop]

My best advice is to get ace 250, or stay with stock Tracker 4 untill you can afford a Garrett AT Pro.
It is uncomfortable but performs verywell. Best for the money no "optional" gear needed.
Will cost round 500 dollars tho.

The Tracker IV is actually an excellent machine for the money. I got mine for $88 from Amazon and it has features that $250 detectors don't have. The big downside to the tracker IV is lack of depth. It is a few inches shallower than other machines in the $250 dollar range. But it is very easy to use and has great discrimination and recovery speed. If it had just a little more depth it would be my main machine. Don't get me wrong, it's not a toy. It is a serious detector. But the depth is not as good as a more expensive machine.

If money is an issue, go with the Tracker IV. If you can afford to spend at least $250, go with a Tesorro Silver uMax or an Ace 250. All of these are starter machines though so there is also the option of starting with a Tracker IV and then saving the extra $150 toward a future machine in the $400+ range that you will be likely to keep longer term.

It's a tough decision. But the Tracker IV is well worth what you pay for it. Good luck with your decision.

That is an EXCELLENT deal. I'd buy 5 of them at that price.

[ivan salis]

at 100 bucks or under hard to say no to that deal.

I have both and to my surprise the BH is an awesome little machine, but on the other hand the Ace 250 is far above the BH... But I would agree I would save for the Garrett AT PRO for sure...

[Papa Bear]

I have a BH T4. Other than depth, as mentioned before, it rocks as a unit. I have had no issues. If the depth could be deeper it would out perform many more expensive makes.
