I'm convinced pound for pound dollar for dollar the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV is king

I went out today to a local park I frequent and have hit pretty hard. I've taken whites machines there. To name a few the Dfx and the M6 . Now both are higher dollar machines than the bounty hunter Tracker IV and are pretty capable when it comes to coins and jewelry. Now hear comes the funny part a 100.00 dollar detector the Tracker IV out performed them in the coin category and in the jewelry category equalled the Dfx . I've also used several mine labs there and a Garrett ace 250 and none can consistently perform as well as the little bounty hunter Tracker IV.
Today alone I hit around 16 quarters some dimes and a nickel total of 5 dollars. I've yet to use a machine that hits quarters like this beast. Not to mention rings . So far I've got 1 gold ring and 2 silver and over 7 more fake rings and lots of misc charms etc. When bounty hunter designed this machine they must of had a brilliant man behind the making of this monster.
today I found another ring fake but a ring still and a little hair broche and funky key. Any body looking for a first detector out there look no further. good luck and happy hunting to all

You're making me want to head to Hobby Lobby and snag one for $62 with that 40% off coupon. I could play with it until I decide which detector I want to buy.

Trust me it will be the best buy on a detector you ever make period. Mine paid for itself already and then some. With one of these you don't even really need another detector .
Trust me.

The Tracker is a real coin monster. Best ive used and trust me ive used a few. It kicks azz on jewlry to. Heck i usually use it more than my other machines . For its wait price simplicity performance and value you cant beat it. Just get yourself a good set of 9 volt rechargables because alkalines are expensive. Never used a 505 reviews seem ok. Had one similir to a time ranger before that was pretty good. Id say the 505 should be pretty good. Happy hunting to all and good luck

Wow, thanks for the great review! My 10 year old niece was having fun helping me search with my Ace - maybe this would be a good gift for her! Still have some Christmas money left to spend on her and was stuck on what to get with it- was going to go the gift card route. Have to call and see if the nearest HL has one in stock before I make the 40 minute drive. Thanks again for the tip!

LOL. I don't think I'd still be detecting if I would have started with a Bounty Hunter.

Trackerman... I ain't putting the BH-IV down, but before you go saying its the best out there, you need to do a true head-to-head comparison. Take a couple of detectors and some golf tees out, find something deep with one detector, mark it with the tee and see if the other detector can also identify the same target without fiddling with settings and sensitivity. See which is better on the ID with these deeper targets, then tell us your thoughts. Just remember, the coil has got to swing over it before it can find it. Just because the BH went over it, doesn't mean your other detectors did. The BH is a fine detector for the money I'm sure, but I think if you want deeper, you're going to have to pay to play.

Nobody knows what the best detector is. Unless they owned and used everyone in every soil condition

Just google Hobby Lobby coupons. Look for a 40% off. Use the number on the coupon when you check out.
Should come out to around $65.00 free shipping.

Well for the money its a fine detector and i own some pretty good machines and can tell you ive tried um at the beach and at parks and this one consistantly out performed them in coins and equalled manny higher dollar machines. like the whites dfx wich i do own by the way and is a pretty good detector but costs 9 times more. Not to mention the Minelab quattro and the whites m6. If you guys want to go and get teknical. Now i was meerley passing on some info to those looking for a first machine or new one. Thats all some have taken advantage of the info and some argue and sees to believe.

I have a BH Pioneer 202. It seems to locate items well, but the depth indicator isn't so great.


Disclosure: I'm such a newb at this that I may not be using the machine to its fullest.

Manny machines have the depth ids slightly off . I like to measure the target when dug and get an average for each machine. The Tracker is about 4 to 5 inches wich isnt bad for the price of the machine. Now are there deeper detectors out there sure. But they will cost you 5 times more at least

Happy Hunting (VTX )You'll find some pretty interesting stuff with the Tracker IV. Anything from lighters to whistles you name it . I also like the tracker because its light and handles a fast sweep speed. Some of the higher dollar machines are heavy on the arm after a while.
