Another option will be the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. You can go to Hobby Lobby website and use their 40% coupon at the nearest store and get one for around $75. Great detector for the money.

I was thinking about a traker iv but I'm not sure what's the depth range on it? I really want the bounty hunter silver or tracker iv but I not sure keep in mind that I already own a bounty hunter junior :)

I use the quick draw ll it's great machine and a coin magnet. Dug depths at 9 inches with a strong signal. Easy to operate and learn.

I've used both. But my son has the tracker IV and does good. I would go with the tracker IV it has pretty good depth. And dependable durable machine. Good luck H.H.

GOD BLESS!!!!

I think you made a good choice! I had a BH IV for a long time, and found tons of coins and some gold jewelry. For the money, a very good detector! :icon_thumleft:

That's very good to know! I now know not to give up on finding the gold! Do you know how far the tracker iv can detect up to?

A lot depends on ground conditions, mineralization, wet or dry, how long the item has been buried, etc. I could get dimes at six inches if conditions were good, and it's a nickel-magnet! If you're fairly new to detecting, you'll soon find that most coins and jewelry items are in the top four inches of soil, unless you're searching a very old area or looking for old relics. For the average detectorist, depth is a bit overrated. But be prepared, it will also find EVERY pull-tab in the surrounding counties! But that's not a bad thing, as it will also find every gold ring you get the coil over. I liked it well enough, I bought one for my mother.

That's exactly where I have found most of mine, also. Soccer fields are a great place, too. Bounty Hunter makes a little 4" coil that is fantastic in trashy parks. Radio Shack used to sell it because their detectors were BH clones. Anything that fits a First Texas Instruments tracker-clone should have the same configuration.

I've used several different kinds. Now I use a Garrett Pro, kinda pricey but the best I've seen. I think most any would work if it has decent range. But I would recommend the Garrett if you can swing the cost. It'll last a long time and works better than any hand-held pinpointer out there. Beware, you will become totally dependent on a pinpointer. I literally get the shakes when I find myself without mine because I forgot it at home, or I didn't bring an extra battery.

That's what I did, and still do with my others. No point in losing a chance at a piece of gold. But you WILL dig a LOT of tabs and garbage! The BH will still show approximately what range your signal is, so you can decide accordingly.

I'd go for the Quick Draw II, for the money, you can't beat it.
