Bounty Hunter® Tracker IV™ Metal Detector

[DeepThought]

i just buried a nickel and a quarter separately at about 4-5". In summary, only the "all metal" position really detected it. Tony did not. This is not a deep machine (and I don't expect it to be, at that price point)

The Bounty Hunter Tracker 4 is a great detecter.I have found 13 pennies and 2 quarters in 5 days!

My first detector was a Tracker IV....found TONS of stuff with it....easy to learn, and a lot of fun to use....found a lot of coins, and relics with this machine. (I've still got it as a back up, but I need a new lower shaft for it) but plan on keeping it....

There have been alot of people that have found alot of good things with the Tracker IV! It's not the fastest, or deepest out there, but it gets the job done. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

I got a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV for christmas and am new to detecting i went out today and had my sensitivity up the whole way, got a lot of false signals once i put the sensitivity to halfway i started to find things. I also believe i changed the mode from "all metal" to "ton". Finding junk is alot of fun (this is my first time ever detecting) maybe thats why but i was wondering what the best setup to have on it to get more coins. I would get the fuzzy beeps and usually those were aluminum cans that got burnt in my fire pit. I would get some solid decently high pitched beeps and pulled up some nails and some other objects that are interesting but i dont know what they are. So my main question is - What is the best setup to have the bounty hunter tracker iv in?

Hello everyone! I just saw people in the park metal detecting after there had been this major event. I'm sitting there thinking, Yeah duh! great idea! So I started researching the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector, and can get one at the hobby lobby yes and can use a coupon on it yes but I am going to wait for a 50% coupon should come up soon. Anyway my question is this: it says that it is fully submersible so does this mean it can also be use in like a river bed looking for gold? Also have interest in gold panning just moved to Oregon and wondered if anyone has used the Tracker for this?

It means the coil is waterproof, the controls are not waterproof.

The tracker would be useless for gold nugget hunting, it is a very basic detector, what we call entry level or starter detector, and it is on the low end of entry level.

Gold nugget hunting requires a far better detector, most gold nuggets are tiny and the Tracker IV will never see them. If your going to hunt gold nuggets, you need a detector designed for nugget hunting other wise it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack or shoveling snow with a rake...[emoji1]

Thank you Treasure_Hunter, I figured it was only the coil not the whole machine hahaha as I wont be doing any diving. Anyways would be at beginner level i should mostly be on dry land. Good to know the info on this.
