The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Metal Detector May Be King of the Hill
The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector is an impressive piece of gear and includes many of the features that treasure-hunters are looking for in a reasonably priced unit. The Tracker IV units is priced at an entry-level position, but packs in all of the essential features you’ll need to enjoy hunting for buried treasure.
It comes equipped with an 8-inch Bounty D-Tech search coil, which is waterproof as well. This allows you to search in shallow water and find items that others may miss. The coil is also removable and can be changed to other specialty coils for specific metals and terrain. For example you might want to search an area know to have a lot of buried debris. Using a smaller coil in this location would allow you to narrow your search to a smaller sweep area and find objects in between the trash that a detector with a larger coil would miss. There are also coils available that are tuned for specific metals like gold and if you are looking for these items, these specialty coils can help you in your search.
Another thing the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector handles very well is sensitivity. One of the most frustrating and time wasting issues with any metal detector is false detections of trash. If the detector can’t discern between good and bad objects, you can spend a lot of your time digging. This unit gives the user a lot of control over how targets are detected and which type of object triggers a tone. It has a general mode called “all-metals” that will alert you to a hit on anything metallic. This will generate a lot of false positive results for trash, but assures you that you know about anything buried near you with a metal content. The Tracker IV also includes a full discrimination mode that will reject most trash and iron and will help you weed though the objects you encounter. The last mode provides various tones for the different metal types it detects. This mode is the most discreet and with a little practice you can easily tell the difference between something you care about and trash.
The Tracker IV is also a very light detector and can be swung for hours without fatigue. It includes a sensitivity meter that is used in conjunction with the sensitivity controls to give you a very clear picture of an objects composition and possible depth. Considering all you get for the modest entry-level price, the Tracker IV is a great value in metal detectors.
