The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Metal Detector is one the best selling metal detectors on the market. It detects all types of metal. You can even eliminate unwanted items, such as iron, from your search.


This is a great metal detector for novice
to intermediate users.


The Tracker IV features 3 operating modes.

* All-metals: Responds to any metals you sweep over.
* Full Discrimination: Rejects iron and other trash items.

The Tracker IV does not have the LCD that many of Bounty Hunter's other models have, featuring instead a large Sensitivity Meter.


There's a great feature called Ground Trac that automatically balances the machine to the soil conditions so it can distinguish between iron in the ground and valuable metals.

The search coil is fully submersible for underwater treasure hunting. You can look for items that may still be under water along the beach.

* 8" search coil allows greater depth detection and pinpointing
* lightweight, just 4.5 pounds
* quick to assemble
* easy-to-understand online tutorial and downloadable manual
* operates on two 9-volt alkaline batteries (not included)
