[@BrianClunie]

Great demonstration, and tips thank you!

[@AmericanDetection]

Thanks for the good word Brian!

[@alanwoodings7519]

I have just started mettle Detecting and I have really learnt a lot of your videos they are excellent and it was a big help to me thank you top marks g

[@felinebline7154]

The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV is the best. Incredible. Super video Thanks

[@AmericanDetection]

Thank you! Yes, the Tracker IV is a great detector!

[@jerrysimeone]

Thanks for all your vids. I called the MD company in Texas and they said the prospector bounty hunter metal detector was the same as the tracker 4. I will be using your tips and tricks. I haven’t been using it right/ thanks again.

[@jeremysuarez7609]

Just bought one and your instructions are so clear, thanks for making my experience better

[@silversurfer3202]

Just got mine from Amazon...Super happy with the Tracker 4!!!!!!!!! Your video is Spot on and great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quality stuff for the price!

[@JpBillardreviews]

Hi I just ordered the fast tracker and the iv bounty hunter I cant wait to try them out. I bought them because of your videos on them. Thanks for all the information about these machines.

[@AmericanDetection]

Great news! You're going to love those u tis. Dollar for dollar best affordable metal detectors on the market.

[@diggingarizona8592]

My first detector was a tracker 4. I found it at the dump with the case broke open. I rigged it back into life I found all my best finds with it. I upgraded to a BH Platinum. Still miss that tracker IV.

[@AmericanDetection]

Very underrated machine in my opinion. Thanks for the great comment =)

[@diggingarizona8592]

great machine. Very good at discing out trash. Im sorry i tossed it out.

[@bleirdo_dude]

I found mine like new in the garbage. People sold house, and moved (I suspect it was bought to find property markers?). I put a volume control on it, and will use it for certain situations, or as a loaner. Not a bad machine, but the meter is useless (if it measured target conductivity instead of what I can get from the audio it would be better), and the housing could be made smaller without it.

[@kevinmccloskey4854]

Awesome! Thank you. I just got this detector and had no instructions. Great tips for all situations. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@AmericanDetection]

You will enjoy the Tracker IV Kevin. I've done quite a few videos on this unit so if you have any questions you might find the answers there. Or just leave any question in a comment and I'll try to answer it if i know the answer.

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

By far the best demonstration

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Rob- So glad you found the video helpful!

[@535tony]

Funny, the first time I took my T4 hunting on wet salt water beach sand I found a nice 14K gold bracelet. I used all metal mode and reduced sensitivity. I guess the bracelet was so big it still showed up. The T4 is a great detector once you learn how to use it. I once found a gold wedding band in two feet of fresh water for an elderly Lady who lost it in the water while playing with her Grand Children. Great detector.

[@misarse]

Great video! Lots of info packed in.

[@AmericanDetection]

Glad it was helpful!

[@microzap]

Nice video, I just purchased my Tracker 4. I have many acres on my farm I've wanted to search for years. My house sits where there was a school many years ago, and two old foundations where a gas station and a general store sat many years ago.

[@AmericanDetection]

Good luck!

[@emjay9323]

Thanks so much for your videos. I am so appreciative as I am new to this. You have explained everything very well and answered all of the questions I had!

[@l.c.cooper9714]

Absolutely brilliant videos, Russ! I’ve had my BHT4 a couple of years, but never had the “feel” for accuracy. Luck and perseverance drove my targeting successes. Other videos were OK, but lacked the ability to get the most out of the detector. Yours are spot on. I’m digging up much less iron and pull tabs now. Thanks!

[@Garedot]

This explanation is great. Recovery speed is amazing on this BH Track IV detector. I have this detector and test it out against my X-Terra 705, Simplex and my old Fisher F5. This BH Track IV is better than ACE 250 and Fisher F5 in recovery speed. I noticed that Disc and All Metal modes have faster Recovery Speed than Tone mode.

[@paulbrodie331]

I wish I would have looked for this video a few years ago! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@thegitfiddlekid66]

Very grateful for this video. Can't wait to try this!

[@DeteccionPuraVida]

Hi, nice tips. Thanks so much for showing how this Tracker IV works. I bought one 3 months ago and I am still trying to learn how it works and what´s the best configuration for coins and relics. I´ve tried it in parks and at the beach and found many coins as well as trash. I just learned the coil is waterproof but even know that I wasn´t brave enough to try it into the water.

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Federico- No worries the coil is completely waterproof. Fully encased inside epoxy no way water is going to get to it. Plus the Tracker IV has a 5 year warranty. Good luck!

[@DeteccionPuraVida]

Awesome I will try new places then, thanks so much for the tip.

[@DeteccionPuraVida]

@Tom Tom thanks Tom. Next time I go to the beach or near a lake I will follow your advise. Much appreciated.

[@DeteccionPuraVida]

@Tom Tom At the beach I won't however in the parks I turn to switch in different modes before I decide whether I dig or not because 90% is trash.

[@AW1Lucky]

Great tips RB! I notice that gold targets in Tone mode give the same low tone as junk metals. Still, finding coins and having a ball. Thanks for your advice.

[@AmericanDetection]

Yes you are correct. Gold will give you the low tone. Thanks for the info and for the kind words my friend. Happy hunting!!!

[@JonnyRay82]

Great advice!!

[@AmericanDetection]

Glad it was helpful!

[@girijaa1]

Can you place a link in your description for the 4" coil and the 11" DD Coil. Thanks All I can find is a Fischer 11" DD Coil.

[@fluharty123]

No more pop tabs for this newbee! Thanks

[@silverlover5817]

Thanks for this video. Can it detect silver inside rocks? I'm planning to go to rocky areas to look for some rocks and I was thinking maybe I can find some rocks with metals inside them (native metals).

[@brucewalker1908]

What happens if you sweep slower then stopover the Target ??????????

[@chuckswearengin6300]

How well does this work at the beach on the dry sand? I’m new at this and don’t want to spend to much money on a metal detector and this one seems to have great reviews. Great video and very helpful. Thanks kind sir .

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Chuck_ I'm sorry about the delayed response. The Tracker IV will work very well in the dry sand. If you get into the wet sand and it starts to act erratically, try reducing the sensitivity some.

[@shaunfisherman566]

Great video Russ thanks

[@buddafingaz9403]

Very interesting, im new at Metal Detecting. Your wicked appreciated. Just landed one of these tracker IV metal detectors, & looking to learn to be better at it. We tried it on the shore, at the beach for our first time out, purchased a water proof pinpointer, as well, & we kept finding signals in all metal mode, with sensitivity all the way up, & discrimination all the way down, as the instructions say, but everytime we would dig where we narrowed it down to, we then would break out the Pinpointer, & then we would get nothing, even though we were gettn strong signals though?? And we also checked the pinpointer, as well, prior to using it in the target spot, with our gold jewelry, or silver jewelry, & also with regular metal, & iy worked fine, we did notice that we had to keep the Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV out of the way though, cause it would set off the metal detector, or the pinpointer would set off the detector... Lol.. bahahahaha.. But, besides that, it's progress, not perfection... Lol 👍🙏💯🔥💪

[@bleirdo_dude]

Wet salt is a conducter creating false signals. Though not an ideal machine for such enviroments some reduction in sensitivity, and a bump in discrimination will tame it some.

[@hwkn50]

Lost keys in snow will it detect thru snow?.

[@AmericanDetection]

Yes.

[@JusZard]

I just bought one today

[@AmericanDetection]

Congrats!

[@mikeroberts2209]

Great job I learned a lot thanks

[@jamesbaglole8869]

The bounty hunter 4 is awesome for beach detecting

[@Fisherman-hs1nt]

Good tips5 but that large target could be a large cache of coins barried years ago.. Lots of money passed up.. 🤔 I would have to give it a quick check

[@Maddelashyam2114]

Hello sir, is it detect gold also

[@AmericanDetection]

Yes it will detect gold.

[@MikmakiLithics]

That's cool I never knew the coil is waterproof

[@AmericanDetection]

Yes sir.

[@shaboinkas4736]

I bought only to look for an old gold ring i had lost. How do I set up to only pick up gold?

[@Greg-tj8rg]

Great video, really accelerated my beginners learning curve a bit. Would the 4" sniper coil be good upgrade for hunting jewelry at a salt water beach? Or should I stick to stock. I live close to a beach on the west coast, I imagine I may be able to get lucky and find a gold or silver jewelry (certainly a lot of change and trash tho!). I'm going through and watching your old videos at the beach but if you have any new advice for salt water beach detecting with this please take the time to share or make a video on it.

[@johnlambert8929]

can you change and buy different coils for the tracker IV ?

[@tuckera1879]

Yes

[@VILLAGE.MEGASTAR]

treasure hanting me line feet kam karega.

[@Inverse69]

Curious as to why I am picking up old rusted nails and metal beer caps when using tone and a discrimination at 12-1 o’clock. Also, does it matter if I set tone and discrimination before setting the sensitivity?

[@AmericanDetection]

Old rusty iron will trick almost every detector. You have to use your ears and listen to the difference in tone from a rusty nail trying to act like a coin vs. a real coin. You'll hear the rusty nail signal is kind of clipped, you may also hear a little break in front of the beep or just after the beep. It does not matter if you set tone and disc before sensitivity. You can adjust those settings in any order you wish. Good luck!

[@tippmanch]

Can you run the tracker 4 in tone mode with low discrimination. If so what difference does it make running it with low discrimination in tone mode.

[@nighthawk0077]

Hi will it find small gold nuggets? Or medium sized ones?

[@AmericanDetection]

I’d got with the bounty hunter time ranger pro as it is a 19kHz unit which is more sensitive to these kinds of targets.

[@mp1757ify]

Great video....

[@MrTJ1695]

I just did a depth test with mine and it seems like it only picks up gold at around 3-4 inches with the standard coil and new batteries...

[@AmericanDetection]

Gold necklaces are hard to hit with any metal detector, there just isn't a lot of metal in a necklace. So 3 inches is pretty good. You'll do better on gold rings, as there is more metal.

[@asialee2318]

I love this detector it's my favorite by far

[@AmericanDetection]

He’ll Asia- it is a very understated detector for sure. Best value for the dollar.

[@rebelson5796]

Asia Lee I like my tracker 4 better than my dad’s AT Max

[@stellarsideconference2973]

How deep can the tracker 4 detect?

[@syzygysyzygy8332]

02:40 I love the optimism of showing only 90% silver coins!

[@darrellgoodman9585]

What's your opinion on the Bounty Hunter Pioneer 505 .

[@matthewwilliams9288]

Maybe I'm just confused but if you're using all metals mode what does it matter where the disc/notch lever is?

[@jaxmartinez1521]

Hi Russ, I just bought the bounty hunter prospector. Been searching for videos about this unit but could not find any. I have heard that its basically the same as the tracker 4, is that so?? Does it have the same performance as the 4? Any information would be so appreciated. Thanks so much..

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Jax- Yes, the Prospector is the very same as the Tracker IV. Many times big box stores like (Wal-Mart, Dicks, Academy) want product nobody else has (no competition) . So manufacturers will make the same product but with a different name or in some cases with minor difference. However, in the case of the Prospector and the Tracker IV, the only difference is the name and logo. I hope this helps.

[@jaxmartinez1521]

@@AmericanDetection Thank you so very much for shedding some light on my query. I was at my local Big 5 store today and they have several prospectors and lone star pro's ended up buying one of each for myself and my son. Been watching your videos and we just got so inspired and have decided to get into the hobby. Thanks again a million and please keep up the great vids specially the tutorials. Be safe

[@michaeld6684]

Link for sniper coil? :)

[@allenreed1208]

Can this track titanium and or platinum? Lol lost a her loom ring last summer working on my car and some how decided to throw it in to some nadty ass weeds and none since.

[@alanmcdonald5437]

I am interested in buying this product. I have a different goal for it though. I need to find buried ferrous metal inside tree trunks before I cut into them. People use to stake newly planted trees with angle iron bars and just leave them. Years later, the iron is deep inside the tree but still hard and sound. When you cut through the tree and hit the metal, its the end of the cutting. Will this detector find Iron or any other metal buried deep in the trunk of a tree?

[@marksmanaz]

I'm interested in this also. I need to find buried rebar on my land.

[@alanmcdonald5437]

Thanks but I still don't know if it will go deep into a live tree and find metal. I don't think this unit is any more than an entry level detector.

[@1950songs]

How much to buy the bounty Hunter tracker 4 and what tools do I need?

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Patrick you can check the price of the Tracker 4 by clicking the link in my description. I would suggest a strong digging trowel and perhaps a pouch to keep finds. Good luck!

[@kudzanaimuyaka8586]

Can l use it for gold mining

[@AmericanDetection]

Probably not the best choice. You want a detector that has manual ground balance. O would suggest the TIME RANGER PRO with a small 5" coil for gold prospecting.

[@joracer1]

Once you learn the tracker 4, it's a good detector, it's under rated.....

[@noelbmwtech]

I discovered it doesn't work well in salt water the hard way, I dug some very deep holes at the beach!! Now I know better....

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Noel- Most detectors do not work very well in saltwater. It teaks very specialized metal detectors that are unfortunately very expensive too. The best way to hunt in the saltwater with this detector is reduce the sensitivity but it will still be difficult to operate in the saltwater.

[@noelbmwtech]

Even if you are not in the water if your hole fills with water it give a nice beep, if you don't know about the salt water you just keep digging.

[@AmericanDetection]

Yup it doesn't even have to be water...it can just be damp saltwater sand too.

[@ronacord9056]

I learned that the hard way to. I bought a detector mainly to use at Myrtle Beach. Paid 1,000.00 for a Whites XLT. It was pretty much useless. I think the Garrett AT series are supposed to be pretty good for that.

[@hugojr5290]

This this stock good for finding small pieces of gold or no ???

[@AmericanDetection]

Hello Hugo- I'd go with something that has manual ground balance to find small gold nuggets. Rings and such are easily found with this unit though.

Hello- I can be reached at [e-mail].

[@ericclaeyborn8359]

I looks like the 11" DD Coil w/ the Part No. 11Coil-F4 is made by Fisher. I just want to confirm it, that that coil will still fit and work with the Tracker IV, and that it's not a mistake. Will it still work?

[@bleirdo_dude]

No. You would have to modify the plug, but that's if the coil's frequency rating is the same, and know which wires are tx/rx ground etc...

[@SAGAR-do3ck]

How Depth this detactor

[@whisperaude8057]

Will it detect gold.

[@briancooney9952]

Just unboxed mine today. Stuck the batteries in it, took it out in the back yard to play around. I initially set it for all metals. Out at the edge of the woods i got a hit, so i X-ed across it a few times, then switched to tone mode and still got the hit in the same spot. Dug down a little bit and then i was getting a low tone on the pile of dirt i just dug up. So i sifted through and picked up............ An old rusty nail. I thought this thing wasn't supposed to pick up iron when its in tone mode. Not only was it picking up the iron, it was giving me a low tone on it. pretty frustrating. I guess ya get what ya pay for.

[@AmericanDetection]

Brian Cooney - I understand you are a new user and may not understand that rusty nails will sound like a good target. This is true with all detectors, $1000.00 detectors will sometimes be fooled by rusty nails. It will take time and experience to be able to a difference between a good target sound and a good sounding rusty nail and you’ll get better at it with experience....but you’ll never get 100%, even with the most expensive detector out there. You’ll learn this as you learn note about metal detecting.
