My back yard had become a testing zone for new Tracker IV and I was digging everything that made a sound. I found lots of things including my first coin which was a Wheat Penny. I was amazed and hooked!
All metal mode – Easy enough! All types of metal will be found using this mode.
Tone ID – In this mode of operation the tones or sounds generated by the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV will identify the buried target!
Discrimination Made – This mode of operation will allow you to ignore junk but still find the treasure.
It takes two nine volt batteries to operate this unit and they will last quite a long time. I found over 100 dollars in change in a little over a month with my Tracker IV. I also found one ring and a lady’s diamond watch. The only problem I had with it was at the beach. It did not like to get wet. If saltwater got on the coil it would give me false signals but that’s ok it works fine in the wet and dry sand at the beach.
