Examining the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV

The Bounty Hunter TK4 is one of the most popular metal detectors on the market because it is so affordable and easy to use. This model is a “turn on and go,” model which means it is so easy, you can simply turn on the machine and use it immediately. You won’t need to spend a lot of time reading a manual or watching a DVD to know how to use it. All you need to do is set the discrimination and sensitivity levels and you are ready to start treasure hunting. Often, it is sold for a little less than $100.

It features automatic ground balancing and only weighs 2.9 pounds. A lightweight machine is very important, as even three pounds can get heavy after several hours of use. Two knobs are all you need to use to change your discrimination and sensitivity levels. The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV also has three different modes – full discrimination, all metals or tone discrimination – so you will really hear a tone for what you are looking for. This is really important if you don’t want to keep digging up trash.

Tracker IV vs Bounty Hunter Quicksilver

The Bounty Hunter Quicksilver is another turn on and go metal detector. It only has a few settings that you need to change and you are ready to start searching. It only weighs 2.8 pounds and is designed for comfort. The display is easy to use with just a few buttons for you to learn. At a price of a little $100, it is one that you can use to learn and then upgrade later.

The Quicksilver does have a few negative things to consider. It cannot detect much deeper than four inches and doesn’t work well in soil that is highly mineralized. It also doesn’t have as many features as some of the other metal detectors on the market. The Quicksilver is marketed as a detector for beginners, but you will probably find out quickly that it doesn’t have all of the features you want.

The Garrett Ace 250 is an awesome metal detector. It has a 6.5” by 9” coil that is water proof and can be easily changed for different sizes. The control box has everything within easy reach of your fingers and the entire machine was designed with your comfort in mind. It has an external speaker or you can use headphones with it.   This unit usually sells for around $250 but the features it has are often only seen on metal detectors in a much higher range.

It has a huge LCD screen, three push pads and three adjustable pads. It is really easy to operate and has many controls that you may think you won’t need, but you will after you learn to operate the detector. This detector has a 12 notch discrimination so you can eliminate trash signals. It also has an all metal non-motion pinpoint ability so you can find the exact location of your treasure.

Tracker IV vs Fisher F2

Priced at around $200, the Fisher F2 metal detector is a model that is packed with features you will want in your metal detector. It comes with a standard 8” coil that is water proof so you can easily use this detector on the beach. You can also change the coil whenever you need.

One of the best features of the Fisher F2 is the huge LCD display that will show you what the object is and how deep you will have to dig to find it. All of the controls are touch pad, but they are easy to learn how to use. This is another option for anyone who wants a turn on and go metal detecting. This detector offers both visual and audio signals so you won’t miss anything you scan over. You can also pinpoint the exact location of your object, but the detector must be set in the discrimination mode.

Each of these metal detectors offers options that you will want in your new detector. For the price, the Fisher F2 and the Garrett Ace 250 will give you more features that you might find you need after you have hunted several times. The discrimination feature is very important to anyone who doesn’t want to spend his or her time digging trash at every tone.
