Im convinced pound for pound dollar for dollar the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV is king

[VTX]

Is it the same machine that people are asking $150 to $400 for on eBay right now? Gander Mountain wants $129

127.00 was around what i saw maybe they went up in price a bit. Or maybee i just gave the little bugger to much mad praise . Hear hear......

If we are still talking about the tracker IV, I used the 40% off coupon and only payed $67.00 including tax and shipping for mine. Can't go wrong with that deal.
Going out today and will post what I find.

Just got a BH IV from craigslist. It was used once, great shape, $50! Can't wait to get out and hunt, it has been about 10 years.

Good deal on a fun machine .I got mine at wally world.

Well I'm back from my second hunt and I must say it was a real learning experience.
I took your advice and set the IV to TONE disk knob to 12:00, sensitivity all the way up.
Went to a local park and found a penny right off the bat. No big deal but I started learning about the tones/sounds the IV make when it senses something.
At first I wasn't sure what was meant by a BROKEN signal, but now I know what it sounds like.
The first few times I heard it I dug it just to see what it was, to make sure it really was trash. It was.
Little by little I was learning the sound of a good signal. There is a definite difference between a coin and trash.
After 3 or 4 hours I was getting much better at knowing trash from treasure.
Now every time I thought it was a good signal, I dug it and it was a coin.
And ever time I thought it was trash and dug it to make sure, and it was trash.
So today I found my first dimes and quarters. And of course a bunch of pennies. Also some copper tubing and a few lead fishing weights.
All in all I'm happy.
Oh I also figured out how to discriminate pull tabs so I don't hear them anymore.

Congrats boken tones sometimes can be good low tones and high tones are the way to go on this machine. Simple and efective.

 

[Trackerman]

Oh and another thing dont disc out pull tabs sometimes they can be a ring instead. Dig trash and yull find the cash.

Please help out another newb here.

I have the BH 202 pioneer and have been digging trash, especially soda cans, or 2 weeks. Can you explain the broken signal?

On some machines a broken signal can sometimes be a good target. So what you can do to see if your machine is one of those . Is set up a small test garden and put out some quarters dimes nickels and some gold jewlry if you have. And listen to the differnt sounds your machine will make. Manny times Gold rings and jewlry will come in as a broken tone.

Thanks, I did that with coins, but never thought to try with jewelry.

Oh well I guess I passed up a lot of gold today because there were broken signals every 3 ft.
I did dig a lot of tabs today, all were low broken signals. If I have to dig every tab to find a gold ring,
I'll go out and buy one, plant it in my yard and dig it up next week
By next week I'll have forgotten where it was or that I ever put it there.
Next time I'm going hunting, it will be some place else.

Thats the nature of the hobby you want to find the gold you gota dig trash and besides its good excercise.

I'll say, I'm feeling muscles today that I forgot I had.
Especially in my hands from all the digging.
It's all good though, I'm sure it will be good for my legs with all the kneeling and standing up.
Going out tomorrow to an 1850 site that hasn't been hunted before. Hope to come back with some nice finds.

Nah, I don't have to justify anything I want to buy. I just get it. We don't even give each other presents because we are always buying things for our selves.

Hello there, I just want to ask you if the The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV can find Gold or Precious stones? because I think this is the most important treasure!

 

[Trackerman]

If you mean Raw gold nugets ive heard some guys have found some with them. As far as precious stones meteiorites not shure never tried

 

[VTX]

Hey man, the 505 came in today while I was out with my buddy on an 1850 site that gave up a lot of iron and wire, but little else.

Had fun though and got a workout on the old knees.
Afterwards I stopped by the park to collect my earnings for the day, 6 pennies and a dime.
Haven't opened the 505 box yet.
