Review: Great tool for finding lost arrows—and more - I picked up the Bounty Hunter TK4 Metal Detector to help locate arrows I’d lost during target shooting and hunting, and it has delivered. It’s been a game-changer for tracking down arrows in brush, grass, and even soft ground where I normally would have just given up. The waterproof coil is a nice bonus for pond-side or wet terrain use. Beyond arrows, I’ve started using it just for fun to find interesting metal objects around the yard and nearby trails. It spots coins, old nails, and other surprises I never expected to find, and that added hobby element is surprisingly enjoyable. What stands out: It’s intuitive to use—turn it on, sweep the coil, and when you get the signal you know something’s there. The sensitivity is good enough for shallow arrowheads or aluminum vanes, so I’m not missing much in my usual hunting spots. Durable build and waterproofing give me the confidence to use it in less-ideal terrain (muddy ground, wet grass, etc). My only caveat: If the target arrow is buried pretty deep or in super dense cover, I still sometimes struggle—so it’s not perfect in every scenario. As with any detector, you’ll still need to dig or clear the area once it signals. Bottom line: For the money, this detector is a smart investment if you’re tired of losing arrows or just want a fun side hobby digging up hidden metal. I’d highly recommend it.
Review: Great for casual metal detecting. - As a low cost metal detector I give this thing five stars. I bought this Detector several months back and enjoy it's relative ease of use, and it DOES find what you are searching for (coins, rings, earings, necklaces, etc). The other reviews here pretty much wrap it up as a good (affordable!) unit, but I wanted to make a few comments from an amateur's point of view: - This detector has, of course, the discrimination circuitry used to tell the difference between the various metals helping you to avoid digging up junk like soda can pull tabs which are everywhere. It does work pretty good, BUT - I have found that by using the Tracker IV discriminator, you will most likely be missing some good stuff. I have gone back over "Discriminated" areas again in "All Metal" mode and found some nice stuff that Discriminate didn't catch. Granted I am no pro, but the fact is if you want to get every coin, every ring, or every cool item of various metals, you may want to consider just using "All Metal" mode. I almost exclusively use it now and although I sift through some absolute junk. I have found a bunch of coins, necklaces, pendants, etc that I would have otherwise missed. Use the Discriminate mode when looking for that gold wedding ring your wife through at you in the back yard... - Invest in the 4 inch "Gold Nugget Coil" which is far superior at pinpointing metal. The stock coil works fine but is a tad ambiguous as to precisely where your coin, ring, (or pull tab) is. The smaller coil reduces search time and I am glad I have one. - I bought the recommended Bounty Hunter Headphones (to save battery power), but have found them to be a bit more trouble than help. When I detect something I squat or sit down and dig. I set the detector down so the coil is near the dig zone so I can waive clumps of dirt (or sand) in front of the coil as I search. The problem is the headphone's wire tends to be always in the way when I perform this move. I get tired of "untangling" so I don't use them anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old. - The meter is of no value for anyone who can hear the audible report. It has no "range" to judge metals you are passing over. It simply swings hard to the right no matter what from what I can tell. I have tried different modes and different metals to test it, but it seems to merely swing hard to the right as you pass over any type of metal / alloy. I can see how this would still be useful to a deaf person, but it just as easily could have been a bright light bulb instead of a meter. I won't ding this low cost detector for that though because I'd still dig if it was half scale or pegged. - And lastly a warning. If you go into a park, or any area attended by kids, you will be spotted. Within a short amount of time you will be surrounded by kids "helping you" to dig up buried treasure. At that point you have to decide whether to be a meanie and bark at them, or write the rest of the hunt off and let them shred the area every time the detector beeps. I generally tell them how it's been a long day and "see ya" since they will invariably have their hands in there digging away no matter what you say...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work for a child**
A: It depends on the height of the child. It is easy to use and does shrink down quite short. Maybe 8 years +.

**Q: whats the maximum depth it can detect?**
A: That is a loaded question. It would depend on many factors. First how big the buried object is. For example a coin sized object ( Say a quarter ) may get 5" where as a garbage can lid might come in at 22". The next factor is how much discrimination you use. On all metal you will get more depth but pick up more trash items. Under ideal circumstances you would never even pick up that trash can lid if you had iron nulled out. Other factors are too many to name but soil condition, moisture of grass and sensitivity settings are all going to count towards depth. If you are looking to find old deep buried coins then this is not the right unit for you. I have two detectors. I use this Bounty hunter for the beach and play grounds where is handles great. For parks and old sites I have a more expensive detector that no Bounty hunter made could match the depth on. With my good detector I have found old dimes at 13". I love the bounty hunter and it paid for itself in a few weeks with a gold ring it found but it has its limitations. The old saying "You get what you pay for". You cannot expect a $100 detector to do what a $2000 detector can do. Lastly, experience and time in the field ( knowing what the heck you are doing ) is key.Hope this helped

**Q: Is this detector able to detect diamond?  I am trying to find a diamond from a ring that fell out a number of years ago in my garden.**
A: If the diamond and carriage (the prongs on the diamond) are still together as long as the prongs are a detectable metal it likely will work!

**Q: is the coil waterproof?**
A: Though the coil may be water proof, if used at the shore, the slightest wave will splash the coil connection to the housing, which is NOT waterproof and it may short out the unit causing it to constantly whine. Not for use at water line in my opinion only use on dry land or away from waves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bounty Hunter TRACKERIV/TK4-PL Tracker IV Metal Detector
*by J***K on December 19, 2009*

I have had little experience with metal detectors, except for having built one once about 40 years ago as a project I found in an electronics magazine. I still understand in principle how these devices work from that experience and from a general background in electronics. Basically a balanced circuit is produced in the two coils at the end of the unit. When the flux lines in the coils are changed by induced eddy currents (by passing near a metal object), a difference signal is generated from the unbalanced conditions which lets the operator know that something has changed in the field of the detector coil. BTW, this is why one must move the coil in order to induce a signal. A static coil does not experience any changes. Different metal groups produce different phase responses, which allow for some rough discrimination of the type of metal producing the response. My point is that these things can finicky as most anything that changes the reluctance of a tuned circuit will generate a difference signal. So the trick is to just generate a signal when an object of interest is passed over. All of that said, I am favorably impressed with the operation of this moderately priced unit. It is rugged. It is very stable. It is sensitive without being too sensitive so that too many false signals are generated. The notch filter function seems to work well. It does not seem to be much affected by soil mineralization (at least in my yard) or soil moisture levels. I purchased the unit to find nails in the yard. I had my roof replaced a couple of months ago and even though the crew did an excellent job and ran magnetic nail sweeps over and over the yard, I could still go out with a powerful hand held magnet mounted on a short wooden handle and find nails. After several weeks of this sporadic activity, I realized that if I were to have a shot at finding 99.9% of the extant nails, I would need a better way to detect them. Hence this detector. I use the detector in the non-discrimiating mode and have found nails that were obviously left over from when the house was built almost 20 years ago! For this purpose it has worked and worked well. I have even done a small amount of digging to get the long buried metal up and out of the yard for no other reason than I can locate it and then retrieve it. No treasure, so far. Learning to narrow down the source of a signal by making "X" sweeps takes a bit of practice. After only a few minutes, however, even a novice such as I can quickly get an idea of whether the object is on or under the surface and if it is iron/steel or not. The grand daughters, 6 going on 7, and 9 going on 14, have taken to this device in a big way. Let me explain. I salted two areas of my rather large yard with 1- $1 coin, 5 quarters, 5 dimes, five nickels, and five pennies each. These areas were well removed from one another. I made sure that the coins were not very visible, but otherwise were dropped randomly. When the grand daughters last came to visit, I asked them to help me find treasure in my yard. I produced two wadded up "treasure maps" and let them select which one they wanted. Then I showed them the metal detector and explained how it worked. I had a minute timer along with two baggies labeled with their names in my pocket. The timer was to keep the peace as each girl got ten minutes alternately. The baggies were to keep the loot separate and separated. I believe the 6.5 year old would still be out there looking, if we had not forced her to come in that evening. All in all the youngest found all but 6¢ but oddly enough, she ended up with 4¢ more than I had planted. You see, she found a dime that I had not put there! The older one came up 11¢ short and was most disappointed that her sister had found more than she! As a bonus, they did find 7 nails that I had not expected to find as these were in areas well removed from the perimeter of the house. I also had an opportunity to explain to the older one that this was an application of science, where she could use a device to sense things that she could not see, hear, or feel. This made an impression on her, I could tell. They want to come back and do this again! Suits me fine. So what does this have to do with a review of a purchase? This unit has worked well in not only my hands but in the little, inexperienced, and often clumsy hands of two children (after shortening the pole). It is light enough in weight that neither I nor the children had any difficulty using it. The smaller did have to use two hands, however. I am pleased with it in general, but I have yet to test it for unsalted "coin shooting" (I love that term), relic hunting, prospecting, or general treasure hunting as in finding objects of value say at a public beach, park, etc. I would recommend it as a good, affordable, general purpose metal detector, with the caveat that I have few benchmarks such as how a higher end unit would perform for comparison, such as a unit that worked by pulse induction, for example.
