Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector – 8" waterproof coil, lightweight beginner kit with digger & pouch

The Bounty Hunter Tracker IV is a lightweight, beginner-friendly metal detector that locates coins, relics, jewelry, and gold using a waterproof 8" coil and three selectable detection modes.

Designed for families, hobbyists and first-time detectorists, the Tracker IV blends simple controls with reliable performance. It delivers adjustable sensitivity and discrimination so you can reduce junk signals, plus the waterproof coil lets you hunt on beaches and in shallow water. The kit comes ready to use with a hand digger and carry pouch, and its low 2.6 lb weight keeps searches comfortable for hours.

How does the Tracker IV find coins and jewelry reliably?

The unit offers three detection modes—All Metal, Tone, and Discrimination—so you can pick the setting that matches your goals. All Metal provides maximum sensitivity for locating objects; Tone mode gives an audible cue tied to target conductivity; Discrimination helps ignore common trash items. Together with adjustable sensitivity, these features improve target identification across varied ground conditions.

Can I use this detector at the beach or in shallow water?

Yes—the Tracker IV is equipped with an 8" waterproof search coil that performs well on wet sand and in shallow water.
