Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Metal Detector with adjustable trash elimination

Product Information

The target meter helps measure the target strength with just a beep. This meter is calibrated to a specific level, helping you know for sure if you are going to find the metal you are looking for. The first successful attempt to make something that would resemble a working metal detector was made by Alexander Graham Bell, and it has nothing to do with gold, but to save President Garfield’s life after he was shot. Unfortunately, Garfield could not be saved, but Bell has eventually created a prototype of a metal detector that became the basis for other people’s further experiments. The first applicable machines were created; they were huge, bulky, and were used mostly to locate and clear landmines. At that point, especially if they’ve been detecting since the age of 6, they’ll want to move up to a slightly heavier and more sophisticated machine. This detector also gives you a pinpointing mode which will help you find your target more precisely. Meanwhile, another scientist, Gerhard Fisher, was working with radio beams and navigation technologies; during one of his researches, he noticed that certain types of land give electromagnetic interference when he sends radio beams there. Fisher discovered these are highly mineralized patches of soil, and suggested he could use that discovery to create a metal detector. In 1925, Fisher received a patent on the very first portable metal detector, and became one of the very first manufacturers of portable hand metal detectors in the world. He sold his first machine to the public in 1931.

White’s Electronics, another major player in the early hobby metal detecting arena, was established in the 1 The ground-balancing feature is responsible for sensing the various metallic minerals in the soil and, in turn, clearing out any possible interference from these. If the calibration strength is too low on your metal detector, you may experience frustrating interference from the minerals in the soil. Interestingly, the Treasure Cove – TC-3020 was a close second place, as it is sturdily and also has an excellent LCD display. We found the BARSKA – Winbest Pro Edition to have the worst ergonomics. Not only was the forearm rest on the BARSKA small and flimsy, but the unit itself kept falling apart due its weak screw support. What is a metal detector used for? Finally it works effectively in dry sand, but it loses a bit of its efficiency when used in wet saltwater sand. ConclusionIn fact, this metal detector looks quite old fashioned and does not have any fancy digital technology to make it

Which Bounty Hunter you select will depend on your age, your budget and how much you plan to go metal detecting. The controls are intuitive and the screen helps you locate your targeted metal easily, it will also give you a feel to identify the metals you have found and about to dig for. Weatherproofing and waterproofing are undoubted pros for a device. This not only protects the model from wet and rain but also makes it possible to search along the coastline or in small bodies of water.

The iron audio tone will help you ignore as much trash as possible so you could mostly focus on non-ferrous targets. The unit also comes with 4 audio tone identification. All Bounty Hunter metal detectors are made in Texas in the United States. 4. How deep does a Bounty Hunter metal detector go? They don’t have as many features as more advanced detectors, and that’s perfect for young children who don’t want to be overwhelmed by complicated equipment when they’re trying to have fun. Numerical VDI or Target-ID is displayed on some digital devices. VDI value will more accurately show what kind of metal you have found. At first, you look at the discriminator. Then at the VDI value and after that, you decide whether to dig or to pass it by.

In our general detection test, the Gold Digger missed only one item. Likewise, in the depth test and underwater test this detector failed to locate only one item per test. This Gold Digger is therefore very reliable when it comes to locating treasures – both above ground as well as underground and underwater. The ground balancing feature is decent and helpful if you are dealing with slightly conductive soil! These all have features and characteristics that are suited to smaller and fewer patient individuals.First let me tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to sell us our new Minelab Vanquish 540. For the discrimination test, we used the above-mentioned general detection test, but first, we scattered several nails and soda can pull tabs throughout the area. We chose these trash items because they seem to be the most common to confuse detectors. We placed these trash objects both next to several of the coins, relics, and gold and in the spaces between them. Comes with 2 knobs: One knob controls the sensitivity and power level, while the second knob is the trash eliminator. This allows you to set the discrimination level at places where you are expecting to find a lot of junk signals. The knob on the right is for discrimination. There is a switch below that allows for mode selection. There is also an analog meter in the center that measures your signal strength when you pass the detector over a target. The detector will automatically adjust to the ground conditions using this feature which allows for better depth and more accurate target ID.
