Rating  - Poor
I expected a better product. It has a hard time finding metal objects.
I don't think I would buy another item from the manufacturer.
Rating  - Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Metal Detector
Bounty Hunter Tracker IV Metal Detector, this product came to me in perfect conditions, works very well and honestly it was a gift for my wife for Christ-mas and she has hardly used it, but as for the performance of the product, it is well worth the money.
Rating - Very basic, but does the trick!
This is truly an entry-level device, great for someone who wants to just use it out of the box. I am an oddball though in that I am not using it to find normal metals. I am actually using it to find metal-bearing minerals such as pyrite and galena (iron and lead bearing, respectively). This detector by itself is really better for just finding plain metals, and is not very sensitive at all for finding such minerals. If it weren't for the fact that a better search coil can be had, I would give it 3 stars.
For those searching for minerals such as pyrite and galena, and even for those looking for pure metal items or relics (there are VERY FEW people interested in minerals!) I HIGHLY recommend buying the 4" nugget coil for use with this. Having that coil and learning the differences in detectability (depth vs. sensitivity) will allow a variety of detecting options. For example, if know you don't want to DIG and you just want to find something small stuck in the grass, use the smaller nugget coil. For beach combing or looking for deeper objects, use the standard coil. See my review of the gold nugget coil for more information.
Anyway, this is such an inexpensive model and is so easy to use its hard to go wrong. My only gripe is that it has its own threshold for detectability that is internally set, and so the notification is a binary "beep" or no beep. You can't really listen to the tone (like you can with a Whites model) to get a "feel" for the search. For the price of this model, though, you just can't find that sort of function in any detector, and therefore I really can't give it bad marks for that.
I will say that if you think you might get serious about prospecting or metal detecting as a hobby, understand that you will likely buy another more capable model later on. Although, you'll probably not get rid of this one if you do! It's also great to have for fun with the kids on the beach or in the park - and no need for complex training for them to use it.
