I enjoyed this video!! Great tips and tricks not only for the Tracker IV but detecting in general!! Awesome Job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pinned!
These settings are exactly how I got started and began filing jars full of coins. This motivated me to keep detecting. It also allowed me to focus on pinpointing and digging my plugs correctly.
Good stuff Mr. Technical. Good luck and rock on!
METAL DETECTOR TIPS TRACKER IV - Some tips I've found so far include:
"Sorry if you included any of these, you've been a massive help with learning thank you."
1. "Straight metal square shovel". 5-6 inches deep with a foot step. I recently got one and it took away about 70% of kneeling, digging, and searching. I would simply use American Detection's tips for locating, and make a square around the area and pry it up as a whole. Made it easier to put back, as the entire square was still in tact.
2. "Side bag" was a impressive purchase. 100% recommed to keep findings that are dirty.
3. "Backpack" I've encountered large fields and a pack was incredibly useful, because I could carry water, food, and tools to not weigh me down casually searching. Also used it as a sweeping marker for straight lines to keep track of how far I could sweep.
4. "Pinpointer" I got a fairly cheap pinpointer, but it still is very useful once you pick up on it. Frustrating at first with constant beeping. I would not recommend going cheap on one. Very useful if quality's there.
*Is the safe for metal detectors? Would hate to give false or bad information*

5. "Headphones" There's actually a couple different options. If you don't have the money for specialty headphones right away, Amazon or whatever electronics store, might have an adapter for 1/4-1/8. Meaning you can convert normal headphone jacks to the bigger jack on the detector. The sound won't be as great and clear, but it will work. I do not know if this harms the detector though. Will take suggestions.
Good stuff. Thanks for passing on the information!
Great video, Russ! Loved the ending. When I started this last July, digging in the “concrete” soil, I was surprised to find I quickly developed a callus in my digging palm.
Appreciate it Rick...yeah I use to have that callus but apparently my hands have gotten soft after not digging for 6 weeks. Lol.
I know you posted this a year ago, but I discovered something interesting. I had a Time Ranger and it had the sniper coil with it as a bonus. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the frequency and pin-out of the connectors were the same between the Tracker IV and this machine. It works flawlessly on the Tracker IV and allows you to really work the heck out of trashy sites. It's like using a microscope on the thing. You don't get quite as deep, but hey, we're just coin shooting here, and it still gets in about 3 inches into the soil in most cases. By the way, just out of curiosity, where did you get those cargo shorts. I'm always looking for practical outdoor wear.
Good video! I actually used my tracker 4 for the first time yesterday. It surprised me! Very stable and effective at my local park. I used tone mode with the disc knob tone break set about at the 12o'clock position. It worked pretty well. I did dig some pulltabs thinking they were nickels but I dug far mor coins. Super easy to use and effective detector. I have other more expensive machines but the tracker was perfect for the park and was a blast to use.
I use a similar setting when I'm not cherry picking just for coins. Take care MarkF88!
Got one of these for Christmas with the pinpointed.
Can't wait to use it. Since I'm in Minnesota it will be a bit.
Plan to do some detecting and gold panning this year.
Congrats and Goodluck JTK!
About to start myself, surprise random gift (& pinpointer from my dad whom I don't see often threw that on top of an already brand new, not even broken in very popular sidearm. Needless to say (wanted a metal detector 25+ yrs), I can't wait to see what's on the coast & old fields in the South, with walking distance locations enough to keep me preoccupied for a year. Would love to hear how your journey has gone so far, & if you've found anything neat. I'll be happy to find junk silver at this trajectory, but the beaches there is no telling. After Katrina, me and my grandfather (shrimper all his life), ended up returning quite a few historical artifacts we dredged up from Jefferson Davis's home, now museum. Kept a hull stone though they used on wooded ships. Not even the size of a bowling ball, but Deceitfully heavy! Circular, flattened on the bottom used to distribute weight. God knows where it even came from, or how old it is before ending up in one of his vessels. I imagine they were recycled, being that dense of a rock - could be from an older Spanish Galleon for all we know. Good luck, hope to hear your progress!
Well done Russ, I had never thought about turning the discrimination up all the way!
Hello Jerry- On the Tracker IV it knocks out EVERYTHING from zinc pennies to iron. It's really only advised if you are cherry-picking for only coins.
This was a well put together outstanding my friend. Lots of great tips new folks too. Really enjoyed it!👍🇺🇸
Thanks brother!
I never tried that setup on my T4. I always make sure I get more then a buck in change when I go coin shooting at my favorite park. Nice video!
Good stuff! A dollar a trip will pay for a tracker IV real quick!
I don't believe in Karma. But logic dictates for being a good person. 🖖
100% 👍
Looping is just about the same.
@@DirectX3 I loved Looping on Colecovision.
I’m a new subscriber and wow thanks so much for these videos - I’ve had this exact detector for years but it’s been locked away in the cupboard for too long! I went this weekend… and had fun! I’m in the U.K. (Wales).
I’m just wondering, what knife, digging tool is that you’re using and also the hand held pinpointer? Thanks in advance!
Hello Anella- Thanks for visiting the channel! In this video I'm using a Lesche digging knife and an F-Pulse pinpointer. I believe Joan Allen metal detectors carries the F-Pulse in the UK. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your time out detecting. Take care.
You weren't dressed for the heat. I wear my Nacho Libre suit when it's that hot!
Yes, it's a 7 kHz detector.
My kids got me one for Christmas. I have to admit, I am hooked. Mine is really good at finding dimes.....pull tabs and wads of foil.
Thanks for sharing An awesome editing. Love the multiple angles.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Great little hunt Russ thanks for the video. I hear you on the karma brother I believe in it also. Take care and be safe out there.
Thanks Danny! Be good out there!
Fun times with the Tracker Four Russ...Papa Mark says nice hunt my friend......
Thank you Papa Mark!
Steward of the Hobby, And Karma! Taking the Trash- love that Mantra.
Right on, appreciate it! The hobby of metal detecting if done carelessly can and has been limited in public parks.
Where I live in Northern AZ, have to use a pick to get down to the targets with my Tricker 4. And up to 6 inches, fairly impressive and my friend uses a Garret detector and they are very close in performance. The bounty Hunter pin pointer and the Garret are equal in depth detection. Very good to compare. $100 verses over $400. The Garret of course is a much more sophisticated detector with many more modes and the screen helps a lot too. Staying with my Bounty Hunter for now.
Just went today around an old well and old homestead and spent 90% of my time digging old iron tools, nails and a stove top to an old wood cook stove. Gonna try again tomorrow and just ignore the stuff that sounds like iron.
Good stuff
Wish I had a guy like you detecting with me 👍👍
Much appreciated. It would be awesome to get out and hunt with you too! There are a ton of great people in this hobby.
Check the dates on the coins, dimes, quarters, half dollars & silver dollars pre 1965 are 90% silver & worth much more than face value and any silver 1965 dimes are rare because they weren't supposed to be minted.
Good info!
WW2 Nickels are also 90% Silver, S mint marked coins are worth checking as well, rare as they are. Junk silver is highly sought after these days. Then consider copper (been a couple mo, but these were rough estimates). Nickel: 11$/lb & 4$/lb Copper. Also on the rare chance it's a foreign coin (got em all the time as a cashier), some people have a 99% silver coin but think it's not even worth the 25c it represents (& pass off thinking they got over. Usually the case.) But find a platinum one, you're going to be one happy camper.
Using whites coin master pro years ago and a neighbor gave me tracker IV because bottom rod was broke, Bounty Hunter said look in battery box date sent me a rod !in my yard Tracker IV found coins and gold ring 💍 my Whites and Garrett never hit em ! So buried some targets!Bingo whites ,Garrett was sold I stick to Bounty Hunter,Fishers and Teknetics.
Right on Keith!
This channel is underrated
Thank you my friend! I appreciate it.
What fun! Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! What is the card hanging from your finds pouch?
That's and ID card for Digstock hunt I attended.
10:15 am feels like 104 in the boot heel of Missouri heat warning! I need to get another Track IV to hunt yards
Oh man, looks like it's hot almost EVERYWHERE! That Tracker IV is really underrated and really fun to just go metal detecting with. Forget all the bells and whistles, and get back to that feeling we all had when we were just getting into the hobby. Be safe and stay cool, Keith Digger!
@@AmericanDetection years ago a neighbor gave me Tracker IV the bottom rod was broken, he ran over it lol but he was using Garrett Ace 300 at the time I was using whites coin master pro ,Bounty Hunter sent me rod free and in my yard I found coins and stuff my whites or his Garrett didn’t dig ! So I made targets coins , iron etc ! Bounty Hunter won the test so since then I use what Teknetics makes in Texas, Bounty Hunter,Fisher and Teknetics.Stay cool good luck finding treasures
@@detectingfortreasures4789 You too brother!
Get some Russ!!!
Thank you!
Can’t beat the tracker 4 it’s a decent MD for the money
Hear, hear!
What pinpointer are you using? Also what is that side bag you are using?
I'm using the Tek-Point from Teknetics Metal Detectors and the bag is the Relic-Elite bag.
What is the name of the smaller hand held detector you are using?
Good job man .what about the 12coil DD
Hello Anwar- I did a video on the 12COILDD-BH right here: ruclips.net/video/H2d0S2bIIWc/видео.html and thank you for the kind words!
what kind of coil proforms better DD or Concentric?
It depends. The DD coil is deeper, however not as good at ID'ing iron. For a newish user I'd suggest the stock concentric coil. If you wanted more depth then I'd suggest the 11"DD or 12"DD coils.
@@AmericanDetection I would say I’m in the intermediate range cuz I am finding better things
Unfortunately the disc mode on mine discriminates out all coins idk why or what reason is causing this but if you have any tips please help.
Do you have a video about the pouch and other gear you carry on your belt ?
Hello Rocko- I don't but I certainly can do a video. In this video I am using a Teknetics Tek-Point pinpointer, Leshche digging tool, and a Relic Elite finds bag. My gloves were bought at Walmart and are knock-offs of the Mechanic type gloves.
Thanks very much for the info on your gear. Really enjoy your videos. I have a Tracker IV that I used with my kids on nearby Lake Michigan beaches when they were young and had many fun times looking for “treasure”. Always loved the look on their faces when they dug up their finds and found coins or jewelry. Your videos have given me the nudge to get back out there and use it again. Your videos detailing setup and adjustments will come in handy.
I use a fisher f70 but always bring the bounty hunter 4. For some reason it's stronger.
Hey Shannon! The Fisher F70 was and always will be one of my all-time favorite detectors!
what settings do you recommend for gold nuggets? I know its not the best device out there, but hoping the setting could help. TIA
All metal and as high sensitivity as you can run without causing the metal detector to false. You can toggle between all metal and disc. to check your target for iron. And definitely use the 4" coil you mentioned in the other comment. Good luck!
@@AmericanDetection Thank you sir
@@AmericanDetection Hi there, just received the 4 in coil.... it did not really make a difference between that and the stock coil on my wifes gold ring. why do you think? I put it under a pillow and it was hard to detect.
Love it!
Thank you!
I was watching a Tesoro Compadre video, and someone commented on what is called “thumbing the discriminator “. It’s a method of turning the knob until the signal disappears. I was thinking of trying this method to mark the faceplate of the tracker IV. Ya know, wave a rusty nail & turn the disc knob until the signal disappears and marking it. What is your opinion of this ?
Hello B- I use to have a Tesoro Silver Saber that I'd do that with. Rather than thumbing the disc I'd use the Tracker IV's toggle switch. Hunt in all-metal and then just flip the switch to disc to check your target. Set your disc to whatever level you want to knock out. From just above iron all the way up to Zinc pennies. Hope this helps and thank you for the great idea!
Russ, is there an email address I can send some pics to? Want to show off those rings, and I found what I strongly suspect is a Revolutionary War cannonball yesterday.
You can email them to russ@frsttx.com
For my future reference. Where did you get the pin pointer,and is that what they're called?
Hello Jeffrey- You are correct it is a pinpointer. In this video I'm using the Tek-Point from Teknetics. The F-Pulse from Fisher is the same unit just in red instead of green. (both companies are owned by First Texas Products) I recommend both of these pinpointers. You can purchase them on Amazon.
@@AmericanDetection thank you
Remind me never to tell YOU anything personal!!!!😝😆😂!!!!
(I'm sure you'll keep it a secret!!!)🙄😒
HAHAHAHA! Probably best!
Top secrets 😑 proceeds to take you to grass 😂 go to a real place bro 😅
I didn't say top-secret place...I said Top Secret Setting.
@@AmericanDetection nice click bate bro well done it worked
@@Lopedog100 Why don't you move along? You seem to have beef with everything I do here. Why waste your time?
@@AmericanDetection maybe next time you can lighten up. And don’t take comments to serious.
@@Lopedog100 Will do. Enjoy!
