Which range fits what you hunt

Three groups, sorted by the facts that decide them: how much of the detector goes underwater, the technology, and the weight.

Kids and small hands

The two lightest. The Junior T.I.D. weighs 1.5 lb on a 6-inch coil and runs on 2 x AA (not included). Next comes the Gold Digger, at 2.2 lb, with two modes, All Metal and Discrimination.

Parks and fields

The two heaviest of the four, with the most modes. The Tracker IV has three modes and an analog meter. The Land Ranger Pro has the most modes of the four: seven, six of them for discrimination. It runs 7.6 kHz on a larger 11-inch DD coil. For its weight, the maker prints 2.87 lb in one place and 2.4 lb in another, so we give both.

Dew and damp grass

Each coil is waterproof, but no control box is, and First Texas gives none a rating. The detectors handle dew and damp grass, not rain or wading. Every model lists a battery life of 20-25 h (alkaline).

Frequencies across the range

Each line marks the frequencies Bounty Hunter publishes for a model. Further right means a higher frequency, which favors small and low-conductive targets such as gold.

Questions about Bounty Hunter

First Texas Products, LLC, which also makes Fisher and Teknetics detectors. First Texas lists the USA as the country of origin for its detectors.

Only the coil. On all four models we read, the control box is not waterproof, so keep it out of rain and water.

The Junior T.I.D., at 1.5 lb, has a single mode, All Metal with two-step discrimination, and a three-category visual target ID. The Gold Digger is the next lightest, at 2.2 lb, with two modes. Our kids guide compares them with other brands.
