How it differs from its neighbors

Nokta's Midi Hoard is a kids model with a published age range, 8 to 12+ years. It is heavier, at 1.9 lb, but the whole detector is rated IP68 to 3 ft (1 m). It runs 15 kHz on a 7-inch coil.

The Bounty Hunter Gold Digger shares its 6.6 kHz frequency at 2.2 lb, so it is heavier than the Junior too. The Tracker IV weighs 2.6 lb and has three modes.

Bounty Hunter gives the Junior a warranty of 1 year, against 2 years for the Tracker IV.

Only the coil is. First Texas gives the control box no water rating, so keep it out of rain and puddles.
