What customers say about "Key Specs"

Bounty Hunter QSI-PL

This was easy to understand and operate. I bought this as a gift for my father in law.
Simple to operate and seems to do the basic functions very well.
This detector is very easy to assemble, adjustable length, comfortable grips, very sensitive and precise.
Very straightforward indicators and an adjustable length pole.
The length adjustment is very short. This upset me very much because I was expecting something completely different.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV (TK4 ) Metal Detector

This is tried and tested technology and will give you a fantastic start in detecting but will also stay with you way beyond the novice level.
I have found many coins and trash. So i am very happy with it.
Nice metal detector, takes some some skill learning to interpret the beeps. Better spec when compared to other detectors.
Great metal detector. A very good entry level for the beginner very easy to use!
Pretty easy to put together, though I'm a little concerned about, as someone mentioned, the lower stem to search coil intersection is plastic, with a knurled knob.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Bounty Hunter QSI-PL

Light weight and user-friendly. I have found a few things with this, nothing super cool yet, but at least it's working and good on target.
I will say that it's light weight, easy to use. It can discriminate between coins and junk.
All I can say is that it is light weight, easy to use, and so much fun! It is never wrong.
It loves adventure so this is perfect. Light weight, not too heavy for him. Seems to work really well.
It turned out that for me this small size has to constantly bend over when I am looking for something.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV (TK4 ) Metal Detector

Very easy to set up. Lightweight and easy to hold and carry. Great beginners metal detector.
I very pleased with it ,on the beach for a couple off hours and found plenty of coins. It's a good beginners detector its very easy to use and very light on the arm.
Nice metal detector, Lightweight, handle extends to fit your size, can easily set the angle of the coil, and the set up is easy and fast.
Very lightweight and adjustable. Works as advertised. It seems to be made cheap, but the components work great.
It's a great size, but it's so heavy that a senior can't treasure hunt away with it.

What customers say about "Detection"

Bounty Hunter QSI-PL

We found a bunch of modern coins so far, and surprised at the small size of metallic 'trash' items/ foil we found. Works great for the price.
Works great. Seems to be able to detect a coin easily at 6 inches in the ground, possible more.
The unit detected a thin piece of candy wrapper with foil and registered Al on the display.
Does poor job of detecting small metal objects such as a dime.
This thing can't even detect a nail 2" underground. My 8 year old is very discouraged.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV (TK4 ) Metal Detector

Brilliant detector only used a couple of times but has found items at around 6 inch deep.
Not had a chance to use it properly but in the garden seems to be very good found lots of coins placed at depths 10 " to 3" no problem.
Great little metal detector. Took my 8 year old out and he found 1 pound and a few 5 pence pieces. Also found items at depths of at least 20 cm.
I'm mainly using 'disc' mode as i have been in high trash areas. Last week i found a queen victoria commemorative medal which i think is my best find to date.
Sometimes difficult to get the sensitivity right, but it worked well on the beach - found lots of bottle tops but no treasure yet.

What customers say about "Features"

Bounty Hunter QSI-PL

A picture of where the treasure approximately is under the coil. It may save a lot of avoidable digging.
I put the audio into my earbuds but its right channel only and kinda loud.
The ease of use and digital display indicating the type of object detected allowed me to get up to speed quickly.
In using the detector it seemed very erratic it its identification of metal.
The identifying indicator fluctuates way too much and is undependable even with new batteries.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV (TK4 ) Metal Detector

The two 9v Duracell batteries seem to last well so far and this machine can detect more then 6 inches down.
The ‘Tone’ mode will help me (and you) find only the better stuff and leave the ring pulls and rusty iton out of it altogether but it takes some practice.
The visual indicator is pretty much useless but it gets the job done in telling you there's metal in the ground.
It is not waterproof. One quick short sharp shower caught on a beach, caused the speaker to fail.
The beeper noise is extremely quiet even at maximum volume. I should have taken headphones.
