Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker

Product Information

The Fast Tracker Metal Detector is a user-friendly, highly efficient tool for treasure hunters of all experience levels. Designed by First Texas Products, this device simplifies the metal detecting process by incorporating automatic ground balancing and target tuning, making it easy to use right out of the box. Equipped with a padded armrest and an ergonomic S-rod handle system, the Fast Tracker ensures comfortable extended use. The detector features a 7” waterproof coil that allows for detection in diverse terrains, including shallow water.

The Fast Tracker operates with only two control knobs – one for sensitivity and the other for discrimination. The sensitivity knob allows users to adjust the detector’s responsiveness to electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable operation even in environments with high interference. The discrimination knob enables users to filter out unwanted metal types, making it easier to identify valuable targets.

This metal detector offers two modes of operation: All-Metal and Discrimination. In All-Metal mode, the Fast Tracker detects all types of metals and emits a single tone, ideal for general searches and gold prospecting. The Discrimination mode allows users to eliminate specific metals from detection and classify targets with different audio tones. Iron and steel are typically ignored, while valuable metals like gold and silver produce distinctive tones, aiding in more precise treasure hunting.

For ease of use, the Fast Tracker includes a headphone jack to help users hear subtle changes in sound more clearly, particularly in noisy environments. The lightweight design and simple assembly make it accessible for both beginners and seasoned detectorists. Additionally, the device is powered by 9-volt alkaline batteries, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Whether you’re searching for coins, jewelry, relics, or caches, the Fast Tracker Metal Detector provides reliable performance and ease of use, making it a must-have tool for any treasure hunting enthusiast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I optimize the sensitivity setting for different soil types?

To optimize sensitivity, start at the highest setting and gradually decrease it if you encounter excessive chatter or false signals. For highly mineralized soils, reducing the sensitivity slightly can help maintain stable operation.

What is the best technique for pinpointing a target accurately?

Use the "X-ing" technique by sweeping the coil over the target area in a side-to-side motion, then repeat the process at a 90-degree angle. This helps narrow down the exact location of the target.

Can the Fast Tracker detect targets in saltwater environments?

Yes, the Fast Tracker’s waterproof coil can be used in saltwater environments. However, you may need to adjust the sensitivity to reduce interference from salt minerals.

What are some tips for detecting smaller targets like gold nuggets?

Use the All-Metal mode for maximum sensitivity and keep the coil close to the ground. Move the coil slowly and listen for faint signals, as small targets often produce weaker responses.

How does the detector handle electromagnetic interference from power lines?

If you experience interference from power lines, reduce the sensitivity and try to maintain a distance from the source of the interference. Using headphones can also help isolate the target signals from the background noise.

Is it possible to use rechargeable batteries with the Fast Tracker?

Yes, rechargeable 9-volt batteries can be used. Ensure they are fully charged before use, as lower voltage can affect the detector’s performance.

How can I maintain the coil’s condition for optimal performance?

Regularly inspect the coil for cracks or damage. Rinse the coil with fresh water after use in saltwater to prevent corrosion, and consider using a coil cover to protect it from abrasion.

What should I do if my detector emits constant or repetitive tones?

Constant or repetitive tones often indicate low battery power or electromagnetic interference. Replace the batteries with fresh alkaline ones and ensure there are no nearby electronic devices causing interference.
