I've had this model for about 6 months now. In reality it will detect a penny-sized object in clay soil down to about 4 inches. The deepest I've ever detected metal was about a foot deep; about a 2 pound steel object. Mine detects my refridgerator at about 18 inches away. It's fun and I've enjoyed it.
Its not fully waterproof. Only the coil or the round thing at the bottom is and the shaft it is connected to is. If you get the control housing with the knobs wet it will ruin the detecter. If it was waterproof the company would mention this in the manual and in advertisements as selling points.
I had no idea this detector was waterproof! It's my first MD & here i am at the beach running from the surf as it came in and out. In the owners manuel it never stated it was waterproof. I feel so silly now. I am such a M detecting NEWB!
I own "TWO" of these and a Whites Coinmaster and a Discovery 2000! The TRACKER IV is the best! In just over six months of hunting on the weekends, I have found over $250 in coins, a silver bracelet, silver necklace, 2 silver rings AND a WHITE GOLD RING with an Emerald and 2 diamonds! It's light weight and so easy to use! If your thinking about starting this hobby, this is the best choice! (And to prove I'm not a paid rep from Bounty Hunter, I got both of mine at a "garage-sale"! Check EBAY too!)
I have one but don't know how to use the tone mode

The detectorist searches for gold. And yes, the metal detector can detect gold.
