{"product_id":"rothco-tracker-iv-metal-detector","title":"Rothco Tracker IV Metal Detector","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Tracker IV is a two-control metal detector built for hobbyists and field users who want reliable detection across a range of terrain types. Automatic Ground Trac technology adjusts continuously to mineral conditions in the soil, reducing false signals without requiring manual tuning. The 8-inch waterproof interchangeable coil and ergonomic grip design make it practical for extended sessions in wet or demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Controls, No Guesswork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tracker IV is operated with just two controls, keeping the learning curve short for first-time users while still giving experienced detectorists a clean, distraction-free interface. Fewer settings mean less time adjusting and more time sweeping, a practical advantage when covering large areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAutomatic Ground Trac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGround mineralization is one of the most common sources of false readings in metal detection. The Tracker IV's Automatic Ground Trac feature continuously reads and compensates for mineral conditions in the soil, maintaining consistent sensitivity without manual ground-balance adjustments. This makes the detector usable across a wider range of soil types and environments without retuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof Coil for Wet Terrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included 8-inch coil is waterproof, allowing detection in shallow water, wet grass, muddy ground, and other challenging surfaces where a non-waterproof coil would be at risk. The coil is also interchangeable, so users can swap it out if a different size or type is needed for a specific application. Padded armrests and ergonomic hand grips reduce fatigue during longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Control Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simplified interface accessible to beginners and experienced users alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Ground Trac:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continuously adjusts to soil mineral conditions for consistent detection without manual tuning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Waterproof Coil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performs in wet and challenging terrain; interchangeable for flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Hand Grips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for comfort during extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded Armrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces arm fatigue over long detecting sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoil Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoil Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof, interchangeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTwo operating controls\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGround Balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAutomatic Ground Trac\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Tracker IV suits hobbyist treasure hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and field users who want a straightforward detector that handles varied soil conditions and wet terrain without manual ground-balance adjustments.
