Bounty Hunter FASTTRACKER Fast Tracker Metal Detector for $4.99
Bounty Hunter's Fast Tracker detector offers the excitement and profit of metal detecting at an accessible price, making it ideal for those just getting started. With an adjustable 7-inch Bounty D-Tech search coil and advanced circuitry for power and control, the Fast Tracker will help you hit pay dirt in no time. The Fast Tracker does not have the LCD that many of Bounty Hunter's other models boast, so detection is done by audio output only. However, the Fast Tracker's dual-tone audio discrimination, motion all-metals mode, automatic ground balance, audible low-battery alert, built-in speaker, and headphone jack make it a tremendous value. The lightweight S-rod features a comfort-grip handle with a stand for those long hours of treasure hunting. Users will also enjoy Bounty Hunter's comprehensive, easy-to-understand online tutorial and downloadable manual. The Fast Tracker requires two 9-volt alkaline batteries and boasts a five-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
Awesome deal. Not the best on the market, obviously, but I'm in for 4.
I find the name of this item somewhat... inaccurate.
It's a metal detector. The things it is detecting are buried, and immobile. Therefore, it needs to be neither 'fast' nor 'track' its quarry, but rather simply find them.
'Deep-Seeker' might be a better name.
Read through the reviews and someone stated they got it for I think $84 shipped. So this is defintely a deal. Bought one for myself and another as a gift for my nephew.
Yes, it's an insanely good deal. If you look around it's about $90 elsewhere. (Ex: $90 at J&R http://www.jr.com/bounty-hunter/pe/BHR_FAST/) Let's just hope we don't all get the lip gloss or cosmetics that some of the Amazon reviewers said they were sent instead of the metal detector!
Seems to good to be true.
I do hope I don't get any cosmetics! :o
@timaishu: Looks like it won't be shipped in time as x-mas gifts, but I'm still in for 3 as late gifts at this price. Hope I don't get ripped. But it's through Amazon, so they should make things right if goHastings goesBust.
@alexmg2420: Yea… saw the same thing and was a bit hesitant. I noticed they were all from the same timeframe (April 2009), so it may have been a temporary mix-up. At $11.98 per item (shipped), it is worth a try.
I'm in 4 one- bait and switch reviews are almost 2 years old... and if they do I have the credit card to back me as well as Amazon- not worried- worth the "risk" for such a deal!!
Gohastings has been shipping stuff Ilooking at there recent amazon orders) but mostly dvd's books etc. I couldn't find this item on there main website.
B/c if this price is for reals, I'm buying 20! The resale profit would be glorious.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
In for 1
Even if it sucks I could always use it to try and find my keys.
/shrug
goHastings is a great company. It is a weird product for them to have, but the cheapest one of these at Walmart is still $50 or so. Why not give it a try!
Just bought 2. My first impulse buy on the internet :) (Though I have researched Bounty Hunter in the past)
Well, I'm ordering six and crossing my fingers. If all goes well I'll have a few to trade for dollars on craigslist.
>> Detects Coin-Size Objects Up To 7" Deep
not worth anything
@jeffreyhasmail: If I would venture to guess, rings and other jewelry won't be buried beneath 7 inches of sand for the most part.
in for 3...figure I can flip 1 on Craigslist for the cost of the 3 plus shipping...
first time shopper, i have checked in the stores and these are/can be quite a bit more in cost, I just don't like giving the credit card onlline.
@marlaktr: IF you don't like giving credit card online...you have come to the wrong place. Most Wooters give out their CC number online 4-10 times a day. We are online hoarders. Woot is to us, what QVC was to our grandparents.
How random... I'm going to find me some meteors!
Tempted, but last good review was in 2007... too good to be true.
god its so sad but true
ive become my grandmother...
Shoot, Amazon is saying these are sold out.
Amazon says $72.78.

Ordered one not long after this deal was posted. Checked my email just now, order was cancelled. I thought it seemed too good to be true. Oh well.
I just ordered one.
and I just clicked on the link and it says to be signed up to be notified when this item becomes available. I guess I got lucky.
just went over to amazon with the link and it says $74 and some change. Where's the deal?
@fisherwoman777: Get out of bed before 8:30 and you might get some ;)
It's been pull off.... Bummer
Total scam do not order, this is what you get
Qty Title Format
1 Lip Shimmer Champagn Make-Up/Jewelry
@rogernhoover: What's the matter "Shimmer Champagne" not your color?
I got mine, all 5 of them, order looks good so far.
Just clicked the deal and amazon has "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."
C'est la vie
My order was canceled. They canceled a shipment of lip gloss, not the metal detector.
But I WANT the lip gloss. Jokes on them! ha!
Just got an e-mail from them saying thanks for the order for Lip Shimmer Champagn Make-Up/Jewelry????????? I sure hope I don't get Make-Up in the mail!!!
@things4all: I got the same thing... I'm going to call them when I get out of class
I ordered mine at 5:30 am and just received an order confirmation for lip gloss...CRAP!
Why is this item not available?
@lasibigtroth: Cuz we bought all the Lip Gloss they had!!
@karabethjg: Nice try "people-who-want-me-to-cancel-my-order-to-put-more-back-in-stock"
Next time wake up earlier .. like they say, u snooze u lose.
I originally ordered 3 but went back in and ordered 500 to resell em when I realized just how good a deal this was.
It better not be lip gloss.
I ordered 1 this morning and just received my acknowledgment that I bought Lip Shimmer as well...guess the jokes on all of us........
They are scamming hard. I ordered one and got an email thanking me for a lip gloss order. I raised an immediate fuss and asked for them to cancel that crap. Quicker than you can say failboat they had the order out of the system so someone screwed the pooch on this and then they tried to send us makeup.
got mine as well, no prob.
Got an email for my lip shimmer....used Amazon to send a message to the seller. Got an email back from the seller saying it may take them awhile to email me back..but I could call.
I called, gave them my order number...she said that they don't even carry the metal detector and it was an unfortunate mistake. She apologized and canceled my order.
I am waiting to see if it was actually canceled...however, everyone waiting for a metal detector is just going to have shiny lips to show for it.
Here is the text from their email with the phone number:
