Bounty Hunter 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil
Improve target separation and search tight, trash-heavy areas with the Bounty Hunter 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil.
This compact search coil is designed for compatible Bounty Hunter metal detectors and is especially useful when searching locations where larger coils can struggle to separate closely spaced targets.
Its small 4-inch footprint makes it an excellent choice for gold prospecting, jewelry hunting, coin hunting, trash-heavy sites, and confined detecting areas.
The coil is also waterproof, allowing you to search wet grass, muddy terrain, shorelines, and shallow water while keeping your detector's control housing within its specified water-resistance limits.

Who Is This 4" Search Coil Best For?
The Bounty Hunter 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil is particularly useful for:
-
Gold prospecting
-
Small-target hunting
-
Coin hunting
-
Jewelry hunting
-
Trash-heavy parks
-
Old home sites
-
Playground equipment
-
Tight spaces
-
Around rocks and obstacles
-
Shorelines
-
Shallow-water detecting
Its greatest advantage is precision rather than maximum ground coverage.
Excellent Target Separation
In locations containing many closely spaced metallic objects, a large search coil can detect multiple targets within its detection area at the same time.
The compact 4" coil reduces the amount of ground being analyzed during each sweep.
This can make it easier to isolate desirable targets located close to:
-
Nails
-
Bottle caps
-
Foil
-
Pull tabs
-
Other metallic trash
For heavily hunted parks, old home sites, and other target-dense locations, this additional precision can be extremely useful.
Designed for Tight Spaces
The compact coil is also useful anywhere a larger search coil cannot be maneuvered effectively.
Use it around:
-
Playground equipment
-
Rocks
-
Tree roots
-
Fences
-
Foundations
-
Tight corners
-
Other obstacles
Its smaller physical size lets you place the coil closer to difficult areas and search locations that may be awkward with a standard-size coil.
Gold Nugget & Small-Target Hunting
Bounty Hunter markets this compact accessory as a Gold Nugget Search Coil.
Its small footprint makes it useful when searching for small targets and when precise coil placement is important.
Actual detection performance depends on the detector being used, target size and orientation, soil mineralization, sensitivity settings, and environmental conditions.
Waterproof Search Coil
The Bounty Hunter 4" Search Coil is designed for detecting in wet environments.
It can be used for searching:
-
Wet grass
-
Mud
-
Shorelines
-
Shallow water
-
Streams
-
Damp soil
Important: The search coil being waterproof does not mean your detector's control housing is waterproof. Always follow the water-resistance specifications for your specific detector.
4" Coil vs. Larger Search Coils
The 4" coil serves a different purpose from larger 8", 10", 11", and 12" coils.
Choose the 4" Coil When You Want:
-
Better separation in dense trash
-
Precise target location
-
Better maneuverability
-
Access to confined areas
-
Small-target searching
Choose a Larger Coil When You Want:
-
More ground coverage per sweep
-
Faster searching across open areas
-
Better suitability for large fields and beaches
For many detectorists, the 4" coil works as a specialized companion to their standard search coil rather than a replacement for every detecting situation.

Why Choose the Bounty Hunter 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil?
The Bounty Hunter 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil is designed for situations where precision and target separation matter more than maximum ground coverage.
Its compact footprint makes it particularly useful in trash-heavy sites, around obstacles, and in confined areas where larger coils can be difficult to maneuver.
It is also a practical accessory for detectorists searching for small targets or wanting greater control over exactly where their detector is searching.
For compatible Bounty Hunter metal detectors, the 4" Gold Nugget Search Coil is a useful specialized coil to keep alongside your standard search coil.
