METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS
COIN SHOOTING
Searching for coins is the most popular metal detecting application. We receive testimonials
every day from BOUNTY HUNTER users finding very old coins many times from the
1800s or earlier in old school yards, parks, and even their own back yards.
To adjust your detector for coin shooting, you want to click on the ALL METAL control
knob to about the 1:00 position. Find an older pull tab, and adjust the discrimination
control to the point where you hear a broken, in-between, sound. At this setting,
you have eliminated all iron objects, and will be aware of the presence of pull tabs,
as they usually induce this broken tone.
Long-buried coins can often be detected deeper than newer coins. As an old coin
oxidizes, it creates a magnetic halo in the soil, effectively increasing the size of its
magnetic signature, and its detectability.
JEWELRY HUNTING
Keep the discrimination control at the 11:00 setting for jewelry hunting. Many gold
rings will register similar to pull-tabs. Beware that you will dig up many pull tabs in
the search for gold rings. Both pull-tabs and gold rings can induce a low tone. Keep
the discrimination control at the lower, 11:00, setting so that you do not eliminate
small gold rings from detection.
Some gold rings can induce a double beep whereas most pull-tabs will not. To
achieve the double beep, move the coil very slowly over the buried target at differing
angles. You can sometimes achieve a double beep as the search coil passes over
two sides of the ring.
Necklaces can be very difficult to detect. Silver rings will induce a high tone. Highly
oxidized trash items can also induce high tones.
RELIC HUNTING
A relic is a historical object, sometimes of great value. Relics are often made of iron or
bronze. Therefore, keep your discrimination control turned off, in the 100%
counterclockwise position. In this ALL METAL mode, you will detect all types of metal,
including trash items. You must limit you relic-hunting activity to areas where you have
a reasonable suspicion of finding an ancient object. Visit the local library to learn of
historical events which occurred in the area. Remember to always obtain permission
before searching property which is not your own.
CACHE HUNTING
A cache, pronounced cash, is a hidden store of valuables. Years ago, many people
stashed valuables in cans, bags, and metal chests. They often buried them or hid them
in the walls or floors of their homes. Search old homes or camp sites to locate caches.
Caches are very rare and hard to find. Cache hunting requires the ALL METAL mode;
so keep the discrimination control turned off.
HOUSEHOLD APPLICATIONS
Lost keys or machine parts, underground pipes, and property markers can all be located
using the ALL METAL mode. Keep the discrimination control in the off position.
