Metal Detecting Applications | Bounty Hunter FAST instruction

METALDETECTINGAPPLICATIONS

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 1800’s 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.
