Bounty Hunter FAST All Metal, Discrimination, Operation, Applications, Tone Mode Audio Responses

OPERATION

Select the MODE OF OPERATION

The Fast Tracker has two operating modes, ALL METAL and DISCRIMINATION.

ALL METAL

To enter the ALL METAL mode, click the right knob (Discriminate) off, 100% counterclockwise. In the full counterclockwise position, you will detect all types of metal.

In the ALL METAL mode, your detector will emit only one tone, regardless of the type of metal detected. It will detect low-grade metals like iron (a nail) or aluminum (foil). It will also detect more valuable items like silver, copper, and gold.

APPLICATIONS:

Use the ALL METAL mode for household applications, such as finding property markers or lost objects like keys or machine parts.

ALL METAL is also useful for gold prospecting. Be aware that you need to search in an area where gold has been found in the past.

ALL METAL is also preferred for relic hunting. Many relics are made of iron. You must be in the ALL METAL mode to detect iron.

Maximum depth detection is achieved in the ALL METAL mode.

DISCRIMINATION

Click the Discriminate Control (right Knob) on to enter the DISCRIMINATION mode.

Discrimination is the elimination of certain metals from detection, and the classification of targeted metals using audio feedback. See chart below.

Old & New Pull Tabs Copper, Silver & Brass

As the chart illustrates, iron and steel will be discriminated out, inducing no audio response. Nickels and gold items will induce a low tone. Silver, copper, and brass will induce a high tone. Many pull-tabs (but not all) will induce a “broken” tone. To achieve the broken tone, set the discriminate control at the approximate center position, about 12:00.

Depth of detection is slightly reduced in the DISCRIMINATION mode.
