Quick-Start Demo - Bounty Hunter Ultra Mag Sharp Shooter Owner's Manual

QUICK-START DEMO

I. SUPPLIES NEEDED
• A Nail
• A small piece of aluminum foil
• A large screwdriver or other large iron object
• A zinc penny (dated after 1982)
II. POSITION THE DETECTOR
a. Place the detector on a table, with the
search coil hanging over the
edge.
(or better, have a friend hold the
detector, with the coil off the
ground)
b. Keep the search coil away from walls,
floors, and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry or metal objects from hands
and wrists.
d. Turn off appliances or lights that cause electromagnetic interference.
e. Pivot search coil to a position
parallel to the ground.
III. POWER UP
a. Turn the detector on and turn
the sensitivity knob to the 3:00
position.
b. Press the GroundTrac touchpad.
IV. HOLD OBJECTS OVER SEARCH COIL
a. Notice the single tone, regardless of the object.
b. Motion is not required. The detector will emit sound whenever a metal
object is over the search coil.
V. ENTER DISCRIMINATION MODE
a. Press the DISC touchpad.
b. Move the Disc/Notch Knob
100% counterclockwise.
VI. WAVE OBJECTS OVER SEARCH COIL
a. Wave coins with flat surface parallel to coil. This is how you'll find them
buried in the ground.
b. Notice the different tones.
c. Watch the LCD indicator for target identification.
VII. DISCRIMINATE
a. Wave the nail and slowly turn the Disc/Notch Knob clockwise until the
nail is eliminated.
b. Continue eliminating objects one-by-one, by turning the Disc/Notch Knob
clockwise as you wave each object. Stop turning after the zinc penny is
eliminated.
c. The objects will be eliminated in approximately this order:
1) Nail 2) ScrewDriver
6 6
• Nickel
• Dime
• Quarter
3) Foil 4) Nickel 5) Zinc Penny
IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
After selecting your operating mode,
swing the search coil gently side-to-
side, slightly overlapping each sweep
as you move forward. Make sure you
keep your search coil approximately 1
inch above the ground as you search.
Raising it in the sweep, or at the ends
of your sweep, will cause false read-
ings. Move slowly; hurrying will
cause you to miss targets.
Most good objects will respond
with a good repeatable signal.
If a signal does not
repeat after swinging
the coil directly over
the suspected target a
few times, it is more
than likely trash
metal. False signals
can be caused by
trashy ground,
electrical
interference,
or by large
irregular

objects. These signals are easily
recognized by their often broken or
non-repeatable nature.
The Ultra Mag Sharp Shooter is a
very sensitive and deep-seeking
detector. It will respond loudly to
many targets that other detectors
would only detect with a weak
signal. Because of this, trash-in-
duced signals and other sources of
interference may cause signals that
seem confusing. The key to
managing these false signals is to
dig only those targets that emit a
strong repeatable signal. As you
sweep the search coil back and
forth over the ground, learn to
recognize the difference between
the signals that occur at random
and signals that are stable and re-
peatable.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short overlapping
sweeps. To prevent erratic signals
and difficult pinpointing in trashy
areas, consider purchasing
the Bounty Hunter
4-Inch Gold Nugget Coil.
