1) Do Not Use Indoors. Household appliances generate
electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with the detector.
If demonstrating indoors, turn the sensitivity down and keep the
search coil away from floors, walls, and metal objects.
2) Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low setting in the event of false
signals or chatter. A little practice is required to understand
when and how to position the sensitivity at or near 100%.
3) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.
4) Please read this manual.

  • Page 1 OWNER’S MANUAL Your Surveyor is an advanced technology Metal Detector. If you are new to the hobby or have never used a metal detector before, we recommend that you: 1) Do Not Use Indoors. Household appliances generate electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with the detector.

  • Page 3: Terminology

    When “ground balanced”, the detector can differentiate between the metallic content of the soil, and buried metal objects. Professional metal detectors, like your Bounty Hunter, have the ability to ground balance in many different types of soils.

  • Page 4: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY No tools are required. Follow these steps: Unpack your detector and find the following parts: •Detector body, attached to S-rod handle and search coil. •Lower stem (short metal tube with plastic extension and silver bottom). • (2) Coil knobs. One with a shaft attached, one without.

  • Page 5: Operation

    •The coil must be in motion to detect SWEEP metal. Your Surveyor incorporates •Swing the coil slowly, from side to motion detection technology. side. The coil must be in motion to motionless search coil will not detect detect metal.

  • Page 6: Operating Modes And Controls

    OPERATING MODES AND CONTROLS The Surveyor has Two Operating Modes ALL-METALS a. All metals are detected b. Single tone response, regardless of metal type c. Maximum depth detection capability Operating Controls DISCRIMINATION knob does not apply APPROXIMATE DISCRIMINATION APPLICATIONS POSITIONS Utility applications for finding all types of metal.

  • Page 7: Usage Tips

    USAGE TIPS TONE RESPONSE With practice in the field, you will learn to classify buried objects according to the different tones and the clarity and repeatability of the tones. Only dig up targets that induce repeatable tones. Each time you pass the search coil over a possible target, you should hear the same tone.

  • Page 8: Utility Applications

    USAGE TIPS (continued) DISCRIMINATION CONTROL In the DISC mode, as you rotate the DISCRIMINATION knob clockwise, more types of metals are eliminated from detection. Discrimination is a cumulative elimination system; objects eliminated at a low setting remain eliminated at higher settings. SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT Use the SENSITIVITY knob to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

  • Page 9: Hobby Applications

    HOBBY APPLICATIONS The Surveyor is a great tool that may also be used for many hobby applications as described below. COINSHOOTING The most popular metal detecting application. When coinshooting, you want to discriminate out pull-tabs, screw caps, and iron objects. Beware that highly oxidized steel may also be detected.
