INTRODUCTION
The Fortune Hunter is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for a
variety of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose
detecting.
Before using your Fortune Hunter, it is important to read these instructions. This
manual's description of detection
concepts and types of metals is
necessary to avoid frustration if
you are new to the hobby of metal
detecting.
Terminology
Elimination — Reference to a metal or
target being "eliminated" means that
the detector will not emit a tone nor
light up an LCD indicator when an
object is in the coil's detection field.
Discrimination
detector emits different tones for
different types of metals, and when
the detector "eliminates" certain
metals, we
refer to this as the
detector "discriminating" among
different types of objects.
Iron — Iron is a common, low-grade
metal which is often an undesirable
target. Examples of undesirable iron
objects are old cans, pipes, bolts,
and nails.
Relic — A relic is an aged object of
historical significance. Note that
many relics are made of iron, an
otherwise undesirable object in
some metal detecting applications.
Pull-tabs and Trash Items —
Discarded pull-tabs from beverage
containers are the most bothersome
items for professional and hobby
metal detectorists. These items are
generally constructed of aluminum,
iron, or steel. We have
therefore incorporated
special features into
the Fortune Hunter
to eliminate these
targets or to alert
you to their possible
presence.
