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 only
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
trash

objects. These signals are easily
recognized by their often broken or
non-repeatable nature.
The Lone Star 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-induced 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 repeatable.
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 System.

• A nickel (5¢) • Small piece of aluminum foil
II. Position your Lone Star
• Place the detector on a table, with the search coil hanging over the edge.
• Be sure that the search coil is far away from walls or metal objects.
Keep the search coil away from any metal in the table.
• Turn off appliances or lights which cause electromagnetic interference
III. Beginning Switch Settings
• Right Knob (DISC/NOTCH) —
100% counterclockwise to low
• Left Knob (SENSITIVITY) —
click on and set to 3:00 (3/4 turn)
• Do not press any touchpads
IV. All Metal Detection
A. Wave all objects under the search coil
• NOTICE THE SINGLE TONE
V. Discriminate Mode
A. Press the DISC touchpad
B. Turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) to the 12:00 position.
C. Wave all objects under the search coil.
• NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES
• NOTICE THE METALS ELIMINATED
D. Move the DISC/NOTCH control to different positions and eliminate the
penny from detection.
VI. Auto Notch Mode
A. Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad
B. Right knob (DISC/NOTCH) 100% counterclockwise to low
C. Wave all objects under the search coil while
slowly turning the right knob clockwise.
