Operating Instructions:
The HEADHUNTER PIRATE metal detector is one of the
simplest metal detectors to use. It employs fully
automated, ground balanced motion-discrimination
circuitry. The searchcoil must be in slight motion to
maintain audible target signal. The following is the basic
startup procedure for the PIRATE.
1. Turn the HEADHUNTER PIRATE power ON. Set Volume
to a level where you can hear target signals
comfortably. This can be accomplished by passing a coin
back and forth under the searchcoil.
2. Your HEADHUNTER PIRATE is equipped with a quality
"stay put" segmented potentiometer for the
Discrimination control. The Volume control is a
continuous turn control.
3. The next adjustment will be setting the Discrimination
level. After learning where unwanted items will be
discriminated out, you can adjust this before starting
your hunt. If you want to change Discrimination levels
once operating without having to view the control, just
simply count knob clicks from the "0" position. Again,
bench testing will teach you what click count setting
certain objects are eliminated from audio.
4. Swing your coil back and forth slowly over the ground
or surf beach. Keep the coil as close to the bottom as
possible. Solid sounding audio signals should always be
investigated. Pinpointing a target is accomplished by
raising the searchcoil off the target and slowing the
sweep until the audio signal is centered under the coil in
opposing sweep directions.
5. Retrieving targets submerged in water is more difficult
than on land. If you are wading in the surf, make sure
you use some kind of sand scoop. Always carry a small
"goody" bag to deposit and transport your finds. Please
remove and dispose of all trash you find. No one likes
digging it up more than once!
