AUTO NOTCH MODE:
The AUTO NOTCH can be used if you do not want to go through the trouble of manually
adjusting for pull-tab elimination on the DISC/NOTCH variable control. Be aware, that a
small percentage of pull-tabs will still emit a low tone and indicate "Nickel" on the ID readout.
Pinpointing when Coin-Shooting:
The no-motion ALL METALS mode can be used for pinpointing in minimal to moderately
trashy areas. If an area has a lot of trash around the coin, the ALL METALS will constantly
go off making it difficult to isolate the target you had originally detected in the DISC mode. If
you have a manual ground adjust, as on the Big Bud Select 220 series, you can detune or
desensitize your unit. The surrounding trash metal will no longer affect the detector's signals
making it simple to isolate the original target detected in the DISC mode. To do this, simply
turn the ground adjust knob further counterclockwise from the point where it normally ground
balances. This type of detuning is essentially only overcompensating for the mineral
conditions you're hunting in, which in turn decreases sensitivity. None of this applies to the
Quick Draw. The Quick Draw does not have a no-motion ALL METALS mode; motion is
required to detect a target. On this unit, as on all Bounty Hunters, the ALL METALS is still
effective for determining if a false signal is oxidized iron.
JEWELRY HUNTING
Jewelry hunting can be very elusive. I've gone out on days with full intentions of finding
rings and not finding one. And then, on other days, I've found upwards of 14 rings in one
day! Jewelry can consist of all types of metal, especially silver and gold. To properly set
up our detector for jewelry hunting, we will orient all settings to bring in the gold items. The
silver will still be detected if we are digging our high tones with indications on the readout
from "Penny/Dime" to "$1". To eliminate a good percentage of trash metal, we will ignore all
of our "Pull Tab" readings-unless you have suspicion/intuition that it's a valuable target. The
small percentage of gold rings that fall in the "Pull Tab" range does not make it worth digging
thousands of pull-tabs. I've found that 85%-90% of the gold rings I've encountered, both in
the field and air testing, will read "Nickel"; larger 10k Gold Rings, like class rings, will read at
"Zinc Penny". One day I decided to experiment with this and dug every "Pull Tab"
indication emitted-Not one gold ring-only hundreds of pull-tabs.
Quick Draw _ The DISC mode would be preferable for jewelry hunting. The NOTCH,
being really an AUTO NOTCH on the Quick Draw, would work well in certain circumstances,
especially heavy trash-ladened areas. In both modes, keep the DISC/NOTCH variable
control, full low, turned completely counterclockwise. This will guarantee that most precious
metal will not go by undetected. Dig only the low tones-medium tones if the meter indicates
"Zinc Penny". All medium tones with the "Pull Tab" indication should be ignored unless you
want to work very hard at finding that particular gold ring that falls in that range.
Sharp Shooter, Big Bud Select 220-D,
and Other Bounty Hunters _ All three modes: DISC, NOTCH and AUTO NOTCH, can be
used effectively for jewelry hunting. The type of area you're hunting would determine which
mode would be ideal. Remember, keep your DISC/NOTCH control turned completely
counterclockwise to insure that you're not missing most valuable targets.
