On occasion, digging medium tones may prove worthwhile. For instance, if you're hunting
the outfield of a ball field, there is some likelihood that a "Pull Tab" reading may be a
worthwhile target. Try to use a little deduction when deciding when and when not to dig a
questionable target. It is seldom that someone is going to open a soda can in the outfield of
a baseball field. Yet, there is a good possibility rings are lost from attempting to catch that
fly ball or even throwing the ball and the ring on their finger with it. As is expected, you will
still find some pull-tabs in the outfield of a ball field.
One of the most difficult items to detect is a gold chain. Considering that the gold chain is not
likely to be bunched up when lost, there is very little target area for the detector to hit. The
only effective approach to detecting gold chains is hunting in the ALL METALS mode.
Unfortunately, having to dig every trash item makes it very impractical. Some small gold
rings can also be difficult to detect in the DISC mode, making the ALL METALS a better
mode of operation for specialized jewelry hunting.
In conclusion, when looking for gold jewelry items expect to dig a lot of pull-tabs. Even
when only digging the "Nickel" readings, you will encounter many pull-tabs in your efforts.
GOLD PROSPECTING
Metal detectors have been instrumental in creating another gold rush in the last two
decades. Older gold mines that have long closed down have reopened using metal
detectors as the main tool for gold retrieval. Today, metal detectors are used in every
aspect of gold prospecting. From searching out the mother lode to finding "placer"
deposits, metal detectors have been found to be indispensable.
The most important approach to gold prospecting, especially if you're a novice, would be
lots of research. It's a good idea to spend some time understanding how gold forms and
where you're likely to find it through research. The Bounty Hunter metal detector comes
standard with a waterproof coil allowing for more versatility when gold prospecting. A lot of
nuggets and flakes of gold are discovered in stream beds. These nuggets and flakes
usually originated from an outcrop in higher regions that were washed down by rain to be
eventually carried away by streams-called alluvial gold. When prospecting with a metal
detector it is very difficult to find the flakes of gold because of their small size. Nuggets are
easily detected and can be found in stream beds, especially where a stream slows down
or takes a sharp turn. Gold nuggets usually will accumulate in these areas because of its
limited buoyancy and flakes will usually be carried further downstream.
Gold nuggets can also be found in dry river beds, mountain sides, and even in deserts.
How many nuggets you find will be dependent on how serious you are about acquiring the
necessary knowledge to make it a profitable hobby and on how willing you're to work
diligently at it.
Gold prospecting poses totally different challenges than coin-shooting or jewelry hunting.
Utilizing a metal detector to retrieve gold is still a relatively new art form. Requiring patience
and stamina that no other metal detecting application can compete with, gold nugget
shooting will test your perseverance. All of the Bounty Hunters can be utilized for gold
prospecting; even so, there are different levels of performance offered by each model. For
instance, prospecting with the Quick Draw or the Sharp Shooter would be at a hobby level;
prospecting with the Big Bud Select 220-D can be performed at a professional level.
Manual ground balancing on the Select 220-D allows for more manipulation than the
automatic ground balancing offered on the Quick Draw and Sharp Shooter.
