Hopefully, in other circumstances, you may find that an empty lot or a farmer's field exists
where the historical event took place. Remember, have respect for private property and
gain permission from the owner of the land before detecting.
Never hunt a state or federal park unless you obtain permission from the proper authorities.
When acquiring permission, be sure to write down their names. These areas are usually off
limits to detecting, rock hunting, fossil hunting, etc. Good areas to hunt for relics can be old
abandoned homes, plowed fields, remote woodlands, mountains, ghost towns, mining
camps (be extremely careful when hunting around mine shafts) and if your home is fairly
old, in your own backyard. Again, it is advised to always gain permission when hunting
private property.
How To Set Up Your Detector for Relic Hunting:
Considering many relics are made of iron, you will have to operate in the ALL METALS
mode. The Bounty Hunter will eliminate most iron in the DISC mode. Unless the iron has
oxidized from sitting in the ground many years, you will not get a signal in the DISC mode.
Quick Draw _ Push the "ALL METALS" touchpad and make sure the indicator arrow is over
the "ALL METALS" position. The unit will still require motion to detect a target; iron will now
be detected.
Sharp Shooter _ Push the "ALL METALS" touchpad and make sure the indicator arrow is
over the "ALL METALS" position. The unit does not require motion to detect a target; iron
objects will now be detected.
Big Bud Select 220-D _ Push the toggle switch to the center "ALL METALS" position.
Follow the procedure outlined in your manual for proper ground balancing. The unit does not
require motion to detect a target; iron objects will now be detected.
Other Bounty Hunters _ For units with manual ground balance, follow the procedure under
the Select 220-D. For units with automatic ground balance, follow the procedure under
Sharp Shooter.
CACHE HUNTING
A cache (rhymes with "stash") is anything of value that is usually hidden or buried to prevent
theft. Many eccentrics who didn't trust in banks, of course you don't have to be an eccentric
to not to trust in banks today, would hide their life savings near their homestead-for instance,
buried on their property under the old oak tree. Burying their valuables was safer than hiding
them in their home where a burglar would expect to find it. In attempting to pinpoint where a
cache is located near a homestead, use your deductive powers. Where would you hide
your savings if you lived on this property? Next to the second fence post to the left of the
gate? Under the bedroom window where you could keep a vigilance when sleeping? How
about behind the large stone next to the well? By attempting to deduce the primary cache
hiding spots, you're gaining the ingenuity required of the avid detectorist.
To approach cache hunting, as many detectorists have erroneously done, in the DISC
mode is completely futile. There is only one way to detect for caches: In the ALL METALS
mode! This can be frustrating when hunting in a heavily trashed area since all trash will emit a
signal.
