The first question that comes to mind is: Where to detect? Well, most pro detectorists got
their start hunting parks, swimming areas, or steelyards. If you've got a yard, start there. You
may be surprised at all the types of metal and coins laying in your own yard. If you've got a
manicured yard or hunting a manicured park, follow the "Trapdoor Method" recovery
technique listed in this chapter.
Tools and Set-Up:
A garden trowel is usually appropriate and sufficient for coin-shooting. This tool will require
you to pinpoint the target to avoid too much digging; in the process, you will be careful not
to leave any trace of your recovery holes. Most coins are found 6 inches or less in the
ground. With your garden trowel and your detector let's start by operating our detector in
the Auto Notch mode.
Coil Size:
Since we will start by detecting coins, utilize the smallest coil that you have. The Bounty
Hunter line offers four different size coils which can be used to good effect for different types
of applications. Refer to the chapter: ACCESSORIES. The ideal coil for coin-shooting in
trashy areas is the 4-Inch coil. The standard 8" or 7.25" coils work well when there isn't too
much trash. If you only have the 10" coil, expect a lot of erratic signals when attempting to
detect in any type of trash-ladened area. This includes yards, parks, swimming areas and
steelyards. To avoid this when coin-shooting, try to detect the middle of ball fields, soccer
fields, or football fields. Usually, there isn't as much trash in these types of areas, so you will
not get any erratic signals from your detector. For cache hunting or relic hunting in wide open
fields with sparse trash, the 10" coil is unmatched. A detector was designed to ID one type
of metal at a time; any time there is more than one piece of metal under the coil, the detector
will not know which metal to identify and will appear to be emitting erratic, false signals.
Quick Draw _ Press the NOTCH touchpad on top of the control box. The mode indicator
will now have an arrow over "NOTCH".
Sharp Shooter _ Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad on top of the control box.
Big Bud Select 220-D _ Turn the On/Off mode switch to the AUTO NOTCH position.
Make sure the toggle switch is in the DISC left position.
Other Bounty Hunters _ The same instructions under the Select 220-D applies.
Other settings to utilize: Sensitivity at about three-quarters of a turn. Disc/Notch control
completely counterclockwise.
In this mode of operation, the Quick Draw, Sharp Shooter, Big Bud XL and Select 220-D
will emit a high , medium or low tone depending on where the Disc/Notch variable control is
set at. This control has now turned into an Auto Notch Width control on these particular units.
On the Big Bud SE, SED, and Select 220, a high and low tone will only be emitted. In
starting off, we will only focus on the high tones that are repeatable. After turning the unit on
and adjusting your detector to the previous settings stated for each model, we will make a
slow half-circle swing. You will probably notice, as you're making this swing, some faint
signals and maybe one or two loud signals. If not, take a step forward and do another half-
circle swing. When you do hear a signal, try to isolate the spot where the signal was being
emitted. Now carefully shorten your swing over the same spot to determine if it's a
repeatable signal. We will only dig repeatable signals since most faint non-repeatable
signals are trash metal.
