This may seem a little confusing at first; but, with practice, you will tune into the good signals
and separate them from the faint non-repeatable signals. After finding your first repeatable
solid signal, we will then attempt to properly pinpoint the target. Try drawing an "X" over the
spot where the tone is being emitted. If the target appears large, it may be something
other than a coin such as a soda can (these can oxidize and cause the detector to ID it as a
penny/dime or quarter), a toy, a sprinkler head (since most of them are made of brass, the
detector will identify it as a copper or silver coin), or even possibly a pipe (usually this is
rare since most pipe is eliminated in the DISC mode). Now that we've determined the
center point of where the target is located, we can begin recovering the target.
Always dig around the outside of the center point of the target to avoid damaging the target
with the sharp point of your spade. As we remove the soil, we will then go back over the
spot to determine if the coin is still in the hole. If we're no longer getting a tone, then we
should sweep the coil over the removed dirt to see if we hadn't already dug the object. If
we're no longer getting a tone over the hole, or over the mound of dirt removed, there
usually is a reason:
1. The target is still in the hole but out of detection range. This can occur when digging the
target; it may have fallen from your spade deeper into the hole. To solve this, simply
remove more dirt from the bottom of the hole and check the dirt removed with your
detector.
2. The target was made of iron and had caused your detector to emit a good signal by
creating a halo effect. Once the halo effect was dispersed by the digging, the signal usually
no longer exists. Sometimes, you can determine if this is true by going into your ALL
METALS mode of operation and seeing if the object can be detected.
3. The target is buried very deep and would have normally been out of the range of the
detector except that it had increased its conductivity by leaving a small trail of oxidation as it
fell deeper into the ground over the years.
More than likely, you did not lose your signal and are probably holding your first retrieved
target from your metal detector. Let's not stop with this first target; we need to carefully
continue our hunt following the previous procedure. Dig only the high tones and ignore the
low tones for now. Our goal is to become accustomed to our detector and how it reacts on
coins. Later, we will cover in detail what to expect from low tones and medium tones in the
DISC mode.
HOW DEEP DOES MY DETECTOR GO?
The first question posed by the novice detectorist is: How deep does my detector go?
There are a lot of factors that come into play when determining the depth capability of a
detector. The following considerations, as they apply to the Bounty Hunter, may assist you
in gaining an idea of the many influences on depth capability.
1. Size of Object: This is the most important factor that will influence the depth of your
Bounty Hunter. For instance, you may only be able to detect a quarter at 6-8 inches but a
large container of hundreds of quarters can possibly be detected at 3 feet and upwards.
2. Matrix of the Soil: The mineral content of the soil you're detecting in will undoubtedly
affect the depth capability of your detector.
