1. Trashy Areas: Because of the many pull-tabs in trash-ladened areas, it's usually best to
hunt in the NOTCH or AUTO NOTCH mode. The reason being is that the pull-tab medium
signals will start driving you nuts. In these modes of operation, you will eliminate most of the
tones for pull-tabs and bring in all of your nickels at a low tone. Many low tones will still bring
up balls of foil, scrunched up pull-tabs, the beaver tails (pull-tabs broken in half) and other
small aluminum items.
Coil Recommendation: Use the 4" Coil if at all possible. The 7.25" or 8" will suffice but
expect some erratic signals. Do not even attempt to use the 10" coil system.
2. Moderately Trashy Areas: The DISC mode will perform well since you don't have to
deal with as many medium tones being emitted by pull-tabs. If you want to pick up mainly
coins, and are not concerned with gold rings, turn your DISC/NOTCH variable control up
until a sound is no longer being emitted by pull-tabs. The detector will only emit high tones
for copper, silver, and brass items. Some oxidized iron and cans will still be detected and
cannot be completely eliminated.
Coil Recommendation: The 7.25" or 8" will perform well since you will be able to cover
more area than with the 4". Even then, the 4" will still perform excellent in moderately trashy
areas as well. The 10" may suffice depending on the level of trash. Do not expect your
Bounty Hunter to ID more than one target under the coil at a time. Because of the 10"
diameter, it's difficult to avoid sweeping the coil over more than one item at a time.
3. Minimum Trashy Areas: Again, the DISC mode of operation would perform well. Be
sure not to waste your time digging medium tones unless you have suspect that it's a
valuable target.
Coil Recommendation: The 10" will perform well since the trash would be sparse; be
aware though, pinpointing a coin is difficult with the 10" Coil; however, there is a tradeoff of
additional depth. The 7.25" and 8" would also work well. The 4" would be impractical since it
would take many sweeps before making a hit. Even then, I still consider the 4" the ultimate
coin-shooting coil.
Quick Draw _ Both the DISC and the NOTCH are good coin-shooting modes. The
NOTCH on the Quick Draw is the same mode as the AUTO NOTCH on the other Bounty
Hunters. By adjusting the AUTO NOTCH width control clockwise, zinc pennies will be
eliminated along with some screw caps, etc.
Sharp Shooter, Big Bud Select 220-D and Other Bounty Hunters _ All three modes:
DISC, NOTCH and AUTO NOTCH, can be used effectively for coin-shooting. The type
of area you're hunting would determine which mode would be ideal. If you're only wanting
to detect silver and copper coins, use the DISC mode with the DISC/NOTCH control
turned clockwise around "Pull Tab" or higher. This will eliminate most trash metal while
detecting mostly coins.
NOTCH MODE:
The NOTCH can be used if you're hunting an area with one type of recurring pull-tab and
you want to bring in your nickels. To properly adjust the NOTCH, start with the
DISC/NOTCH variable control at around the "Pull Tab" indication and turn slowly
counterclockwise until it disappears. Be very careful to turn in small increments since you
may accidentally eliminate your nickels if turned too far.
