Audio & Visual References/What to Listen and Watch For
Usually when a target emits all three tones in the DISC mode, it's not worth digging. Even if
the target emits two tones it's likely trash metal; although, deeper targets will usually emit
more than one tone. There are occasions where a good target will emit a false tone but still
emit the single true tone most of the time.
When the target ID meter locks in on one item and the tone remains consistent, you'll likely
have a worthy target. If the pitch is high but weak instead of bell-like, then it is usually caused
by oxidized metal such as cans, iron scrap, bottle caps, etc.
If you hear a double-signal, two tones emitted with one sweep, it is more than likely that the
target is shallow. By lifting your coil another inch or two above the target, the double-signal
should be eliminated.
While pinpointing, you may notice that the tone is emitted across a larger area than is usual
with coins-this could mean that it is a can or possibly even a large piece of scrap metal. As
of, when coin-shooting, I've never dug a large tone to find something truly worthwhile other
than auto parts, cans, pipes, etc.
Essentially, when coin-shooting, look for repeatable signals, Target ID's on the meter that
do not jump around, a short bell-like tone that emits only within a small area, and one tone
instead of two or three different tones.
By following these guidelines, you will minimize the time you would have spent digging
trash items while applying the retrieved lost time to digging treasure.
The Low Tone Blues
The three-tone target ID on the Bounty Hunter series allows for a reference point by audio
output. You will normally be digging only the low and the high tones while ignoring medium
tones except on special occasion.
The most difficult differentiation to make is when to dig a low tone. Low tones can be items
such as beaver tails (broken in half pull-tabs), foil, scrunched-up pull-tabs, oxidized pull-
tabs, nickels, and on rare occasion gold rings. You will have to combine different strategies
to determine when and when not to dig a low tone. To develop this technique further
requires a lot of practice and experimentation.
What variables are necessary to determine when and when not to dig a low tone?
1. Where you're hunting-
Where you're hunting will predetermine whether digging low tones would be worth the
effort. When hunting a heavily trashed area, with thousands of pull-tabs to contend with,
digging every low tone can be frustrating. Although, hunting in a swimming area or sandbox
usually proves worthwhile to dig low tones.
2. Where the target ID lands-
Careful observation of your Target ID Meter/Readout is great assistance when determining
whether to dig the low tones. When the Meter/Readout indicates foil while emitting a low
tone, you'll find accuracy is a law of averages that can only be determined by practice and
experimentation.
