Bounty Hunter junior [6/8] Adjusting sensitivity

Sensitivity and Target Elimination

Adjusting Sensitivity

The left knob clicks on to power the detector on.

After turning on, the left knob is used to control the detector’s sensitivity level. In

the 100% clockwise position, the detector is at maximum sensitivity. At this

level, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, like a quarter, up to 5” away

from the coil. Very large metal objects will be detected up to one and one-half

feet from the search coil at maximum sensitivity.

Reduce the sensitivity if the detector chatters or emits false signals; your detector

is probably reacting to electromagnetic interference.

Target Elimination

The right knob is used to eliminate unwanted metals from detection.

For instance, you may be searching for coins, and want to eliminate objects like

nails, bolts, or pull-tabs from detection.

As you turn the right knob clockwise, you progressively eliminate different types

of metals from detection. As you rotate the right knob, you first eliminate iron

objects from detection. Iron objects include nails, bolts, old cans, and tools.

Next, you eliminate nickels, pull-tabs, and finally zinc pennies.

Gold is also eliminated from detection with the right knob. First smaller gold

objects are eliminated; as you rotate the knob further, larger gold objects are

eliminated. Silver objects, like high-value coins, are not eliminated from

detection.

Refer to this scale for the relative positions at which different types of metals are

eliminated from detection:
