Bounty Hunter Quick Silve Bedienungsanleitung

OWNER’S MANUAL

The

Quick

Silver is an

easy to use detector. The most difficult

aspects of metal detecting have been

automated.

However if you are new to the hobby, we strongly

recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the

event of false signals. The detector powers on a

3/4 sensitivity; increase to full sensitivity after you have

become familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many

household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can

interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,

turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from

appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.

If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.

Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such

as floors and walls.

3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo

(p.6) and Basic Operation (p. 8-12).

4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use Heavy Duty or ordinary Zinc-carbon Batteries.

TERMINOLOGY

The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard

terminology among detectorists.

ELIMINATION

Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will

not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object

passes through the coil’s detection field.

DISCRIMINATION

When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals,

and when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this

as the detector "discriminating" among different types of metals.

Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal

detectors. Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and

otherwise undesirable objects.

RELICA relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association

with the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made

of bronze or precious metals.

IRON Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in

certain metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron

objects are old cans, pipes, bolts, and nails.

Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers,

for instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of

iron; cannon balls, old armaments, and parts of old structures and

vehicles can also be composed of iron.

FERROUS

Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.

PINPOINTING

Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried

object. Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding

soil, and can therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.

PULL-TABS

Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most bothersome

trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes

and sizes. Pull-tabs can be discriminated, but some other valuable

objects can have a magnetic signature similar to pull-tabs, and will also

be eliminated when discriminating out pull-tabs.

GROUND BALANCE

Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see

through," the earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound

a tone when a metal object is detected.

ASSEMBLY

Armrest Strap (not included)

Some users prefer to use a strap

when swinging the detector

vigorously, in order to hold the

detector secure against the arm.

The strap may be purchased as

an optional accessory.

The detector can also be used

without the strap with no

compromise to detector balance

and stability under most

conditions.

ASSEMBLY

Assembling your Quick Silver Metal

Detector is easy and requires no

tools. Just follow these steps:

●

1Using the supplied bolt and

knurled knob, attach the

searchcoil to the lower stem.

●

Press the button on the upper end

of the lower stem and slide the

lower stem into the upper stem.

Adjust the stem to a length

that lets you maintain a com-

fortable upright posture, with

your arm relaxed at your

side. Maintain the searchcoil

about 1 inch above the

ground as you sweep.

●

3Wind the searchcoil cable

around the stem. Leave

enough slack in the cable to let

you adjust the coil when you

are hunting on uneven

ground. Then tighten the knob

at the end of the searchcoil.

Note:

To adjust the coil,

simply loosen the knob.

●

4Insert the coil’s plug into the

matching connector on the

control housing. Be sure the

holes and pins line up correctly.

Caution:

• Do not force the plug in.

Excess force will cause damage.

• To disconnect the cable, pull

out the plug. Do not pull on

the cable.

IMPORTANT: Always use ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use heavy duty batteries.

DON’T MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES

Always remove the batteries for prolonged storage.

CHECK THE BATTERIES if your detector exhibits any of the following

symptoms:

●

1The unit does not turn on.

●

2Low speaker volume.

●

Unit beeps continuously or erratically.

The LOW BATTERY indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries

are discharge. You may notice erratic beeping if using with LOW

BATTERY illuminated.

IMPORTANT: Your Quick Silver metal detector requires two 9-Volt

ALKALINE batteries.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

●

1Carefully remove the battery compartment door by pressing the release

clip on the right side of the door.

●

2Snap one battery

onto each of the

terminals and place

the batteries inside

the compartment.

Insert booth of the

batteries with

terminals facing

inward.

●

Replace the

compartment door

by carefully inserting

opposite side of clip

first. Then press

down on clip side

until battery door

snaps into place.

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION

I. Supplies Needed

• A Medium-Size Nail • A Quarter

•A Nickel • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982)

II. Position the Detector

a. Place the detector on a

table, with the searchcoil

hanging over the edge.

(or better, have a friend

hold the detector, with

the coil off the ground)

b. Keep the searchcoil away

from walls, floors, and

metal objects.

c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry or metal objects from

hands and wrists.

d. Turn off appliances or lights that cause electromagnetic

interference.

e. Pivot the searchcoil back toward the detector body.

III. Power Up

Press the ON touchpad.

The detector will beep

several times and the

sensitivity setting will

be indicated on the

right of the display. Two

illuminated segments

indicates 3/4 sensitivity.

IV. Wave each Object over

the searchcoil (

pass the flat side of the coins parallel to the coil)

a.Notice a different tone for each object.

Low Tone: Nail

Medium Tone: Nickel & Zinc Penny

High Tone: Quarter

b.Motion is required. Objects must be in motion over the

searchcoil to be detected.

V. Press the TARGET REJECT

touchpad

a. An “X” will appear under

the IRON segment.

b. The “X” tell us that Iron

has been eliminated from

detection.

VI. Wave the Nail over the

Searchcoil

a. The Nail will not be

detected.

b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out."

VII. Wave the Quarter, Penny, and Nickel over the Searchcoil

These non-ferrous objects will be detected with their own

distinctive tones.

VIII. Press the TARGET

REJECT

touchpad again

Another “X” will

illuminate under “AL ZN”.

IX. Wave all objects over the

Searchcoil

The Zinc Penny will not be detected. Make sure the penny is post-

1982; these are made of Zinc. CAUTION: some zinc pennies

within 1/2” of the coin surface will induce a high tone.

X. Press the TARGET REJECT touchpad again

a. A third “X” appears.

b. Pass all objects over the searchcoil.

The nail, penny, and nickel are all eliminated from detection.

XI. Press the TARGET REJECT touchpad to return the detector to all-

metals detection, with no “X”s illuminated.

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION

USING HEADPHONES

Using headphones (not included) improves battery life, and prevents the

sounds from annoying bystanders.

It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly

if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use headphones

near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is to be used with

interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.

BASIC OPERATION

POWERING UP

Press the ON touch pad.

All display indicators will illuminate momentarily

The inverted-pyramid depth-selection indicator on the right of the

display will stay illuminated.

UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY

●

1DEPTH SELECT

The detector default to 3/4

sensitivity, indicated by two

illuminated segments. To change

the depth range of the detector,

and thus its sensitivity to more

deeply buried objects, use the

DEPTH SELECT touch pad. each

touch of DEPTH SELECT toggles

the detector among three different sensitivity settings. The detector is

at maximum depth capability when three depth segments are

illuminated on the right of the display.

At the maximum depth setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized

object buried approximately 6 1/2 inches beneath the surface. With

two depth segments illuminated, the detector’s depth range will be

reduced to 80%, and with one depth segment illuminated, the range

will be reduces to 65%.

A more detailed explanation of depth selection is found on page 14.

●

2LOW BATTERY

The LOW BATTERY indicator will illuminate when the 9-volt batteries

are discharged to a level of 6.8 volts.

Replace the batteries as soon as

possible after receiving th e low

battery indication. The detector

will begin to beep erratically and

operate unreliably if continuing

use with discharged batteries.

To save on batteries, check each

battery individually, as the two

batteries can discharge at different

rates. When LOW BATTERY

illuminates, it is possible that only one of the batteries requires

replacement.

Under normal conditions, a set of batteries will last for approximately

16 hours in the field, depending upon the brand of battery. 9

BASIC OPERATION

●

3PROBABLE TARGET

The four categories depicted across the top of the display

indicate the probable identification of buried, detected metal

objects. The searchcoil must be in motion over an object to

be detected. Alternatively, you can pass an object over a

motion less searchcoil to test your detector. One of the four

target indicators will illuminate, indicating the probable

identification of the object. The indicator will remain

illuminated until another object is detected.

You will encounter a never-ending variety of buried metal

objects. It is therefore impossible to accurately identify all

buried metal objects. The Target-Identification system will

accurately identify the most common items.

Commonly-found object are classified into the four categories as

follows:

IRON ------------------------------------------------

Ferrous objects

Metals composed mostly or

entirely of iron

Most very small metals objects

Small foil pieces; small gold

pieces.

AL 5¢ ------------------------------------------------

Large gold rings

Newer pull-tabs (those which

stay connected to can)

Nickels

Large Aluminum Pieces

AL ZN ------------------------------------------------

Post-1982 pennies (are made of

zinc, some zinc pennies will register

as coins within 1” of the coil). -Zinc

coins, such as recent foreign

currency -Most bottle screw caps. -

Large foil pieces. -Many rings; most

gold rings. -Older pull-tabs (those

which detach from the can)

COINS ------------------------------------------------

Silver coins, like dimes and

quarters. -Copper pennies (pre-

1982). -Very large metal objects

like manhole covers.
