Bounty Hunter Quick Silver 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 Depth Selection to a low setting in
the event of false signals. The detector powers on
at 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 search coil away from
appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.
Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal
Keep the search coil away from objects containing metal, such as
floors and walls.
3) This is a MOTION detector.
You must sweep the searchcoil from side-to-side to detect metal.
A motionless searchcoil over a metal object will not result in detection.
4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.
Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries 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 metallic 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.

IMPORTANT: Always use ALKALINE batteries only.
Do not use heavy duty batteries or ordinary zinc-carbon 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.
●
3
Unit beeps continuously or erratically.
The LOW BATTERY indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries are
discharged. You may notice erratic beeping if using with LOW BATTERY
illuminated.
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 in-
side the compartment. Insert both of the batteries with terminals facing
outward.

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 search coil
hanging over the edge.
(or better, have a friend
hold the detector, with
the coil off the ground)
b. Keep the search coil
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 search coil 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 Search Coil (
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
search coil to be detected.
7
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 Search Coil
a. The Nail will not be detected.
b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out."
VII. Wave the Quarter, Penny, and Nickel over the Search Coil
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
Search Coil
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 object over the search coil.
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.

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 defaults 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 reduced 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 the low battery
indication. The detector
9
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.
●
3PROBABLE TARGET
The four categories depicted across the top of the display
indicate the probable identification of buried, detected metal
objects. The search coil must be in motion over an object to
be detected. Alternatively, you can pass an object over a
motionless search coil 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.
BASIC OPERATION
continued
10
Commonly-found objects 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 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)
AL 5¢ ------------------------------------------------
Large gold rings
Newer pull-tabs (those which stay connected to can)
Nickels
Large Aluminum Pieces
COINS ------------------------------------------------
Silver coins, like dimes and quarters
Copper pennies (pre-1982)
Very large metal objects like manhole covers.
●
4REJECTED TARGET
When “X” appears under a target
category, objects falling into this
category are eliminated from
detection. This feature is
commonly referred to as target
discrimination.
With each press of the TARGET
REJECT touch pad, you will
progressively eliminate, from left to right, the common, less
desirable, targets. When all three “X” are illuminated, the next press
will erase all “X”s, returning the detector to all-metal detection status,
where all types of metals will be detected.
