Bounty Hunter‘ metal detectors will detect any item composed all or
in part of metal. Most common and inexpensive metal detectors also
detect metal, but have three important limitations: discrimination,
depth detection and ground balancing. Bounty Hunter™ metal
detectors, on the other hand, possess superior discrimination, depth
detection and ground balancing capabilities.
Metal Types
• iron—a low-grade metal; iron objects range from nails and bolts to
valuable historical relics such as bullets, cannon balls, guns or
shakcles.
• aluminum—a low-grade metal; aluminum objects such as foil or
cans are usually undesirable.
• zinc—a lower-grade metal; zinc is found in U.S. pennies minted
after 1982 and many newer, non-US coins also contain zinc.
• copper—a medium-grade metal; copper is found in U.S. pennies
minted before 1982.
• gold—a high-grade metal; jewelry or gold nuggets are gold items
sought by detectorists.
• silver—a high grade metal; jewelry or silver coins are silver items
sought by detectorists.
Discrimination
Discrimination is the detector’s ability to identify the type of buried
metal or completely eliminate unwanted metals from detection
.
Bounty Hunter™ Metal Detectors all have superior discrimination
capabilities, allowing them to
differentiate between and identify different types of metals.
Example:
If you are searching for valuable coins in a park or beach,
you do not want to dig up pull tabs and cans. You can
adjust the Bounty Hunter™ detector so that it will emit a
distinct tone, or completely tune out these unwanted
items so that you spend your valuable time digging up
only valuable coins.
