gold jewelry. As one rotates the control, the detector re-
tunes itself toward different metals — gold jewelry toward
the higher frequency settings; iron toward the lower
frequency settings. (Note: Iron can not be tuned out with
a PI detector.)
It is recommended that the new user set different target
items on the ground and pass the coil over them getting
acquainted with the response the detector makes when
locating them. Adjust the frequency control for best
response to each metal test item, making note of where
the best response position is on the frequency control.
This knowledge will help you in identifying buried items.
One needs to keep in mind that a lot of different metals
respond the same way electrically to a detector. Aluminum
covers a wide range of responses from low conductive
jewelry to large coins. Gold and gold jewelry covers a wide
detecting response range depending on its alloy make up.
As in all metal detecting ID'ing and discrimination, it is not
exact. Metals do not always react the same way each time
when excited by a transmitted signal of a metal detector.
Wading
Wading with the headhunter Pulse is not only fun, but
very rewarding. People have been losing objects in the
water since the human race began. You can now start
finding your share of these lost valuables with your
headhunter metal detector. When you are wading you
can't always see or reach the bottom where your
searchcoil is. More experienced waders purchase a quality
long handled scoop and floating sifter system. When you
hear a signal that you want to retrieve, pinpoint it and use
your long handled scoop to retrieve the target.
Note: HEADHUNTER PULSE models do not have a battery check
system. They can be operated continuously from 6-10 hours on a
fresh set of alkaline batteries. The operator is advised to keep track
of time logged on each set of batteries to avoid shutdown in the
middle of a hunt. Always carry fresh batteries as a backup on every
hunt. This is common practice with all detectors, with or without a
battery check system.
