Bounty Hunter Pilot User manual

OWNER’S MANUAL

The

Pilot 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 search coil away from

appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.

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

Also keep the search coil 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.

TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS:

• Always check Federal, State, County and local laws before searching.

• Respect private property and do not enter private property without the owner’s permission.

• Take care to refill all holes and leave no damage.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS

COIN SHOOTING:

The most popular metal detecting activity.

Find coins where people congregate frequently. Many detectorists revisit the

same areas again and again to find a never-ending treasure trove as people

continue to lose valuables every day. Parks, fairgrounds, and play ares are

good choices. The most valuable old coins are frequently found in abandoned

home sites, or if you live on an older property, maybe in your own backyard.

Control settings required. Target-Rejected al least 2-Xs to eliminate iron,

foil, and old pull tabs. Target-Rejected all 3-Xs if you want to find only

copper and silver. If you search for nickels, remember that you will also

encounter some newer pull-tabs. Some newer pull-tabs have a magnetic

signal indistinguishable from nickel.

RELIC HUNTING:

The most effective relic hunting is best accomplished after conducting historical

research. Visit your local library, or check the internet, for historical events in

your area. You can target specific areas and gain valuable insight into your local

history. Remember to ask permission and respect laws regarding private and

government property.

Control settings required. No X’s should be displayed. Do not

discriminate out any types of metals as many of the oldest relics contain

iron.

JEWELRY HUNTING:

This is the most challenging treasure hunt. Gold rings will register in the same

range as pull-tabs. Necklaces will register with zinc and foils. You will dig up

many trash items in your search for jewelry, but jewelry hunting holds the

most potential for reward. Please pick up ant throw away those pull-tabs to

help clean the environment.

Control settings required. Target-Reject only the 1st X; eliminate IRON

only.

JEWELRY HUNTING:

A cache, pronounced “cash,” is a buried or hidden valuable stored inside a

case, can, strong gox, or bag. A cache could be the loot from a bank robbery

or someone’s life savings. Caches can be hidden in floors or walls of an old

house, or buried nearby.

Control settings required. No X’s should be display. The container

holding the treasure will frequently be a ferrous object, so you want to

detect all types of metal objects.

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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is easy and requires no tools.

●

1Position the lower stem

with the silver button toward the back.

Using the bolt and knurled knob, attach

the search coil to the plastic extension

protruding from the lower stem.

●

2If your model is equipped with a

3-piece stem, open the plastic

locking nut on the

upper tube by

rotating it

counterclockwise.

Then slide the middle

tube into the upper

tube, inserting the

silver button into the

locating hole

which is 1/2” behind the plastic locking nut. Now tighten the

plastic locking nut.

●

3Press 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 comfortable upright

posture, with your arm relaxed at

your side, and the search coil

parallel to the ground in front of you.

●

4Wind the cable securely around the

stem.

●

5Insert the plug into the matching

connector on the right underside of

the detector body. Be sure that the

key-way and pins line up

correctly.

Caution: Do not force the plug in. Excess

force will cause damage.

To disconnect the cable, pull

on the plug.

Do not pull

Connector

on back of

control housing

You may encounter some false

signals as you proceed. False

signals occur when the detector

beeps, but no metal target is

present. False signals can be

induced by electromagnetic

interference, oxidation, or highly

mineralized ground soils. If the

detector beeps once, but does not

repeat the signal with several

additional sweeps over the same

spot, there is probably no target

present.

When searching very trashing

ground, it is best to scan small

areas with slow, short sweeps. You

will be surprised just how much

trash metal and foil you will find in

some areas. The trashiest areas

have been frequented by the most

people, and frequently hold the

most promise for finding the most

lost valuables. To make searching

easier in very trashy areas,

consider purchasing the Bounty

Hunter 4-inch Search Coil. The 4-

inch coil’s narrower detection field

can better distinguish between two

objects in close proximity.

Also maintain the search coil

positioned just above the surface of

the ground, without making

contact with the ground. Making

contact with the ground can cause

false signals.

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (continued)

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.

IMPORTANT: Always use ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use heavy duty batteries.

DO NOT 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 Pilot 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 in-

side the com-

partment.

Insert booth of

the batteries

with terminals

facing inward.

●

Replace the

compartment

door by carefully

inserting oppo-

site side of clip

first. Then press

down on clip

side until battery

door snaps into

place.

Swing the search coil slowly,

overlapping each sweep as you

move forward. It is important to

sweep the coil at a consistent

speed over the ground as you

search. After identifying a target,

your sweep technique can help in

identifying both the location and

the nature of the target. If you

encounter a weak signal, try

moving the coil in short, rapid

sweeps over the target zone; such

a short rapid sweep may

provide a more

consistent target

identification.

Most worthwhile

objects will

respond with a

repeatable

tone. If the

signal does

not repeat

after

sweeping the coil directly over the

suspected target a few times, it is

more than likely trash metal.

Crossing the target zone with

multiple intersecting sweeps at

multiple angles is another way to

verify the repeatability of the signal,

and the potential of the buried

target. To use this method, walk

around the target area in a circle,

sweeping the coil across the target

repeatedly, every 30 to 40 degrees

of the circle, about ten different

angles as you walk completely

around the target. If a high-tone

target completely disappears from

detection at a given angle, chances

are that you are detecting oxidized

ferrous metals, rather than a silver

or copper object. If the tone

changes at different angles, you

many have encountered multiple

objects. If you are new to the

hobby, you may want to dig all

targets at first. With practice in the

field, you will learn to better discern

the nature of buried objects by the

nature of the detector’s response.

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.

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES

When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”,

as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice

and is best accomplished by

“X-ing” the target area.

1. Once a buried target is indicated

by a good tone response,

continue sweeping the coil over

the target in a narrowing

side-to-side pattern.

2. Take visual note of the place on

the ground where the “beep”

sounds.

3. Stop the coil directly over this

spot on the ground.

4. Now move the coil straight

forward and straight back

towards you a couple of times.

5. Again make visual note of the

spot on the ground at which

the “beep” sounds.

6. If needed, “X” the target at

different angles to “zero in” on

the exact spot on the ground at

which the “beep” sounds.

COIL MOVEMENT

When swinging the coil, be

careful to keep it level with the

ground about 1/2 inch from the

surface. Never swing the coil like

a pendulum.

TARGET DEPTH ESTIMATION

After verifying a desirable

target, pass the coil again, but

raise the coil 1” over the

ground, progressively higher

with each sweep. Note the coil

elevation at which the signal

disappears. With practice, you

will be able to approximate

target depth.

WRONG

CORRECT

DEPTH SELECT (Sensitivity Adjustment)

Upon power-up, the detector defaults to 3/4 sensitivity. To increase to full

sensitivity, press the DEPTH SELECT touchpad once.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil

creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector

beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probably

detecting another electromagnetic field.

Common sources of EMI are electric power lines, both suspended and

buried, motors, and household appliances like computers and

microwave ovens. Some indoor electronic devices, such as dimmer

switches used on household lighting, produce severe EMI and can cause

the detector to beep erratically. Other metal detectors also produce their

own electromagnetic fields; so if detecting with a friend, keep two metal

detectors at least 20 feet apart.

If the detector beeps erratically, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by using the

Depth Select Control.

SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS

A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection

signals caused by severe ground conditions. While your Pilot contains

circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring

ground minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated.

Highly magnetic soils found in mountainous and gold-prospecting

locations can cause the detector to emit tones when metal objects are not

present. High saline content soils and sands can also cause the detector

to false.

If the detector emits false, non-repeatable, signals, REDUCE THE

SENSITIVITY.

MULTIPLE TARGETS

If you suspect the presence

of deeper targets beneath a

shallower target, reduce the

sensitivity to eliminate the

detection of the deeper

targets, in order to properly

locate and identify the

shallower target.

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-

two illuminated segments.

To change the depth range

of the detector, and thus its

sensitivity to more deeply

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%.

AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION

While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying

buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display

screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio

feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects.

This audio feedback system first alerts the user to the presence and

classification of objects, whose nature and location can be confirmed

using the LCD display.

The detector will sound one of three different tones, depending on the

type of metal detected.

BASS TONE

Ferrous objects, such as iron and steel, will induce a bass tone.

The smallest gold objects can also induce a bass tone.

MEDIUM TONE

Pull-tabs, newer pennies (post-1982), larger gold objects, zinc,

small brass objects, and most bottle screw caps will induce

medium tones. Many recent vintage foreign currencies will

induce medium tones. Medium tone objects will illuminate the

two center target indicators.

HIGH TONE

Silver and copper coins, larger brass objects, older pennies (pre-

1982), and highly oxidized metals will induce high tones.

Quarters, dimes and other precious coins fall into this category.

Audio Target Identification (ATI) classifies metals into four categories.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

WATER HUNTING: Your Pilot is ideal for damp grass and shallow water

spots. the search coil is waterproof; the case and case-to-cable

connection is not. Be careful to keep the detector body dry.

In saltwater, keep the search coil from contact with the ground. Contact

with saltwater sands will cause the detector to beep falsely. For best

result in saltwater, eliminate IRON to reduce false signals caused by

conductive beach sands. Coil sweep technique is also important in

saltwater; keeping the coil submerged is better than dunking and lifting.

The detector needs time to readjust to the conductive salt water.

RED CLAY: The red clay earth found in the southwestern U.S. may

require a reduction in the DEPTH SELECT level if encountering false

signals. Coil sweep technique is also more critical in red clay; keep the

coil level with the ground. Do not lift the coil at the ends of your sweep.

Review coil sweep technique on page 15.

RED SANDS: Red sand found in desert locations will react like red clays,

so fallow the same precautions as outlined in the paragraph above.

BLACK SANDS: The most promising gold prospecting locations can

contain large amounts of black sand. This black sand is the most

demanding detecting environment, and frequently requires a detector

costing thousands of dollars for the best results. Your Pilot will still

function in these conditions, but will usually require operation at reduced

sensitivity levels. If you receive constant false signals, reduce the

sensitivity or move to another area.

SAND: Dry beach sands are no problem for the Pilot. if the sand is damp

with saltwater, however, follow the precautions outlined under saltwater

above.

HOT AND COLD: Be patient if moving immediately between hot and

cold environments, like taking your detector from your air-conditioned

home into a blazing summer sun. The search coil is constructed of

copper wire which will expand and contract with temperature change.

Your detector may require 10 to 15 minutes to stabilize to the ambient

temperature.

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

motion less 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.

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 REJECT

TARGET touch ad, 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.

OPERATING CONTROLS

The Pilot is the most automated, easy-to-operate, professional metal

detector ever designed. It is designed for those who are new to the

hobby providing maximum basic target discrimination, while requiring

minimal operator adjustment.

DEPTH SELECT

With each press of the DEPTH

SELECT touch pad, the detector

toggles among three different

depth-detection levels. Each of

these sensitivity levels is

identified through the 3-segment

depth-select icon on the right of

the display.

When three segments are illuminated, the detector is at maximum

sensitivity. As you press the DEPTH SELECT touch pad, the detector

toggles among the three different sensitivity levels. A more detailed

explanation of depth selection is found on page 14.

TARGET REJECT

Upon power-up, all types of

metals are detected. The TARGET

REJECT touch pas allows the user

to eliminate undesirable metals

from detection.

With each press of the REJECT

TARGET touch pad, unwanted

metals are progressively

eliminated, from left to right on the display. When all three “X”s 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.
