Bounty Hunter Quick Draw Pro Help

[Layo6]

Does anyone own a Bounty Hunter Quick Draw? I have scanned a few places and got very high target id readings but when I dig there is nothing to show. I have the sensitivity set at 7 so not sure what could be the problem. If anyone has any tips for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Leigh

If you are getting high 98-99 readings it is probably large deep iron or a large deep copper pipe. They will both read high silver range and make you give up after a foot of digging. Almost 99% of the detectors on the market struggle IDing deep iron or deep copper that is large.

One trick is to lift the coil a few inches off the ground and sweep....if it disappears after 3-4 inches dig it. If it still sounds off after 6+ inches you have a pipe/can/iron object large and deep.

Thank you, I will give it a shot. But I will tell you the high reading is for silver. Will the detector still mistake the target?

Yeah for sure it will mistake the target. Aluminum cans...big iron...big copper....all ring up in the silver range depending on size and shape and depth. Even the $1000 detectors will mistake them...although give you more tools to differentiate. You will get used to it time. Try using the pinpoint mode as well....if the pinpoint option is showing a large center then you can assume it is a large target.

As far as Jeff Bridges....Yeah...well...you know..that's just like...your opinion man.
