Bounty Hunter Camo-LS Owenrs Manual

OWNER’S MANUAL

The Camo-LS is a professional metal detector. The concepts and
terminology can be quite unfamiliar if you are new to the hobby.
To understand it quickly and to get the most enjoyment possible
from your detector, we strongly recommend that you:

1)

Turn the Sensitivity knob to a low setting if you get false

signals. A little practice is required to understand when and how

you can use the sensitivity at or near 100%.

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 all floors, walls and metal objects.

3) Read this manual.
Most importantly, review the

Summary of Operating Modes (10)

and the

Quick-Start Demo (6).

4) Use 9volt ALKALINE batteries only.

TERMINOLOGY

ELIMINATION

Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone,
nor light up an LCD 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 a fixed-start-point elimination system.

NOTCH

Notching is the elimination of an item, or range of items, within the metallic spectrum.
We "notch-out" an object selectively. Objects to the left and right on the metallic
spectrum are retained. Notching creates a variable rejection window.

RELIC

A 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 often 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, can 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 earth, and can therefore be very hard
to isolate.

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. We have
incorporated special features into the detector to let you automatically eliminate the
most common types, using the AutoNotch Mode. Since there are many different
types, some must be "Notched-Out" manually.

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.

WATERPROOF

The search coil can be submerged in water. The control housing and cable-to-housing
connection must, however, stay dry.

COINSHOOTING

Finding buried coins is the most popular metal detecting application. The most valuable
are very old; take care in unearthing them to avoid damage.

CACHE HUNTING

Pronounced “cash”. A cache is a buried or hidden valuable stored inside a case, strong
box, or bag.
