Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Bounty Hunter QuickDraw Pro detect meteorites?
Yes, the QuickDraw Pro can detect meteorites. Since most meteorites contain iron and nickel, they will register as metallic objects. However, setting the discrimination correctly is crucial to avoid common iron targets.
How should I maintain the searchcoil for optimal performance?
Keep the searchcoil clean by wiping it down after each use, especially if used in muddy or salty environments. Avoid extreme temperatures and sharp impacts, as these can damage the coil.
What are the best weather conditions for using the QuickDraw Pro?
The QuickDraw Pro performs best in dry to mildly wet conditions. Extreme cold or hot weather might affect the battery life and the LCD display, so it's best used in moderate temperatures.
How deep can the QuickDraw Pro detect objects?
The depth capability depends on the size, orientation, and material of the object. Typically, small items like coins can be detected up to 8 inches deep under ideal conditions.
How can I differentiate between valuable items and trash targets?
Learning the different tones for metals and using the discrimination settings effectively will help. Practice and experience over time will improve your ability to differentiate between valuable items and trash.
Can the QuickDraw Pro be used to find gold nuggets?
The QuickDraw Pro can detect gold, but it is not optimized for gold prospecting like specialized gold detectors. For best results, use it in areas where gold has historically been found and keep the sensitivity high to detect small nuggets.
