Quick Draw and Sharp Shooter _ Set the unit in the ALL METALS mode of operation.
When encountering black sand or wet salt conditions, expect the unit to become erratic and
emit false signals. You're dependent on the factory presets when operating in the ALL
METALS mode. Usually this facilitates hunting under normal conditions but can cause
problems when hunting in highly mineralized conditions.
Big Bud Select 220-D _ Operate in the ALL METALS mode. In the ALL METALS mode,
all other controls will no longer affect the operation; only the GROUND BALANCE control
will influence the unit's operation. To properly ground balance while still retaining maximum
sensitivity will be the objective. The procedure follows: Raise the coil about waist level.
Turn the Ground Balance control counterclockwise from "Preset". Hit your momentary
"TUNE" position on your toggle switch. Now, lower the coil to see if there is any tone
caused by mineral conditions. If a tone is emitted, repeat the procedure. To avoid losing
sensitivity, turn the Ground Balance control in very small increments. The Big Bud Select
220 series can easily eliminate black sand by following the same ground balancing
procedure outlined. When nugget-shooting in a highly mineralized area, you may have to
ground balance frequently. Pockets of black sand may cause your detector to go off even
after properly ground balancing. Some of the "concentrates" may have small flakes of gold;
be careful to "pan out" all of the possibilities. Many prospectors utilize a variety of tools
when prospecting such as dredges, dry washes, gold pans, etc. along with their metal
detector.
Other Bounty Hunters _ Any of the older Big Buds that have a manual ground balance can
be applied in the same manner as outlined for the Select 220-D.
RELIC HUNTING
What is a relic? Something that has survived the passage of time is a limited definition. A
relic can be anything of historical value, personal value, associated cultural value-in fact,
anything that reflects another age. There truly is no price that can be put on a relic. Relics
aren't being made today; they are being copied. Relics are time capsules of history. Every
relic has a story to tell. In fact, many objects that you now possess will eventually be relics in
another age. We are only caretakers of our present possessions. Because a relic is
impossible to define, we can only make allusion to what we are looking for when operating
a detector.
Relics have historical value that cannot be put into monetary terms. Certainly, there are
instances where collectors have paid substantially for a relic. Usually relics have much more
value to the local museum where the community's history is held in reverence. If you ever
find anything that you feel would be of historical significance for your local community, contact
your local museum and let them know the exact location and depth of the item you found.
This will enhance the local lore of your community and may even add another page to a
history book.
Where Relics Can Be Found:
The best place to start is researching in your local library. Look up the old newspapers and
find out more about your community's history. Discover what historical events may have
taken place in your locality. Where the historical landmarks are hidden from present-day
progress. Try to pinpoint these locations on a map. Many times there are new buildings
and pavement over where the historical event took place or where once stood the historical
landmark. Imagine all of the relics laying under that pavement that probably will never be
retrieved.
