OWNER’S MANUAL
The
Discovery 1100 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. Always begin
use at a reduced sensitivity level; 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
(especially those with dimmer switches).
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.7) and Basic Operation (pp. 9-12).
4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty
Batteries.

    Why does my Bounty Hunter DISCOVERY 1100 beep erratically?
    • N
      Nicole BakerJul 26, 2025
      Your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector might be beeping erratically due to several reasons. It could be interference from indoor use, power lines, or other detectors nearby. Highly oxidized buried objects or environmental electromagnetic interference can also cause this. Try using the detector outdoors, moving away from power lines, keeping at least 20 feet between detectors, only digging up repeatable signals, or reducing the sensitivity until the erratic signals cease.

    What to do if Bounty Hunter Metal Detector LCD doesn't lock on target ID?

      If the LCD on your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector doesn't lock onto one target ID or the detector emits multiple tones, it could be due to multiple targets being present, a highly oxidized target, or the sensitivity being set too high. Try moving the coil slowly at different angles or reducing the sensitivity.

    Why does my Bounty Hunter DISCOVERY 1100 have a constant low tone?
    • R
      Robert BurkeAug 10, 2025
      A constant low tone or constant repeating tones from your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector usually indicates discharged or wrong type of batteries. Replace the batteries, ensuring you use only 9V alkaline batteries.

    How to fix a Bounty Hunter Metal Detector with no power?

      Mr. Jonathan Flores DVMAug 17, 2025
      If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector has no power and makes no sounds, the batteries may be dead or poorly connected, or the cord might not be securely connected. Replace the batteries, push them in tighter to ensure good contact, and check all connections.
