The QUICK SHOOTER is a sophisticated metal detector designed for both novice and experienced treasure hunters, offering a blend of advanced features and user-friendly operation. Its primary function is to detect various types of metal objects buried underground, providing detailed information to the user through an intuitive LCD display and distinct audio tones.
At its core, the QUICK SHOOTER operates by emitting an electromagnetic field into the ground. When this field encounters a metallic object, it induces eddy currents within the metal, which in turn generate their own electromagnetic field. The detector's search coil then picks up this secondary field, and the internal electronics process the signal to determine the presence, type, and approximate depth of the metal.
One of the key functionalities of this device is its ability to discriminate between different types of metals. This is achieved through a combination of visual indicators on the LCD display and distinct audio tones. The LCD display provides a probable type of metal, such as iron, 5¢, P-TAB, Zn, 1¢, or 25¢, along with a numeric display for DISC (discrimination) and TARGET. This visual feedback helps users quickly identify what might be buried beneath the surface. Complementing the visual cues, the detector employs a three-tone audio discrimination system: high, medium, and low tones are used to differentiate between various metal types. This auditory feedback allows users to quickly assess the nature of a detected object without constantly looking at the screen, enhancing the efficiency of the search.
The detector also features a "NOTCH" function, which is crucial for ignoring unwanted junk metal. By setting a specific notch range, users can effectively filter out signals from common trash items, such as bottle caps or pull tabs, and focus on finding more valuable targets. This selective detection capability significantly improves the quality of finds and reduces the time spent digging up undesirable objects.
Furthermore, the QUICK SHOOTER incorporates a "DISC" (discrimination) function that allows users to select and discriminate against specific targets. This means you can program the detector to ignore certain types of metal entirely, further refining your search parameters. The "Super slow sweep identification" feature is another advanced function, enabling the detector to discriminate different types of metal even with a very slow sweep of the search coil. This precision is particularly useful in areas with high mineralization or where subtle differences in metal composition need to be identified.
The device is equipped with a waterproof search coil, specifically a 240mm coil, which extends its utility to shallow water environments. This means users can effectively search for treasures along shorelines, in streams, or other shallow bodies of water without damaging the coil. However, it's important to note that while the search coil is waterproof, the main control unit is not designed to be submerged or used in the rain.
The QUICK SHOOTER is designed with user comfort and convenience in mind, incorporating several features that enhance the overall detection experience.
The adjustable shaft is a significant ergonomic feature, allowing users to customize the length of the detector to suit their height and preferred operating posture. This adjustability ensures comfortable use during prolonged searching sessions, reducing fatigue and improving maneuverability.
For private or focused searching, the detector includes a headphone jack, compatible with 3.5mm headphones (not included). This feature allows users to listen to the audio tones without disturbing others or being distracted by ambient noise. Using headphones can also help in hearing subtle target signals that might be missed in noisy environments, thereby improving detection accuracy.
The LCD display serves as the central hub for all visual information. It shows not only the probable type of metal and its numeric DISC/TARGET value but also the depth of the target, the range of DISC&NOTCH settings, the level of SENS (sensitivity), and the battery condition. This comprehensive display ensures that users are always informed about the detector's status and the characteristics of the detected objects. The "SENS/DEPTH indicator" on the display provides crucial information about how deep a target might be buried, helping users decide whether to dig.
Control over the detector's functions is managed through a series of intuitive buttons and a volume/power switch. The "DISC" and "NOTCH" buttons, often accompanied by plus and minus controls, allow for precise adjustment of discrimination and notch settings. The "SENS" button controls the sensitivity of the detector, which can be adjusted to either increase detection depth or reduce interference in highly mineralized ground. The "VOLUME" knob, often integrated with the power switch, allows users to adjust the audio output to a comfortable level.
While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features, certain aspects of the device's design imply ease of care and longevity.
The waterproof search coil is a key feature that contributes to the device's durability and ease of maintenance. Being able to use the coil in shallow water means it can also be easily cleaned of dirt, mud, or sand after use. A simple rinse with fresh water and wiping it dry would suffice for routine cleaning of the coil.
The requirement for two 9V alkaline batteries suggests a common and easily replaceable power source. This ensures that users can readily find replacement batteries, minimizing downtime. The "Low BATT indicator" on the LCD display is a crucial maintenance feature, alerting users when the batteries are running low, preventing unexpected power loss during a search.
The robust construction implied by the product images, particularly the sturdy shaft and search coil design, suggests that the device is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Regular inspection of the cable connections, shaft locking mechanisms, and the overall integrity of the unit would be part of general user maintenance to ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of the detector. Storing the detector in a clean, dry place when not in use would also contribute to its long-term reliability.
