OWNER’S MANUAL

Your Quick Draw II Metal Detector incorporates patented microprocessor-

controlled technology. The Quick Draw II is a motion detector; movement over

an object is required in order for the machine to detect the object and emit a

tone. Alternatively, you can sweep a metal object over a motionless search coil.

THIS METAL DETECTOR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:

1. ALL METAL DETECTION

All metals will be detected.

2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes

In any of these three detection modes, the detector will emit different

tones, depending upon the type of metal present. The characteristics are

adjustable. Depending on the detector control settings, some metals will

also be eliminated from detection.

DISCRIMINATE:

Eliminates iron and trash items with the use of the

DISC/NOTCH knob.

NOTCH:

Provides an adjustable rejection "window" to eliminate undesirable

metals from detection. Move the rejection "window" with the

DISC/NOTCH knob.

AUTO NOTCH:

Provides a pre-set rejection "window", automatically eliminating

most pull-tabs and trash items from detection.

CAUTION:

• Do not test the detector by placing coins or metal objects on the floor.

Most floors contain metal, which will cause interference.

• Use 9-VOLT ALKALINE batteries only.

DO NOT USE INDOORS. LIGHTS AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES EMIT

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH INTERFERE WITH THE DETECTOR’S

OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

Your Quick Draw II is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for a

variety of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose

detecting.

Before using your Quick Draw II, it is important to read these instructions. This

manual's description of detection

concepts and types of metals is

necessary to avoid frustration if

you are new to the hobby of metal

detecting.

Terminology

Elimination —Reference to a metal or

target being "eliminated" means that

the detector will not emit a tone nor

light up an LCD indicator when an

object is in 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 objects.

Iron —Iron is a common, low-grade

metal which is often an undesirable

target. Examples of undesirable iron

objects are old cans, pipes, bolts,

and nails.

Relic —A relic is an aged object of

historical significance. Note that

many relics are made of iron, an

otherwise undesirable object in

some metal detecting applications.

Pull-tabs and Trash Items —

Discarded pull-tabs from beverage

containers are the most bothersome

items for professional and hobby

metal detectorists. These items are

generally constructed of aluminum,

iron, or steel. We have

therefore incorporated

special features into

the Quick Draw II

to eliminate these

targets or to alert

you to their possible

presence.

Quick Draw II DEMONSTRATION

Here is a quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your Quick Draw II.

I. Supplies Needed

•A quarter (25¢) •A penny (1¢) •A dime (10¢)

•A nickel (5¢) •Small piece of aluminum foil •A nail

II. Position your Quick Draw II

•Place the detector on a table, with the search coil hanging over the edge.

•Be sure that the search coil is far away from walls or metal objects.

Keep the search coil away from any metal in the table.

•Turn off appliances or lights which cause electromagnetic interference

III. Beginning Switch Settings

100% counterclockwise to low

•Left Knob (SENSITIVITY) —

click on and set to 3:00 (3/4 turn)

•Do not press any touchpads

IV. All Metal Detection

A. Wave all objects under the search coil

•NOTICE THE TONES

V. Discriminate Mode

A. Turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) slowly to the right past the "DISC"

indication.

B. Wave all objects under the search coil at different "DISC" settings.

•NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES

•NOTICE THE METALS ELIMINATED

VI. Notch Mode

A. Press the NOTCH touchpad

B. Right knob (DISC/NOTCH) 100% counterclockwise to low

C. Wave all objects under the search coil while

slowly turning the right knob clockwise.

•NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES

•NOTICE THE METALS ELIMINATED

VII. Auto Notch Mode

A. Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad

B. Right knob (DISC/NOTCH) 100% counterclockwise to low

C. Wave all objects under the search coil while

slowly turning the right knob clockwise.

•NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TONES

•NOTICE THE METALS ELIMINATED

TURNING ON YOUR DETECTOR

Turn the left knob (SENSITIVITY) to the right. As the knob clicks to the "On"

position, the detector sounds three beeps, the LCD arrows appear

momentarily, and the unit pre-sets to the DISC/ALL METAL mode of operation.

SET THE MODE

1. ALL METAL

A. Press the DISC/ALL METAL touchpad

B. Turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) to the left.

The unit will emit sound when passing over all types of metal objects.

The ALL METAL mode offers the greatest depth detection capability.

2. DISCRIMINATE

A. Press the DISC/ALL METAL touchpad

B. Slowly turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) clockwise.

As you turn the knob clockwise the detector will first eliminate small

iron objects such as nails. When rotated clockwise, large iron objects are

eliminated, followed by trash items such as foil and aluminum.

3. NOTCH

Press the NOTCH touchpad, and the detector will automatically reject iron.

Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob clockwise for selective elimination of various

junk items while still detecting nickels, silver and copper coins, and small

gold items. NOTCH eliminates medium tone trash items while still

detecting valuable low and high tone metals. (audio tone ID is discussed

later).

4. AUTO NOTCH

Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad, and the detector will automatically

reject iron and most pull-tabs. Nickels and most small gold rings will be

retained. The DISC/NOTCH knob creates a rejection "window" which

can be moved as it is turned clockwise. With this mode, you can reject

screw caps and zinc (post 1982) pennies as the DISC/NOTCH control is

turned clockwise, but still detect valuables with low and high tones.

Note: If you are not sure of your current mode setting, simply press the desired

touch-pad again.

BASIC OPERATION

LCD TARGET DISPLAY

READING THE DISPLAY

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows

the PROBABLE identification of the

targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE

depth of the target, in inches.

Pass the search coil repeatedly over a

target, and observe the target readout.

The detector will register a repeated,

unchanging target identification when a

buried target has been located and

identified. If, upon repeated passes over

the same spot, the target identification

reads inconsistently, the target is probably

a trash item, or oxidized metal. With

practice, you will learn to unearth only the

repeatable signals.

The segment identifications are highly

accurate, when detecting the objects

described on the label. For example, if

you pass the coil repeatedly over a nickel,

your detector will repeatedly register a

nickel. However, if you repeatedly register

a nickel, for an unknown buried object,

you could be detecting some other

metallic object with the same magnetic

signature as a nickel.

GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will

Gold flakes will register under Iron/Foil

Small gold items will register under Pull

Tab.

Medium-sized gold items will register

under S-caps.

Large gold items willregisterasZinc1¢.

SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects will

25¢, 50¢, or $1, depending on the size

of the object. The larger the object, the

farther to the right it will register.

IRON/FOIL: All sizes of iron and

aluminum objects will register on the

far-left side of the scale. This could

indicate a worthless item such as a nail,

or a more valuable historic iron relic.

PULL TAB: All older pull tabs from

beverage cans will register here. Most

newer pull tabs will register here. Many

gold rings will also register here.

S-CAPS: Older screw caps from glass

bottles will register here. Large gold

rings, like a class ring, could also register

here. Some non-U.S. coins of recent

vintage will also register here.

1¢ ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982)

will register here. Many non-U.S. coins

of recent vintage will also register here.

10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies will

are composed of copper, which has a

metallic signature similar to a dime.

Caution: The target indications are

visual references. Many other types of

metal can fall under any one of these

categories. You will experience a

trash-to-treasure ratio when treasure

hunting. The more you practice, the

lower you will push your trash-to-

treasure ratio. While the Quick Draw II

will eliminate or indicate the presence

of most common trash items, it is

impossible to accurately classify ALL

buried objects. The LCD provides a

visual reference to minimize the

detection of trash objects. By using the

target ID in conjunction with

discrimination control and the three-

tone audio identification system

(discussed later), you can further

reduce the trash-to-treasure ratio.

BATTERY & DEPTH INDICATORS

The LOW BATT indicator will flash as

the unit is powered on. If the indicator

comes on and stays on, replace the

batteries.

DEPTH INDICATOR:

The Depth Indicator is accurate for

coin-sized objects. It indicates the

depth of the target, in inches. Large

and irregularly-shaped objects will

yield less reliable depth readings

When passing over an object, the

depth indicator will light up and stay

illuminated until another object is

scanned. Pass repeatedly over the

suspected target and pause briefly at

the end of each sweep to read your

display. Repeated indication at the

same depth level indicates an accurate

target detector. If the depth indication

varies with each sweep, try sweeping

at different angles; there may be more

than one target present. With practice,

you will learn the difference between

accurate readings, multiple targets,

and highly erratic readings which

evidence trash or irregularly shaped

objects.

Depth indicator locked on 8 inches

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The principle use for the SENSITIVITY

knob is to eliminate

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

(EMI). EMI is both naturally-occurring

and man-made. Common sources of

EMI are power lines, both suspended

and buried, and broadcasting

antennas. Machinery, when in

operation, can also produce EMI.

EMI comes from most household

appliances, so YOUR DETECTOR

CAN BEHAVE VERY ERRATICALLY

INDOORS. If you want to test it

indoors, turn off the TV and

microwave. If you have lights with

dimmer switches, also turn these off;

dimmer switches can produce lots of

EMI.

If your detector chatters with the

SENSITIVITY knob in the 100%

clockwise position, reduce the

sensitivity until the chatter stops

(usually to the 1:00 or 3:00 position).

If you suspect the presence of deeper

targets underneath a shallower target,

reduce the SENSITIVITY to eliminate

the detection of the deeper target to

properly locate and identify the

shallower target.
