This device has been designed to operate with the searchcoils listed below, and
having a maximum gain of 3 dB. Searchcoils not included in this list or having
a gain greater than 3 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The
required searchcoil impedance is 102 ohms.
10COIL, 4COIL, 8COIL, 8COIL-7, 8COIL-7BLK, 8COIL-CAMO, 8COIL-UM
The following statement is not relevant to metal detectors but is printed here to
satisfy legal notification requirement:
“To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the searchcoil type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.”
BATTERIES
IMPORTANT: Always use ALKALINE batteries for optimal performance.
Always remove the batteries for prolonged storage.
DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES
CHECK THE BATTERIES
if your detector exhibits any of the following
symptoms:
●
1 The unit does not turn on.
●
2 Low speaker volume.
●
3 Unable to tune detector with the discriminate knob.
The Low Battery indicator light will come on and stay on whenever the
batteries need replacing. It should flash momentarily when the Power
Switch is turned on.
IMPORTANT: Your Sharp Shooter II metal detector requires two 9-Volt
ALKALINE batteries.
Follow these steps to install the
batteries.
●
1 Carefully remove the battery com-
partment door by pressing the re-
lease clip on the right side of the
door.
●
2 Snap one battery onto each of the
terminals and place the batteries
inside the compartment.
●
3 Replace the compartment door by
carefully inserting opposite side of clip
first. Then press down on clip side
until battery door snaps into place.

Swing the searchcoil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you
move forward. It is important to
sweep the coil at a consistent speed
over the ground as you search. After
identifying a target, your sweep
technique can help in identifying both
the location and the nature of the
target. If you encounter a weak
signal, try moving the coil in short,
rapid sweeps over the target zone;
such a short rapid sweep may
provide a more consistent target
identification.
Most worthwhile objects will
respond with a repeatable tone. If
the signal does not repeat after
sweeping the coil directly over the
suspected target a few times, it is
more than likely trash metal.
Crossing the target zone with
multiple intersecting sweeps at
multiple angles is another way to
verify the repeatability of the signal,
and the potential of the buried target.
To use this method, walk around the
target area in a circle, sweeping the
coil across the target repeatedly,
every 30 to 40 degrees of the circle,
about ten different angles as you
walk completely around the target. If
a high-tone target completely
disappears from detection at a given
angle, chances are that you are
detecting oxidized ferrous metals,
rather than a silver or copper object.
If the tone changes at different
angles, you may have encountered
multiple objects. If you are new to
the hobby, you may want to dig all
targets at first. With practice in the
field, you will learn to better discern
the nature of buried objects by the
nature of the detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False signals
occur when the detector beeps, but
no metal target is present. False
signals can be induced by
electromagnetic interference,
oxidation, or highly mineralized
ground soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the signal
with several additional sweeps over
the same spot, there is probably no
target present.
When searching very trashy ground,
it is best to scan small areas with
slow, short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash metal
and foil you will find in some areas.
The trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people, and
frequently hold the most promise for
finding the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the searchcoil
positioned just above the surface of
the ground, without making contact
with the ground. Making contact with
the ground can cause false signals.
