Bounty Hunter Quick Silver: Turn It On and Hunt
Every beginner detector promises "one-touch operation"; the Quick Silver actually delivers a version of it worth having. Fully automatic ground balance handles the soil for you, and when the machine keeps hitting the same junk, one press of the Target Reject button teaches it to ignore that exact category. No menus, no theory, no manual on the kitchen table.
Why the Quick Silver
The digital LCD sorts finds into four target categories, 3-tone audio (low for iron, medium for mid-range, high for the good stuff) lets you hunt by ear, and a 3-segment depth indicator estimates the dig before you kneel: coin-sized targets read to 6.5 in (16.5 cm). The waterproof 8 in (20 cm) coil is happy on dry sand, grass, and shallow fresh water; the control box, as the manufacturer plainly states and most dealers do not repeat, is not waterproof, so keep it out of the drink. About 16 hours of hunting per pair of 9V batteries, on a padded S-rod that swings easily. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Target Reject button do?
When you hit a junk target, one press tells the Quick Silver to ignore that category from then on. It is discrimination without the learning curve.
Do I need to ground balance it?
No. Ground balance is fully automatic; the machine adapts to the soil by itself.
How deep does it read?
Coin-sized targets to about 6.5 in (16.5 cm); larger objects to around 2 ft (0.6 m).
Is it waterproof?
The 8 in (20 cm) coil is; the control box is not, so shallow water only, housing kept dry.
Quick Silver or Discovery 1100?
A dollar apart, different personalities: the Quick Silver is the simplest to run (auto everything plus Target Reject), the Discovery 1100 gives finer discrimination control and a lighter swing. We stock both and will talk it through.
