Clear Display

The Delta starts with a large, easy-to-read LCD display, which includes the easiest, most intuitive user interface in metal detecting. The display's identification meter is crisp and clear, so you'll know about the treasure you find even before you begin to dig it up. The display also includes an accurate two-digit numerical target ID system, which shows the most likely metal match, along with a running depth indicator that identifies the depths of all the targets in the area (from 0 to more than 8 inches).

Advanced Search Features

The Delta offers two search modes: Discrimination mode and All Metals mode. In Discrimination mode, the Delta will ignore or respond to different metal types, so you can avoid trash metals such as pop cans and foil. By contrast, the All Metals mode searches for every piece of metal in the ground. In addition, the Delta makes it possible to "hear" different target metals thanks to the three-tone audio discrimination. Other features include adjustable sensitivity, a preset ground balance, a battery life indicator, and an overload alarm system.

Specs include an 8-inch open-face coil system and an operating frequency of 7.8 kHz. The Delta is designed to run for up to 25 hours on a single 9-volt battery.

Equipped with a powerful microchip computer circuit and patented Bounty Hunter technology, the Quick Draw II metal detector identifies specific targets at depth with tremendous accuracy, making it an ideal choice for coin shooting, treasure hunting, and locating lost property markers or household items.

4 Operating Modes

The Quick Draw II--which runs on two 9-volt batteries--is designed for easy handling, with a lightweight, ergonomic build that's comfortable for hours on end. The detector boasts four modes controlled by an easy-to-use touchpad. Motion All-Metal mode offers a single tone that detects all types of metal. Progressive Discrimination mode, by contrast, uses a single tone to automatically eliminate iron and other unwanted metals. The Notch and Auto Notch mode add further versatility to the detecting process, with the ability to manually or automatically eliminate, or “notch out,” a select range of items.

Easy Detection

Bounty Hunter equips all its metal detectors with a preset ground balance that neutralizes the response to mineral content in the ground. As a result, the Quick Draw II can distinguish between iron in the ground and valuable metals. The detector further distinguishes good finds from bad with a disc/notch control, which eliminates unwanted metals from detection, and a sensitivity control that reduces electromagnetic interference. It’s in the accuracy department that the Quick Draw II really shines, however. The detector includes a digital nine-segment probable target ID that identifies a wide range of targets, along with three-tone audio feedback. The unit also offers a digital probable coin depth indicator that determines how deep a target is buried, making it easier to dig up.

In addition, the Quick Draw II searches deeper than many other detectors thanks to the 8-inch open coil design, which searches to 8 inches for coin-size objects and 3 feet for larger objects. The coil and stem are even waterproof, so you can submerge them when searching for treasure in damp grass or shallow water.

Operation

To ensure privacy, the detector comes equipped with a ¼-inch headphone jack compatible with most headphones. Other features include an easy-to-read LCD display, a low battery indicator, an adjustable-height design, a padded armrest, and a detector stand. The Quick Draw II weighs 3.5 pounds and carries a five-year limited warranty.
