1 transistor treasure locator circuit


Posted on Sep 17, 2012

Locator uses a transistor radio as the de-tector. With the radio tuned to a weak station, adjust Cl so the locator oscillator beats against the received signal. When the search head pas¬ses over metal, the inductance of LI changes thereby changing the locator oscillator's fre¬quency and changing the beat tone in the radio. The search coil consists of 18 turns of #22 enameled wire scramble wound on a 4-in. diameter form. After the coil is wound and checked for proper operation, saturate the coil with RTV adhesive for stable operation of the locator.
