Most metal detectors work on the fact that metals in a magnetic field change the behaviour of the field. There are two general approaches to detect these changes. In one approach, an alternating current is provided to a transmit coil. A receive coil is used.... -
The device we then build will function as a metal detector that can scout out metal objects, such as coins, nails, keys such as car keys you may not be able to find, and even gold if you`re looking for in a beach (though this one may not have industrial.... -
When the receiver is tuned to a M. W. radio station the resulting feedback howl, caused by the transmitter can be set to alter, or appear when the coil and radio are above or near a metal object Here is a pictured of the search head. It is made from a.... -
A reasonably effective bfo (bifilar oscillator). Its performance is not comparable to more advanced commercial products, of course, but it still works. Anyway, during WWII metal detectors based on the same principle were utilized my combat engineers of many.... -
