it was time to build the rest of the metal detector. Look ma, no MCU! The sensor coil was made by salvaging the wire from an old fluorescent lamp ballast and winding it around the lid of a bucket ...
[mircemk] is quite a wizard when it comes to using coils of wires in projects, especially when their application is within easy-to-build metal detectors. There are all kinds of ways to send ...
An advanced metal detector coil encompasses the diameter of the sensor head. Passing current through the MD coil creates an electromagnetic field that induces an electrical current in any metal ...
The most common metal detectors are very low frequency (VLF) detectors. They work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search (transmitter) coil into the ground. This is usually the outer ...
How to choose the right metal detector for finding treasures It’s essential to decide on what you’re searching for first. Different metals and object sizes require different search coil ...
