Beat Balance Metal Detector - BFO (beat frequency oscillator) metal detectors use two oscillators, each of which produces a radio frequency. One of these oscillators uses a coil of wire that we call the search loop. The second oscillator uses a much smaller coil of wire, and is usually inside the control box and is called the reference oscillator. By adjusting the oscillators so their frequencies are very nearly the same, the difference between them is made audible as a beat note __ Designed by Essex Metal Detectors
Beat Balance Metal Detector (Rev Thomas Scarborough) - Various embodiments of the BB metal detector have been published, and it has been widely described in the press as a new genre. instead of using a search and a reference oscillator as with BFO, or Tx and Rx coils as with IB, it uses two transmitters or search oscillators with IB-style coil overlap. The frequencies of the two oscillators are then mixed in similar fashion to BFO, to produce __ Designed by Andy Collison

Construction metal imager - 05/15/14 EDN Design Ideas: Build up an image of inductively sensed, hidden metal using the software equivalent of a long time exposure! My design proposal is to use the LDC1000 to build a metal sensing imager for home and office construction. My first idea was switching an array of coils and controlling an indicating LED for each. The cost of even an eight-by-eight array was prohibitive, and would not give a satisfying image. The second idea was to use a solenoid to activate a marker which would travel through the coil center and mark the surface wherever metal was detected. Again, cost would be prohibitive, and while satisfactory on a construction site, a homeowner might object to having their walls marked up. Design by George Mallard

FET based metal Detector using MPF102 / J310 BF998 FETs - Making a metal detector was always my dream. I was curious listening to those beeps at airport for which dad explained that they were metal detectors. Which did not mean anything to me. Last summer I had opportunity to find secrets behind this little stuff from my dad which turnout to be simple project one can make at home. __ Designed by Nina Gajjar
