Modern Metal Detectors


Book Description

This book has been extremely useful to me in understanding all there is to know about metal detectors. To a beginner this is absolute required reading, and for the experienced detectionist, it is still of profound value because of the advice that it gives. This book helped me purchase the right metal detector and following its advice paid for the book the first time I went out metal detecting after reading it. If you are only going to have only two or three books in your personal metal detecting library this one should be one of those two or three! Happy Hunting!

And a certain bracelet wasn't too bad either.




The Voodoo Project


Book Description

Pulse induction metal detectors are very sensitive to ferrous (iron) targets, and one that can ignore iron has been a sort of holy grail for metal detector developers for some time.The Voodoo Project is a written record of the author's personal mission to design and develop a working pulse induction (PI) metal detector that is capable of good iron rejection.Voodoo is a hybrid detector that has features of both a PI and a VLF. The design goal was to develop a PI that can be used both inland and on the beach. In particular, special attention was devoted to finding non-ferrous targets in areas infested with ferrous trash. Rejection is not based on target conductivity, as Voodoo provides true ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination.
