Thanks.

What do you mean by "for this version of baracuda v2"?
Did you purchase the PCB from Silverdog, and does it say "Geotech Baracuda REV-A" on the board?

If you make the coil close to the original you don't have to worry about tuning the damping resistor
if you've got a scope set the offset to zero volts.
the delay is trial by error. What ever you set it to is a comprise. Best for a gold ring is terrible on some copper alloy. Best to get a selection of what you hope to find and find a happy medium. Long delay gives some iron discrimination but rubbish on a gold ring. Best on a gold ring knocks a roman brooch by half. I found best distance on my roman fibular was a nice compromise for me.


Not not that I have ever used it on the beach. Mostly done fields lately.

It is old one, silverdogs kit rev2.

In that case, you cannot use the Geotech Baracuda Rev-A Build Document.

However, it is worth reading, as you will then be aware of the problems existing in the V2 design.
