Hello colleagues, let me ask if the coils need to be shielded? because I null it to 10-12 mV, but by shielding them pin 1 of tl072 I can't null them below 90 mV. is it normal or am i doing something wrong? I did not put a capacitor on the RX because it works fine without it. I tested with 22nf but the discrimination cannot be adjusted and rather cuts non-ferrous metals. The capacitor of the TX is 330nf 16V wave. The device operates at 8.4kHz.TX 1mH & RX 12mH but after I shilded is 12.9mH. Any assumptions?Thanks

You should shield both coils mandatory. Don`t mention if the fine balance cannot be achieved. The device works fine even with wide range of balance deviation. And don`t put the capacitor in parallel of Rx - it is non-resonance machine. You need to achieve/to see the phase reaction on the oscilloscope when you approach the coil with ferrous metal and amplitude reaction, when approaching non-ferrous metal.
If you do all properly, the result will you pleasantly impressed. It works reliable like "Kalashnikov", so keep going...

The device works well for coins but does not detect large non-ferrous metals. When I passed with the big object, a strong signal is indicated on tl072 pin 7 but there is no sound indication at all. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so can it be fixed?
