hi carl--


thanks to look up--have to get new mouser catalog--


if price for 38ga not too bad--did not look


at mail order--kind of my problem/way----if you


cant get local,dont buy else get spares...but they


?mouser,$25 min order/shiping etc...local motor


rewind shop not too bad--but only to stock gauge..


even still thanks to mention---me find out.


you keep old magazine ref.---same here...run out room


though..thanks to read/comment....wirewrap--no


but if coil is for low c--low l--nice thoght--if


only a few turns as pi can be--?--rg174 use shield


as faraday shield and center as loop...18c/foot


anyway no more guess coil inductance so much +


more---sharp people here and on eric fosters too..


friendly (for most part)

RE: DALTON MAGNETOMETERS & MAGNETOMETER FLUID

Hi Dale, welcome to the forum.


I live on the other side of the "pond" in Wales and have been looking into mags


for some time now. A little while back I made contact with Carl Moreland (


http://tthn.com/geotech/) who has designed a


gradiometer using proprietary sensors made not far from where I live. A kit is


available from Erich Kern of Fat Quarters Software & Electronics (


http://fqs.dconn.com/INDEX.asp).


I got myself a kit and built the beast which took me about an hour (but I am an


engineer and have been soldering since I was a kid (thirty odd years ago)).


That's just putting the bits on a board. Fitting into a box etc. etc. took


rather longer, but I now have a working(ish) mag for less than £100.


I also am a metal detectorist ( http://members.aol.com/omlcgm/Index.htm)


but I need to locate sites first,


then the individual items.


If you haven't already seen it, http://www.thunting.com/ is


worth a visit.


Regards,


Cris.

Subject: DALTON MAGNETOMETERS & MAGNETOMETER FLUID


The Proton Mag Forum


Firstly, I am this list almost under false pretenses because reading the


messages it is obvious that everybody else here knows 100 to 1000 times more


than me. Please bear with me. Eventually I should learn enough to at least


blend in.


Dalton states in his literature that he uses water (distilled) as it is the


most desirable proton liquid. That info is right in front of me as I type so I


AM sure of it. I think I also read there someplace that he sells a special


heater so his unit can be used at sub-zero operation. It all seemed to make


sense to me. But would appreciate any comments.


I am interested in comments from anyone who has used the Dalton units because I


simply do not have the knowledge to build one. IF I decide to buy a Dalton, he


will give me some instruction and based on what I have read it looks like even


someone with my limited knowledge will be able to get fair results with a short


learning curve.


As I write this I only have his $3.00 info packet, but it impressed me enough


that I just sent the money to get his book and the UofAK phamplet about


prospecting for magnetic black sand with a magnetometer.


Any an all comments, advice etc., would be very welcome. I will try to read


all of the past postings as well as other info that I have to see if I can get


up to speed enough so you guys don't laugh me off of the list.


Thanks to all for your past efforts which make very interesting reading. Hope


to get to know some of you over the net if not possible to ever meet in person.


I am VERY interested in using mags, metal detectors, etc., as prospecting tools


for sulfides, oxides, placer gold, etc. If anyone shares these rather narrow


interests please drop me an email.


Best regards,


Dale (The name is male in case any of you, as am I, are from the Dale Evans


era which interjected so much confusion for guys names Dale)
