beach hunter 300 modification

[luigi cataldi]

Good morning, and congratulations on your forum I follow it very carefully
I have a whites beach hunter300, I was wondering if there are changes to this metal detector to make it more powerful

Also changes of components

I thank you in advance

[daverave]

if you want more power you need pulse induction.

[kt315]

can you send pics inside of the PCB?

They know the pulse induction but I want to discrimination least on iron

[Quote = kt315; 213250] possono inviare le foto all'interno del PCB [/ quote]

Now I make them and the audience enough time to open the box

thank you so much Luiqi. to my sorry this detector is unknown for the forum and no data on it. what is Q4 in SO8 package? can you delete a lable
205-xxx and read the type of this IC? (u-chip?)

yes Kt315 by this evening I take a picture without label
I was thinking of replacing integrated with something more modern, and I do not know if the diodes or resistances output can be changed, in order to develop more power

[kt315]

... develop more power... you again... you wait your old wife will be moded in the perfect young chick without bad habits (hysterics without the causes, constant pains in dupea-s, exaction of your money everytime, constant drinking&smoking etc). i agree with Dave here...... you need the pulse power....

[daverave]

if you start changing components in your beach hunter you will land up blowing the detector up and then you have no working detector...when a detector is working as it was designed to do its best to leave it alone or face a big repair bill if you want more depth then try a pulse machine.

[kt315]

then try a pulse machine.

yup. nice submersible case for a PI project IMHO. the dream to get...

I love this detector and have always thought it would be a great land machine if it had an iron volume control in the all metal mode. To me it works like a Gold Max Power but with a light combination to look at rather than having to listen out for and interpret sound signals. Depth is excellent, I find. The draw back is that when you are somewhere with a lot of iron, the red light flashes on it but at the same time you get an audio signal which is indistinguishable from that given for non ferrous objects. This means that as you go along, you have to keep your eyes constantly on the lights- which is impractical. I expect Whites could have put an iron volume control in this detector but they would rather that you bought a different detector for land use. The lights are excellent for ID'ing- even a quick flash of red just once on multiple passes over an object means that object will be iron. On a purely audio machine, listening for a hint of an iron sound is often very difficult.

[luigi cataldi]

us in Italy we need to discriminate iron because we have many hot rocks and iron source The pulse induction have more depth, but they make you break everything with the beach 300 least you understand if you do not iron and excavations, excavations only yellow LED and green LED, I thought I even put a booster coil to tx

[daverave]

the answer is not to try and alter your whites beach hunter...your detector was designed to give the proformance that it does...other than that maybe try a minelab etrac or ctx....im not a minelab fan or user but these maybe your only other option.

[kt315]

an answer is you have to buy or build PI as backup to your whites. yes, PI hunting is hard just cause you need dig all metal. but if you need more gold,
you need more dig with PI.
esspeccialy if you hunting on beach.
you can do on your choice:
1. Hammerhead
2. Surf PI (but i read people have problems with it. i do not know why)
3. Minipulse Plus.
4. Baracuda.
