  • Surf 1.2 setup?

    Does anyone have any idea on how to set up the surf 1.2 properly?
    I bought the kit and got it assembled, all seems to work ok but there seems to be a lack of information about the kit, for one thing it?s a bit vague about how to connect the potentiometers up and also how to tune it and what the test point readings should be,
    i get 0v at one test point and 4.6v at the other, nothing is getting hot and I?m detecting coins at a good 9?+ but I?m wanting to check my work and make sure everything is as it should be, there only seems to be one guide online and it?s hard to tell what way they have the wires.

      1. an article for magazine 'Hammerhead. A project of pulse induction detector' of Carl Moreland.
      2. a copy INSIDE THE METAL DETECTOR of Carl Moreland and George O.

      enough of the info on the matter.

        Thank you I will have a read of them now.
        I took the surf out last night and dig a load of nails and bits of metal from a farmers field, not a bad detector to be fair, I dig a foot deep hole just for a tiny nail.
        as the night went on and the condensation started to settle I started getting lots of false bleeps, that?s most likely down to my coil design, two core bell wire wrapped around a cd box and fixed to an old bucket lid.
        Next I?ll redesign the coil and work on fine tuning this.
