Need help?
Ferrite refuses but sees it from 30-40-50cm
Where am I wrong?

[bernte_one]

i think ist not totally wrong if you pickup ferrite
while Tuning detector i set tune(or sens pot, or whatever you Named it) to middle positon

then try if you can set ground pot to refuse ferrite and your bare hands too
if detector sounds while sweeping your Hand over coil it will produce false Signal over real ground too.

for good disc and ground Setup never put sens pot to Maximum (only in the range of 50-70%)

if you are able to discrimate a 100g hammer and samewhile pickup a gold ring nearby all is ok

[Koala]

There's more than one type of ferrite. The porous type in radios is normally fine. Some of the hard doughnut rings its better to smash with a hammer and use a small flake.


in all metal mode and a slight threshold hum move the ferrite towards the coil.


With the discrimination turn all the way clockwise the sound should go less or more and the results reversed if turned all the way counter clockwise.

What does yours do.

[CDI]

I never use ferrite while tuning some detector, i found one big mineralised stone and one Roman mineralised brick, if not falsing on them, it will not give false signals even on real soil.

You are totaly right about bare hand's Bernte, noticed same situation, especially on wet grass.

Seeing hand or wet grass is normally the shield not good enough.

I had to wire my IDX differently from the factor to stop the wet grass chatter

Can you plz explain where is shield connected in your idx?

The way that works for me was discovered by dfbowers


Minus RX and shield kept separate in the coil head and only connect on the PCB.


No idea why a factory coil works okay with the minus RX and shield connect in the head and mine don't. I now just except that I have to make the this way.
