I've made a decision on posting commercial schematics to the main web site. I will create a new section under metal detectors for them, and use a couple of simple guidelines.
Schematics from companies that are no longer in business -- Teknetics, Gold Mountain, the original Bounty Hunter, etc -- are fair game.
Schematics from companies that are in business, will only be posted if I have explicit permission to do so, regardless of whether the schematic is cleanly reverse-engineered or not. I believe this will not be a problem for models that are obsolete, many of which are good for learning M/D design principles, maybe even better than some of the newer models.
The forum is still open to "unrestricted discussion", if you get my drift, so schematics posted here are not subject to the same guidelines. They just get hard-to-find after a while. I will only step in if I get complaints.
