Does anyone have a Tesoro Piranha schematic? Piranha is a PI metal detectors coils are actually a circular printed circuit board (PCB coil) encased in epoxy resin - coils are the same as for Tesoro Sand Shark ( 358uH - 11R). Piranha is capable of finding the smallest gold chains and jewelry in wet sand, salt, ect.

Hi 6666. I have no personal experience with Piranha. The internet has a few comments about the Piranha but all positive. The design is probably similar to the Barracuda and Surfmaster. It is interesting that 7-inch coil will be useful when searching for smaller targets, such as gold nuggets http://www.tesoro.com/info/manuals/older/piranha/
The Sand Shark is the Pulse Induction metal detector that is controlled by microprocessor technology. Sand Shark has an add-VCO Mode. Sand Shark has operating Frequency - 600 pps, pulse delay min 22 uS - as well as Barracuda. Sand Shark is not so "deep" as Barracuda (this is not my experience but others from the internet). Schematics for the Sand Shark has a Carl-NC (if it is found in its archives)
Sand Shark has a grooming THRESHOLD by using the "F" SET "F" ADJUST similar to Barracuda switch SW1 (see the link "Set the Audio Frequency for the Normal Mode" http://www.tesoro.com/info/manuals/current/sandshark/ )Attached Files
