Unless you have a serious Parts Bin, I really don't think you could source the parts as cheap as Silverdogs kits are. -
One the most popular VLF IB projects is the TGSL. Many have been built, the details and are mosly error free and there are many people here to help. If you are up to the challenge..
You can read a little here. See post 5022:

you can try build TGSL on Cobra's board... I got photos GMT1650 PCB from someone (thank you again!) and 1650 seems has same board as King Cobra board. ie 1650 is a light mod of Cobra like TGSL is the light mod of Tesoro Golden Sabre.
good luck

I have made a Surf Pi, an IGSL, and an IDx
I like the simplicity of the IDx.
I made my version at 12kHz to see smaller coins in UK. I run the Tx from 12v. The det is stable and easy to use. I use it with a home made 10" DD and hip mount box. Runs beyond a week between charges, using up the good cells from a broken laptop battery.
It cant disc out large iron, so can loose time and strength messing about mining tractor parts - which here in UK are every 10 paces on arable.
Although reasonably good - it is blown out of the water by a reasonable commercial machine - my det buddy uses a Garret AT pro and he more than doubles finds.
