First off, thank you for this forum, and the volunteers and others who make it possible!
Next: I'm an absolute beginner, so be gentle!
I'm looking into getting a Surf Pi from Silverdog.co.uk as my first kit. Doing this as it looks easy enough for my soldering ability, and that I might be mounting this in an underwater ROV. I'd be searching for basically anything metal in whatever body of water I'd be operating in (usually fresh water). Right before ordering the Surf Pi, while doing more research, I come across some websites that are offering pre-made metal detector "kits" for not terribly much more money than I can get an unmade kit from Silverdog!
The two websites I am talking about I heard about from users posting on this forum (one website I think is OWNED by a forum member, maybe both are). Crazy-tech.net (user "sino1), and masterkits.ru (user "kt315")
My questions: any experienced members order one of these pre-made detectors? How do they compare to the kits from Silverdog (assuming proper assembly by myself)? Are there other pre-made detectors in this price/quality range (or cheaper) from other reputable websites?
If these questions are inappropriate or inappropriate for this part of the forum, kindly let me know -I don't want to step on anybody's toes!
