I know the irf 9640 clamps at 200V so can i still increase the tx pulse width and get more depth even though the 200v clamping has reached its max voltage ?????

There are various snubbers in use. their common feature is that they clamp high voltage spikes through an appropriate resistor, so that you get precisely what you are after. Their main use is in industry where flybacks must be tamed.
Just put "snubber circuits" in google and be amazed.
I'm toying with a simple circuit right now, but with some other devious ideas on my mind

daverave look here to see a snubber circuit

It's a diode coupled RC type of thing...

Yes and no. Depends on what you want to achieve. My intention is to measure subtle changes in coil inductance by means of constant current drive, and measuring voltage changes on a snubber. E.g. I wish to get X component directly, and thus have ferrous discrimination.

sounds very interesting if you can measure ferrous in this way !!! one of the best discrimination methods i saw somebody do some years ago was something called pivot point discrimination where each type of metal had its own pivot point so you could tell say a ring from a bottle top or whatever metal and each would have its own tone...and it worked !!!! but hard to impliment and the engineer didnt see the project through whi ch was a shame.
