  • Ground Balance to negate effects of ground mineralisation

    My question is how do metal detectors using the PI technique ground balance ? is there a foolproof method used by most, or are there many various methods ?

    I am currently in the preliminary stages of building the TWINLOOP TREASURE SEEKER, this design uses two coils to negate effect of mineralisation by putting the two coils very close to one another and subtracting the output of one from the other.

    My spidey senses are telling me that this is a fairly unique way of doing this as most PI's are described to only use one search coil...However I may be way off.

    If this question has already been answered then my apologies, however I have not been able to locate an answer on this site.

    Any help on the matter would be very much appreciated, and any other information regarding this detector will also be welcome as I am building this as a project for first year of university.

    Thankyou all in advance !

    Connor - look in your copy of ITMD at page 174, and Fig. 2.19. This is the most common method used for ground balance in a PI.
    Also read the section concerning sampling on page 173.
