  • Hi Hammerhead - I have found something fantastic for you - it is even directly in Alexandria:

    http://store.fut-electronics.com/pro...etector-sensor

    No, you are not hit by the curse of the Pharaos - but perhaps it is the curse of the Lighthouse!
    btw. I have a book about lighthouses!
    I hope that you will receive the parcel soon! Can you track the parcel over the internet?
    Can you call the customs or would it be too dangerous?

    Anyways, now my friend you will finally get a working metal detector! Enjoy and celebrate !!!

      Thanks to you, my friend, this shop is located just half an hour from my home

      • Yeah, the world is small for people like us!

        You are welcome! It was a pleasure for me helping you out.

        And now you also may have found some friends in Alexandria who can
        help you to built some metal-detector which is perfect for your needs.

        It is not expensive, it is pulse induction which is good for the beach
        and depending on the coil-size you also can detect very deep stuff!
        Building different kind of coils for the detector also is no problem.

        In other words: Everything now is perfect for you!


        Please post some pictures of your new detector if you like
        and the best luck wishes that you will find super treasures!

        • Any news from Arionas or his detector?
          Here is the perfect connection Greece-Alexandria - its a 5 star cognac.

          Hammerhead, if you have enough money it would be the best if you buy 2 units of
          the arduino detector because that way you have a backup device and you never
          know when this shop must close or has to remove the metal-detector-offer.

            Hello my friend Azizana Sorry it took a long time to reply you the reason electronics store I bought them Detector but does not function go by to the shop gives me detector last time Beyond time three days and the seller wily this Detector my friend unstuck not discover gold and must be be the size of the detected 10 cm specifications in pictures Click image for larger version

                So far, it did not reach anything from Greece

                  48 turns seems a lot. Your coil must have an inductance of over 2mH!

                      Hello Sidi Do you suggest that I edit coil What are occasion number of turns please

                        • Hello Hammerhead,

                          you have 2 options:

                          1. future electronics should help you with the coil
                          2. ask if they can find for you another metal-detector

                          Thank you for the pictures - well, your coil looks pretty large.

                          I don't know how much power and sensitivity the arduino detector has
                          but perhaps it is better for you, if you start first with some smaller coil.


                          A law of thumb for coils is: Use the same amount or length of wire.

                          That's why some 1 meter pulse induction loops only contain just 10 windings.
                          It doesn't work for all detectors this way but pulse induction coils are not that
                          complicated to built. Just make sure that the windings are fixed tight together.
                          If the PI-detector is too weak, a too large coil will lose the most of its energy.
                          Perhaps the coil diameter limit for the arduino is ca. 30cm. Make some tests.


                          Anyways, I hope that you have now the direct support from the guys of
                          future electronics! And, they have shown already that the arduino works.
                          So the problems should be solved very soon and perhaps they even can
                          find for you some better metal detector! If they have good connections.

                            Try 25 turns on a 25cm diameter circular coil.
                            Did you remember to fit a damping resistor?

                              Hammerhead, I don't know how seriously is the "crime" at Egypt of having or using
                              a metaldetector - from simple wallsearchers over selfbuilt stuff to profi-equipment,
                              but perhaps you are meanwhile a suspect because of the "not allowed" content of
                              the parcels sent to your address. I'll hope the whole trouble is worth it. Take care.

                                Hello my friend thank you for caring for me I'm not suspicious or anything like that's all there is to it I am a man who wants to develop his work on the sea because it is by Li way to earn a livelihood in this rough days we did you know the price of a gram of gold 470 LE something very difficult tremendous of inflation
