    TX is cut off, RX is one sine wave.

    Maybe it is not adjusted with board or ...

      15nF can be changed to 10nF or less
      How do I calculate that value ?

      attention chosse for lc circuit if caps are parallel or in serie

        It's better for RX to be nearer to the ground (for better signal pickup).
        For less noise it would be better if the outer wires were towards electrical ground.

        I use this calculator to find cap values;

        hi all does any one have a multi input calculator, like this one but so it will give cap values, if you know the freq and inductance.

          Can you try gold coin?
          Rings are difficult...
          i dont have gold coin bro i just have gold ring
          my gold ring is real gold i buy it

            • hahaha now i have fix my tgsl but i dont know working in outside or not
              but now is working find
              i change
              caps 15nf to 10nf
              sens pot 10k to 25k

                So bro do you have sound when you touch the box of TGSL??,how about deep same or ??

                Comment


                • the deep is not same bro lost to much deep but all noise sound is gone
                  and very stable 1euro i got about 28cm
                  small gold ring about 25cm

                  • now problem noise again
                    need help how to
                    measure voltage
                    from

                    LM358
                    LM393
                    Lm308
                    LF353

                    All i see on schematic Pin 4 is 5v and pin 8 and 7 is 8v

                      U101 and gate or TR5

                      With lot of EM fields.
                      If I get metal close to coil it clears - sine wave.

                      Only coil shield (USB cable shield and coil shield - mylar) is on GND and one of two wires TX (from PCB)

                      • this is commercial detector
                        all will be silent with this project

                          You can try to find manual how to convert TGSL EDU to regular TGSL.
                          It has less amplification as I recall - so stable detector and probably same depth.

                          Looking for TGSL field test video - test coin bed.
                          Anyone ?

                          • Well reducing the 1meg in the first filters to 470k is a start.
                            The original had a small TX 8.X volts as I remember so adding
                            the FET stabilizer will tone the TX down.

                            These designs are sensitive to TX and RX changes. I'd recommend
                            building as per original schematics before doing any mods.

                            • I found some MAX667 LDO's that I'm going to use on my TGSL.
                              The big thing about these is they are adjustable! So I can run
                              the TGSL at 7v from a 9v battery! Nice!

                              http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/pr...rs/MAX667.html

                              The original 8v LDO I used was a 1.5 amp device and used 10ma by itself
                              this one is 20 microamps.

                              • Finished second DD coil for my second TGSL kit.
                                Standard 30 cm for 1 EURO coin indoors with sens at 3/4.
                                What can I change to gain more depth ?

                                RX and TX caps ... to adjust freq.
                                15 nF (it is 10nF now) and 22nF and 220 nF ?

                                RX 6.5mH 25.8 Ohm - tried to be on that value - extra few turns
                                TX 6.0mH 24.5 Ohm
