KT315.................I can't read Chinese so maybe you can translate for us!!.......Looks good but is this just a Chinese copy of an American/U.K. design??...........I do not read Chinese but I do know detectors.....it has a sensitivity control, discrimination level control, battery alert light?, says TC-90, and a mode control or a pinpoint type switch/button?? and it looks like it has a 10 inch coil and an armrest...........Try one out and give us a report.....Joe

Maybe not ... but I can.
All it says is: dixia jinshu tanceqi
In other words: undergound metal detector
And the manufacturer's name is MuGuilin.
I think they're located in Shanghai.
...........I did not know that Treasure Hunting in China was/is Legal.........Evidently if they allow metal detectors to be made........IT MUST BE LEGAL..........maybe ONE need a permit??................I can just imagine at what could be found in China......a country 1000's of years old................Joe
Searchcoil plug pictures, wires were shorting out causing falsing, now repaired. Probably the crappy soldering and quality control of the coil makers for Minelab. Which forced Minelab to have new closed center coils made by another company

Good pics - circuit or other side of board available?
Tell us more about using the detector, compared to others.

Look two posts above you will see the other side.
There will also be a link to my website with more Sterling info also pictures of the Musketeer X. As well as field tests.
They are hard to come by, most owners won't sell them. They do have a cult following......They can easily compete with many high end detectors
out today. Easy to add external ground balance and threshold controls if wanted to make it tunable for any ground minerals.
These metal box detectors (fit into the palm of your hands) were the beginnings of the Colt thru Musketeer XS-Advantage models.
I haven't even had chance to super tune this particluar one. Right now I am using it with a Musketeer Advantage 8" coil.
I'm not a pro at writing schematics.
If this detector looks like it would be a do it yourself build, I am willing to retake the pictures in a much larger size.
And store them on the web for downloading.
