Simple Metal Detector Using 555 Timer

This metal detector electronic project schematic circuit is designed using a simple 555 timer integrated circuit . As you can see in the schematic circuit , this metal detector electronic project requires few external electronic parts . This circuit detects metal and also magnets. Metal Detector with 555 Timer Circuit Daigram When a magnet is brought close to the 10mH choke, the output frequency changes. This metal detector project can be powered from a power supply that can provide an output DC voltage between 6 an 12 volt . If a metal is closer to the L1 coil , will produce a change of output oscillation frequency, that will generate a sound in the 8 ohms speaker

Coil Coupled Operation Metal Detector

A Coil Coupled Operation Metal Detector made from readily obtainable components and using an ordinary medium receiver as a detector. Coil Coupled Operation Metal Detector Circuit Diagram Notes: The metal detector shown here may well represent a new genre. At any rate, after some exposure, it is regarded as such by those who have seen it. It is based on a standard transformer coupled oscillator (TCO)  hence the name Coil Coupled Operation (CCO) Metal Detector. Although requiring a BFO (in this case provided by a Medium Wave radio), it differs from a typical BFO detector in that its performance far outstrips that of BFO. Also, unlike BFO, it is dependent on the balance of two coils to boost sensitivity. It also differs from IB, in that its Rx section is an active, rather than passive, component of the oscillator. Further, unlike IB, the design does not require critical placement of the coils. As with both BFO and IB, the design provides discrimination. Experiments with different embo...
