It is hard to debate your difficulties, if we even don't know, what your are trying.

Put here some scheme or at least block scheme around your problem, to discuss.

I can swear to not patent or commercially exploit your idea. I am sure others also.

[Mike(Mont)]

I have other Wile E. Coyote ideas to try if the higher voltage diode doesn't help. Sorry for even posting my difficulties. Guess i just need somebody's shoulder to cry on.

Thanks for your offer. If I get very desperate I may take you up on it, but I'm not there just yet. if that happens it probably would be after i get skunked a few more times in the field and it's way too cold to work outdoors so that could be a while. The Contraption SEEMS to work, just that like the movie "Arthur' after he asks the bartender for another drink, the bartender asks him "Haven't you had enough?" Arthur replies "I want MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!"

P.S. Don't hold your breath waiting on this. I've said before anyone wants in on this you will need to make a large investment. Originally said $100k but later said closer to $50k which means somewhere around $74,999.99. A good chunk of that would go to building up inventory or at least being able to quickly produce the inventory as to take the market by storm. that way the counterfeiters would be a step behind. Price is to be determined. they would sell like hotcakes. But first I need to get it working--nothing happening before I make some good finds. Ain't there yet.

Or i could do like that one outfit and sell them for $20,000 each. Probably better idea. Or the other one for $8k+ and sell more units.

really like the idea of a metal detector sized attachment "pinpointer" unit that just looks in the ground under the coil for Gold or Silver targets, or even Diamonds after you make a location. It goes through cast iron stove so don't know how much thickness it can penetrate.

[Mike(Mont)]

Chalk up another strike against me. Again i am starting to think there is no solution here--just a fatal design flaw. But I will try the better diode. It's in Denver so maybe in a couple of days.

I guess i will just shut up and stop my whining if that is possible. Probably not. I'm gonna get that damned Roadrunner...or go crazy trying. Oops, maybe already too late.

[Mike(Mont)]

Starting to feel like i am trying to stem the tide with a teaspoon. I think Arthur had some good advice. Give me a beer.

Got more tricks up my sleeve. Can't you just see Wile E. Coyote rubbing his hands together?

[Mike(Mont)]

The day of reckoning is here. Parts in town "out for delivery", so will know today if it's gasoline or suicide. Just have totally lost any sort of hope that i will solve this issue, but never say never. "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" (Janis Joplin)

No more joking today. The diode did not fix anything, just lowered the power level.

hi mike, been reading thread and had an idea, how about having separate power supplies, if the two circuits are isolated would that help?.

[Mike(Mont)]

How's it going? Yeah, tried most options in my knowledge base. Isolated the high voltage on the positive side and the negative side with 1000volt diodes--all quiet as a mouse but starts to scream (through the receiver at close range) as soon as i turn on the amp. The circuits must be acting like an antenna. The Contraption SEEMS to work--I've just reached the end of my patience with it. At least for now. I get skunked a few times and maybe I'll change my attitude. Other stuff I can try but I really need to take a break from it.

[kostas87]

I think Mike, a rob
resistance is ideal for you at this time. LoL...... After that I tell you for the divace how to wipe the metals in the field.

[Mike(Mont)]

Yes, I need a break from all my mental confusion.

I am always interested in hearing about any new projects, especially ones that find treasure.

Sorry, I haven't tried your device yet. i need to think about it a bit in order to decide what parts i can use for the insulating sleeve. My L-rods are thin about 3mm diameter. Okay, maybe just a piece of plastic and drill a hole through it and use epoxy.

[reza vir]

Figured it was easier to start a new thread but it's the same problem--coil goes to ground and I want to isolate it from the other circuits. The battery (voltage regulator), the signal generator all go to ground and I do not want the coil signal connected to these.

It just seems like this is what i might need but have no electronics knowledge here. I've watched some videos on this but that's as far as i got. I would appreciate if if anyone could steer me to a place I could learn more about this in order to design something. Thanks.

Well, at least I think that is what I need. Not really sure about anything here.

This article talks about the TLE2426 noise reduction.

Pretty sure I am over my knowledge ability here so don't anybody spend too much time on this or you will get frustrated with me for sure.

This is not your regular coil circuit and I think I need to get some professional help. I mean WITH THE CIRCUIT!!!

Hello my friend
This circuit can help you
Used on many devices

[Mike(Mont)]

Thanks Reza Vir, after viewing your schematic I just remembered the L7805 can use capacitors.My brain is not so sharp after all my melt-downs, personal trauma, etc. and more to come. I have nothing left to lose at this point.

[Mike(Mont)]

I found the caps I need so will get it together later today and see what happens. I feel like I am mentally challenged. Okay, I am. Thanks for your help.
