Hello forum members, I built a pdk based on Alonso circuit. It is now operational but I think need some fine tuning because it detects long time buried metals including rusted iron, until now Im not sure how to narrow the detection for gold. 1.5 battery spark is at 1 meter.

Hi Dear my congratulation nice work and good distance for spark 1 meter is so better
How frequency and how specification for your coil? diameter wire and milliHenry
and what Capacitor you use? in parallel of coil I mean.
Hi Nicolas, here is another picture of my pdk. The coil is 80mm diameter, with 90 turns, # 28 AWG wire diameter. I don't know its inductance because I have no inductance meter, I only made estimate on some calculations, maybe 820 to 980 milihenry. I put 1n capacitor parallel to the coil because this value make the pdk sensitive. My observation is that this pdk performs better with higher inductance of coil.
Can you give me frequency for gold on my country? Philippines.

Hi Aulook
Woow my Dear friend nice work for your two PDK
Yes I see you have put capacitor 1nF and if we consider this Value
we have only 5Kz
But we need minimal to detect noble metal buried between 55 Khz to 115 Khz
I think for your country is 78.9 but I m not sure only by Calculation
You can try Other frequency
This is my PDK
I have test the spark is only for few cm 22 to 25
And I have test near TV is few distance 1 to 1.5 m
I think your Device is so more better or you have low frequency
