But Geo... which kind of generator are you using ? Isn't something like the Dell's omnitron thing ? I mean... you inject something square wave into the soil... just have 20Vpp at output ?

Personally I don't trust l-rods but maybe you're experienced with them or have some ability I haven't. I simply don't know, but the signal gen stuff seems interesting: how do you feel more detection range ? Just your idea or you actually found something that way ?


Kind regards,

Hi Max
Long time to see you
Without the generator, only with L rods i can locate some objects from 30, maybe and 50 meters. No good because i have a friend that can locate coins from 2 Km far !!!
With the generator i can take signal at my rods from500m very easy. I use sine signal 20v P-P. I use the Farnell PSG-1000a (remember i wanted the schematic, i repaired it) and a ampl with TDA 2030 at the output. All at 25.5 v DC.
Of course i found objects with the generator at long distance, but not every time accurary . Some times i put frequency for gold or coper i i find stones
Regards
