Youse guys are sooooo far behind (especially you, Jim & Elton)!!
------I built/tested ALL of the above PLUS MUCHO--repeat, MUCHO more five years ago!!---It worked quite well actually---what coupled with the combo of my new back hoe.----Of course I only used it out in open areas & with complete knowledge & permission of the property owner of what I was up to!!-----The problem I had was: the stinkin thing kept spittin fire from which I in turn, was getting shocks from with no apparent recourse of a grounding procedure.----Well, I FINALLY got this (somewhat) under control so I used it at night (as we were having VERY warm (read HOT) weather.-------That wasn't the answer either (as although I was hitting targets halfway to China & it was more comfortable detecting)--the blinding flashes coming off of the machine (mainly coil area) was still SO BAD at night that I no way could see to run my back hoe to retrieve the target(s)!-----I'm not going into details of this "bad boy" machine as that part is privy info & I might want to make another attempt in the development of this killer (if I live long enough)!!-----Thanks for listening & HH.
------P.S. I'm gonna go get my second cup of coffee!-----------------Del
