Default Build me a “Super Pistol LRL”

Hi To You All,

I have been looking in at this Remote Sensing section of the forum since 2005; I have now joined the forum.

I think it’s great to see how well all you guys get on “Well most of the time HA HA” helping each other out with electronic parts making your own components, inventing and constructing you LRL`s.

Testing them and making adjustments to find the best results.

I have been into metal detecting since 1972, and must confess to purchasing a Range tell Examiner in 2006, although at first I believed that it was a brilliant unit in tests in my own garden, it soon became apparent testing out on farmland in the country near my home that it could not cope with all the EMF signals there.

I must tell you though I did manage to find two targets one was just in front of me about 2 meters out just after tuning the unit, to “EXP for round target” it was a medieval Jetton 14th Cent, the other find was a 2nd Cent Roman bronze coin this was on a different day.

Maybe these two finds where a “fluke” as I carried out many tests on several outings with miserable results, I place out 8 marking canes for each detected target, then use my detector to pinpoint each one usually nothing!

Sorry to go on so long but would one of you clever lads be prepared to build me a “Super Pistol LRL” with all the best features possible, It would need to reject iron and also pick up on small coin and ring sized targets?

If so how much would you require building this unit?

I only want one to use for myself but I’m a carpenter not an electronics engineer, although I did build a second RT unit to experiment with “still no good though”

only silver and gold

when i return to UK i will show you one good LRL,and you take me to some interesting treasure places,where exist the chance to find something valuable.

the unplouged fields are the best to work with LRL´s,other fields where the tractor remove the soil,is to forget,all the energy fields gone and LRL cant find targets,unless the object is very deep.

Hi Morgan,

Your LRL detector looks to be a good clean and tidy unit is there only the one tuning knob? Are there any other controls that need to be set?

What is the range of detection, and maximum depth?

You mention about interesting areas to search here in the UK when you visit next.

There are two places that we have found Roman coin hoards and it is tradition here that if you find a hoard of bronze coins then there is a good possibility that silver or gold could be present in the area?

We also know of another hoard of Roman coins and a dagger found nearby.

Also found a fair amount of Saxon and Celtic Brooches and coins in the areas we search, these are all good areas to search.

I look forward to taking you to some good areas to search.

Regards

Morgan,

Your LRL detector in your video is different from the one above?

Well,i already spend many years building this LRL´s...
This PDK-2 model is only one knob,very easy to use.
According the field test results,one silver or gold coin can be detected from 2m to 10 m,depends on age and ground conditions. If we are looking for treasure hoard,20m to 80m.

Ok,i keep your Email,and when have time,i visit you. I have a few friends in UK,and i like so much to search there ;-)

regards

This machine can locate from a distance 1000 gold coins in a metal box?buried before 70 years?1 metre deep inside the ground?if yes I like to buy it.

Attachment 17140
I really like your PDK -2 and PDK-3 is the one in your video PDK-4?

Also can we see PDK - 1

I noticed that I haven’t exactly had a flood of offers from you technical guys to build me a “SuperPistol LRL” yet but I’m still waiting patiently.

I can build the case for it I just need a clever person to build the electronic circuit “I’m happy to pay”

Your thoughts would be appreciated?

Maybe you wondering,why i´m not very rich yet with so good devices? Its becouse in my country we dont have big treasures like in UK or Germany,and the law for metal detecting here is ridiculous.Even in the beach is forbiden to search !!!

What?

If Portuguese police see you find 1 euro in the sand, then you must hide it or they take you to prison?

Not good.

Best wishes,

Portugal is a CRAP of country,i feel sad to born here...

If you go to the beach with metal locator,pay 2500EURO to police and lose the metal locator.

I love USA ,UK and AUSTRALIA,very good law for MD hobby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
