the big antenna no need. Only this one you need. Sample is in the midle,can use silver ring.

Hi Morgan.
LOng time that i don´t speak to you, but on this time of the year, i had lots of things to do. So my time to experiment, has limeted to a few minutes or hours. I hope after i finish some work, i will be back 100% to conclude my pdk.
About zahori antenna, you said that the external loop is not needed. So can you please let us know if the center antenna, plus the ring that i also have set up like the one on the picture you post, have the same dimensions? What did you gain with this mod?
My mini zahori, have both antennas and the ring at the center. My expiencies are minimal with it. I had detected a saml aluminium foil about 1 meter distance. Also i got power lines from about a mile on the country side.

Regards

Nelson

Well,this is good results for the Mini Zahori,if you catch the aluminium you will catch the gold too.
Try the LRL near your TV,if without the Big antenna become more sensitive to TV screen radiation use with the small and SAMPLE only,if not,let stay like this.
In my Mini Zahori it works 3 X more sensitive without the big antenna.

Would you like to post here one photo of your Mini Zahori ?
For others to see how to build the BOX(wood only)

Hello

As i told,after disconnect the large coil i get 3 times more power in the MINI ZAHORI(locating my TV screen),but maybe lose the LRL efect in the fields,i need to make more tests...

The Zahori is the best LRL for the beginers,but i have the PDK´s for my TH,i´m not a beginner ;-)

Better you follow the Nelson´s clues in building the Zahori,becouse he already found something,silver paper,but this is better than nothing,it means his device is working.
He well constructed the Mini Zahori.

If I get any real indication I will improve on it, that's for sure.

hi morgan
I want to combine them bfo with Mini Zahori .Please help me to make this plan.How to incorporate it into what is antenna type, it will be like?Whether its sensitivity to small metals goes up?
waiting for you

well,this is much more dificult,and the BFO+Zahori is unstable becouse BFO drift a lot.

Better the Mini Zahori alone,TURN ON AND GO,is automatic.

Default Starting Box

Well I'm cutting out a 8x5x1 wooden box with my laser and will start on the circuit monday. It's the weekend here so it will have to wait. Morgan The BFO is like some vlf detector LRL I'm guessing. The BFO is set near or at the gold frequency and also is setup to detect the changes in the effect. Any way I'll test the unit and keep updates here.

40W. I use it for many different things. It's very easy to use. I draw out the design in auto-cad and the laser program cut to scale.

2 passes @ 20% power. About 20 seconds. That's the sides of the box that I will glue together to make the 8x5 frame.

40W laser is not a good thing to mess with

think about reflections it could have , can hurt... your eyes and make you blind if you don't use special glasses, forget about if you're not trained to use them at such (or bigger that that) power

just my 50 cents

regards
Max

I agree, unsure if I had something similar I think it will work properly....

Morgan,

Thanks for picture of your mini Zahori just a couple of questions.

Could you show a picture of the front?

I don’t quite understand why you need the front wooden disc covering the antenna, as I thought that the timber would dull the signal strength as this is a directional antenna?

Also using metal bolts & nut would this have any affect on signal strength?

I hope that this doesn’t sound too stupid but I just want to understand.

Thanks

Hi to all friends that make mini zahori...

did you really can detect buried gold by this device ?

How can we calibrate mini zahori for detecting only gold or only silver ?

Thanks...
