  • Hi Deghbar613,
    Sorry I saw your post late.
    If the pulse width and cycle length are stable, then what you show on the oscillograms is very similar to a malfunction in the input circuit (partial discharge).
    Check for problems with the damping resistor and the serial resistor and the health of the clamp diodes.
    If they are OK, it is most likely a shortening of the cable or between some turns of the coil.
    Try a different coil and cable.​

    PS:Also check the space between the incoming rails, mostly around the high-voltage rail (MOSFET drain).

    • did you Bara on George's schematic (mod) or original?

        Hi kt315 thx for reply i am using Geotech Baracuda - REV-A

        This is a Geotech version of the popular Baracuda PI metal detector, which has been updated to correct several problems and schematic discrepancies associated with the original design.

          Hi boilcoil thx for reply
          i change coil but its the same problem
          i am beginner but i think the problem is from the mosfet is fake. i don't have other one to change it

          • This U4 PIN4 do you think is ok ?

            • you have big influence from 50Hz power line. re-tune Bara on sure 600Hz. (50 multiplay on 12)

              what is your country?

                  I didn't understand what mean (you have big influence from 50Hz power line).

                          • i suggest you to go in a school near you and to tell with a teacher of physics about '230 VOLTS AC', what is it, for what is it, and common achievements of a civilization
                            in the Electricity.
