Remember to swap your R18 and R22 around - as typo on the silk screen.

PCB and Schematic were ok - just typo on the silk screen..

Scary question isnt it.

If your PI isnt doing depth... take a look at your battery choice.


You need cells that laugh at delivering approx 6AMP pulses.

All. What current flows thru PI coil when FET is on?

???? Something silly here,.. shut down, still cant access,.. but found a (weak) unsecured wireless access point and got through OK??!!?? not sure if I should,, but will go ' surf ' his site?? {Oh, to be a knowledgabe geek!!}

Cheers, Fred

Sounds like it's a problem with your router.

It's still ok for me on both Firefox and IE.
See if you can make contact with the server via an MSDOS window (Start -> Run -> Cmd) and type "ping www.silverdog.co.uk".
If not, try rebooting your router.

Website seems to be ok. There's no need to source the parts yourself, as there's already a kit available -> http://www.silverdog.co.uk/shop/inde...&product_id=76
A mono coil for a PI is one of the simplest to build. I suggest you read the Hammerhead article for additional information of how a PI works, and especially the part on coil building.

Hiya Guys, reading this thread/forum with interest,.... my name is Fred, in Mansfield, Notts, England,... I have dabbled with electronics for a while, but not metal detecting,... I have decided to have a go at a P.I. unit,.. & this one looks as well supported, and buildable as any!!!

Anyway, I will read a little more,.. try to get my head round the circuit diagram,,, and, as my first daft, newbie question, it appears to me that a lot of the ability of this finished product is down to the search coil, yes/no???

Ok, catch you later, as I try to source the parts!! LOL.

Cheers, Fred

(P.S. tried to contact Silverdog via website, but get "server Down" message,... so sent a P.M., carrier pigeon next!! LOL )

I don't own the domain silverdog.com, it was already taken - I just own silverdog.co.uk

Hi Silverdogi try to send you a PM but i dont know why dont work
please i like to order pcb surfmaster please send me a email in [email protected]
thank you

Just go to Silverdog's website at http://www.silverdog.co.uk and you can order the PCB directly from there.

Silverdog ... by the way, I accidently entered www.silverdog.com, and it does not redirect to www.silverdog.co.uk. All you get is a title saying "Welcome to Silverdog.com".
