just a thought, hmm theory and practice he. here we go. oke, probe's to juice up the earth's target (set freq with mfd/function gen, osc to target's response), ANTENNA (L.freq see link) to track the harmomic response(E.M.S) of target, find hotspot/pinpoint with spectrum analyzer, osc etc plenty of goodies for the pda's and who know's.
maybe these pda's are handy yet, run in conjunction with........................

thought i share this thought with u all.

greeting's from down under.

Peter,

Good thought and I plan on doing something similar (I think). What I'm going to do is to put the output of a noise generator into the ground via a pair of copper rods and have a untuned searchcoil go into an Sigma/Delta board into my laptop that has a Spectrum Analyzer program. I will plant differant metals in the ground to see if I can detect them and if so if they will show unique spectral signatures.

randy,

sounds like we are on the same wave lenght.
i made up a pair of brass probe's as in the mfd project and are going experimenting with different setup's to drive these probe's, exp with different reciever's for picking up waves, and for pc/pda's software to analyze the info i be getting, and hopefully we are going to pick up a pattern somewere that give's us a target i.d.
going to exp in a big pit that i will grid out, hide the gold, and trace it back with the above.
the idee is basicly to stick the rod's somewere in a potential spot, juice up the earth and let the tracer do the rest. sounds to easy hmmmmmmm.
lets give it a go .
