What is the maximum depth at which a metal will find

Keith sells a coil if you have a trouble on it http://compass-metal-detector-forum....td7588112.html

TESORO 8 1/2" Wide Scan Search Coil --- 5 Pin Connector, at low price. may be applicable... have not full data on the coil.

I just thought id get lucky but no biggie I keep looking or just make one thanks I have a very blurry finished board pic but when i find the camera cord they'll be right sorry

GMT is working with a coil without capacitors inside, both on TX side and on RX side too. that is Tesoro type coil. I have no data on Whites 4b type, but thinking Whites always made coils with the capacitors inside. I do not suggest you, but you may open it and desolder the capacitors... 4b type has oldie 'omega' windings/balancing configuration IMO.

KT I found a whites concentric for 14 on ebay is there any way to make it work for this detector its called a 4b. its 6 something kh I think

thought may be I have to add Tesoro's Golden Sabre Plus to the list according Monte's info.

Tesoro's Golden Sabre Plus. The Golden Sabre didn't have the dual tone. The Golden Sabre Plus had the dual-tone audio, like the Royal Sabre, and also operated at 15 kHz (Tesoro's info) which was the same as the King Cobra.

Just remember that you run the risk of damaging a detector and the value is almost zip.

I'd simply tweak the GB trimmer for the worst ground where you're likely to hunt, then go enjoy the King Cobra. I worked with a lot of King Cobras as a distributor, mainly working moderate to highly mineralized locations, and once I tweaked it (not TOO positive, just slightly) I NEVER had a problem.

ok I have everything KT for the small value caps in 50pf can I go with 47pf 50v or should I use 51pf 200v or is this going to cause an issue ?

'50' typo nominal value is American standart (from USA that had been spreaded in Taiwan, China and Japan). in our part of world we have 47 and 51 and no 50. both 47 and 51pF will be OK. main rule in electronics is that the caps' voltage value has to be no less than power supply voltage plus some reserve. for /+8-8/=/16/ we have to choice 16+X, ie 20V and 25V caps. 50V and 200V will be OK.

all the best
