Minelab Multi-IQ vs Multi-IQ+, or why X-Terra ELITE and EQUINOX coils don't work on the Manticore

Several people have asked what the "+" in Multi-IQ+ means. Others are unhappy that their X-Terra ELITE and EQUINOX coils don't work on the Manticore.

Yesterday I watched...

Hi all,

I'm starting a new long thread - a funny blog of my experiments, measurements, experience and findings - related all the good stuff in the thread topic.
The goal of this effort is:
- to have fun and entertain you
- to improve metal detection, GB, Disc, etc....

I came across X-ray images of several search coils in this thread:

I spent some time working out which coil each X-ray belongs to, and it grew into a catalog. Here's the first version.

I am working on a new version of the Felezjoo that includes some improvements. It is still in the testing phase—as you can see, it is in the early stages—but it is coming along well.

I have already conducted preliminary tests; the unit features switchable Ground Tracking and a numerical...

By now you have probably noticed some new items on the Navigation menu:



I am slowly working on integrating all of the material I have into the forum space so it is easier to find. I have finished moving most of the patents so you should see this:

I've changed the forum Search to use Google search instead. This allows short words and quoted phrases, like "PI discrimination". It also allows negated words such as

Foster -Eric

will find posts that have Jeff Foster and E. Foster but not Eric Foster.

Hello. I would like to introduce an external speaker system I designed and built for the GPX 4500 and GPX 5000.
I developed this speaker not only to output sound from the detector but also to ensure that faint target signals are heard as clearly and cleanly as possible.
The speaker housing...

Currently, we are trying to avoid the interference of metals and electronic components on the metal detection plate. However, there is an issue: our vehicle's front end is relatively heavy. Are there any effective structural designs or methods for shielding metal detectors that can resolve this problem...

Hi everyone,

sharing something I've been playing with lately on the boards for my detector. Maybe
someone finds it useful.

I hooked up two tools to an AI agent and used them to redesign my probe board:

- Konnect (https://github.com/mixelpixx/Konnect) is the...

I am starting this thread to serve as a dedicated space for deep-diving into the foundational physics and mathematical modeling behind Pulse Induction (PI) technology. While there are plenty of excellent threads on specific DIY builds and schematics, I wanted a place where we can collectively break...

Greetings to all,

First post here. My name is Thomas. I am a n00b to both electronics and metal detection—my background is in organic chemistry. Anyways, I have a Clone PI-W, the SMD version with the row of LEDs (not the through hole / LCD). Doing some experiments at home winding smaller...

Hello everyone,
We are Matchbox Tech, a small team developing SandWorm, an experimental autonomous metal-detecting rover.
The project is designed to let the rover handle repetitive walking and systematic scanning while the detectorist remains in control of the search and digging. More information...

Hi everyone,

Some of you might remember me from years ago, others probably not - it’s been quite a while since I was active in the detector building community.

I’m turning 50 in just a few days, and as I hit this milestone, I found myself reflecting on the projects that...

This thread will list errata for ITMD3.

Looking for a associate, a partner (whatever) from EU, USA etc.
To produce pcb for this one and to sell as kit or ready device.
It is magnetometry logger made completely by me.
I wrote the code and i designed the project.
Completely genuine.
It is portable, adaptable and...
