How to make your own Metal Detector

Published by admin at 10:35 am under Blogs

Ever wanted to be like McGyver and construct your very own metal detector out of a spoon, your pocketknife, and a rubber band? Well look no further! I found this interesting site = Wonderhowto.com which shows you several ways to “Hack a Metal Detector.” It seems you can turn just about anything into a metal detector after watching some of these videos. For instance I had no idea that a calculator, radio, and even my cellphone could be capable of such things! I’m sure the strength of these so called “modern” metal detectors are weak and probably won’t find you treasure. Who knows though, they may just save you in a survival situation or give you some amusement as you locate your keys under the sofa.

If you are up for a challenge and get one of these homebrew mods to work, send it into our flickr photos or just comment back!

    Before saying something is a fake, try verifying your work. Be certain all components are placed correctly. I have built circuits for over 20 years and it happens all the time.

    I just found your web log from a unconnected yahoo lookup and I love your post. 1st post I read this day that really gives sense. I just began blogging and I want to center on security system blog but I got a trouble with my first post, I got a lot of spams in my comment box. I noticed you have clean comments here. What anti spam program are you utilizing? Hope you can assist me, thank you. — Regards, Jen
