Metal Detector "Smart Hunter"
Metal detector “Smart Hunter” is a project that will help you build a powerful VLF metal detector. This metal detector is based on an Arduino microcontroller and a smartphone. Here you will find all the necessary tutorials. Just follow the tutorials step by step and if you have any questions contact us. This metal detector is able to detect a gold ring or a coin at a distance of 30 cm, a lid of a pot with the diameter of 20 cm can detect at 90 cm! Start now and build your own “Smart Hunter” metal detector!
Premium Version
Premium version is a bit different from the free version because it has an internal generator, so in the Premium version it is not necessary to use arduino nor the MOSFET, which facilitates the assembly. The frequency of internal generator can already be chosen within the app in the PRO menu. The generator can generate from 20 Hz to 20 kHz but to detect what we are going to do we will need only from 4 kHz to 20kHz, because the working frequency of most of the “VLF” metal detectors is between 4 kHz and 20 kHz. The assembly is the same as in the free version, but in the Premium version it is easier for not using the arduino and also cheaper. Operation of the internal generator: internal generator generates the sine wave with the selected frequency and the generator signal goes to the transmitter coil (Tx), but since the signal is weak, we must amplify it, that’s why we use an amplifier. In the online store Aliexpress there are many different amplifiers, in the video tutorial i use one of those cheap amplifiers. This amplifier is cheap and very easy to use, has only input/output and power “5v” . The receiver coil still unchanged as in the free version. That means that we mount the receiver coil (Rx) as we can see in the schematic, only if we use Premium version we no longer need the arduino part. On the internet there many schematics how to make an homemade amplifier , so if somebody want to build a homemade amplifier it also will work. The amplifier used in this video has output 3 watts , if we are going to use the coil with bigger size then we must use amplifier with output 15 watts more or less ( depends on the size of the coil). Below in the section “Free Version” we can find video tutorials how to make the coils and how to adjust them, this assembly is the same for the both coils. ,
The PCB of version 2.0.0
A new version of the PCB has been launched. In the new version 2.0.0 a preamplifier has been added to the receiver coil, which has considerably increased the sensitivity and stability of this MD. When using this version, you must select the value of the “Rx splitter” 1000 or 500 in the application configuration. You can try an other values, but the tests showed that these are the two most optimal values. You can also try changing the volume of multimedia on your smartphone, since it is responsible for the strength of the signal that goes to the transmission coil. Increase the volume almost to the maximum for more sensitivity. Increasing the sensitivity without losing stability can change the resistance R4. Less than 1.5k, I do not recommend putting, you have keep in mind if we increase the value of this resistance the sensitivity decreases, but the stability improves.
Assemble the PCB and tests (Soon wil be translated):

Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at warungtemen continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at formdeskz extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at datanode continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to viacenter73 continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through pearlnet I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at blog33quickly added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at sydneybray only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after velvetcovegoods I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at jessicavaughn reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at blog66foreign similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at macromart maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at wxahq continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at sandracraig kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at quasarqube maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at patriciareed reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at bbqhot continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at petparadisetrail suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
For a first Copter I would not touch PID until the setup is done. First Time Setup is the page I followed: firmware, Mission Planner, compass and radio. After that the first flight notes make sense.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at eclatpearl extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after astroarmor I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at metrodash extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at visionaryvista confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at dataolive also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at featureds pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at premiumflashhub reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to choicezone I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at blog33natural earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at sunpetalmarket kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at villatravel confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at worksync reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at blog44environments continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at echostack added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at datameadow maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at xvmade continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at shiftspot continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at sparkengine produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at prosperit confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at shiftspot did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at devalpha continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at website66and reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at blog33be confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at argonarmor extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at blog33republican added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at blog44happy extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at appthrive continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at ideaink did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at softnode extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.
Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at frostpetalemporium added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at blog33operation reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
