[OT] DIY Metal Detector?

Hi All,



Since it=E2=80=99s quiet I thought I=E2=80=99d post this OT=E2=80=A6



I=E2=80=99m looking for a metal detector kit to build with my early-teen
la=
d.
Partly just for the fun of building it, but also to take to the beach etc.

I found lots of circuits by googling and this one looked good:
http://www.easytreasure.co.uk/bfo.htm.
Although there is a circuit diagram
there=E2=80=99s not a direct plan for a veroboard version.

I=E2=80=99m ok to scrounge bits to make the complete thing, but is there a
=E2=80=9Cready-made=E2=80=9D kit with it all in one box that=E2=80=99s
just=
as good?

Or is there a better circuit / guide on the internet / somewhere?



It=E2=80=99s supposed to be a fun Easter project and while budget
isn=E2=80=
=99t **so**
important, =C2=A350 is probably too much.



Any thoughts?



Thanks,

Tim
