I found this metal detector’s schematics on the
PRACTICAL WIRELESS November 1973 issue magazine.
Called “Ferret” phase locked loop I.C metal detector
and operates at a frequency of 120khz.
Perhaps someone could be interested.
it could be good for small gold.

Oddly enough, that was also in Radio Electronics Magazine and a friend of mine built one. The phase lock loop performed too well and detection was a sharp "bip" instead of a wide area. Great for pinpointing but if you were off center by any amount, the detector remained silent. Back then, the letters to the editor discussed this issue for months. Do you know of Practical Wireless had similar discussions?

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

You have me laughing here. Not at you, with you. We moved back to the US from Australia 5 years ago and half of our boxes remain unopened.
