My $4.50 BFO Detector: First find!

[MinnesotaStateUniversity]

Sorry about the noise!

Yes, that's actually a rake lol. I couldn't resist, so I went out for an hour & found a few scraps (all within 2-5" ground level). I also found a spoon, but forgot it!

(dedicating my other thread for tech info)

Programming my next device soon > Arduino PI detector (trying to get down to 1'+)

Update:

Finally got it on a perfboard. I'll PCB it soon! Should be a little larger than a tic tac box. I had to shim the ends down quite a bit so the board would fit inside my enclosure, therefore the mounting tabs are gone. The hot glue should keep all my components in place

Totally cool! I see that your dog is cheerfully "helping" you with your project, lol. Our big fuzzy cat always shows up to assist us with any project, from making art to cleaning out a closet. Looking forward to your next finds -- go for it! Andi

Lol, you ever watch any of the cat videos on Youtube?



That was our 3rd take. He kept changing the frequency of the loop.

Thanks!
