Constant Current Metal Detector Patent, but what does it all mean?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone managed to get a copy of the QED plans. Sounds like an interesting project to muck around with. Saw a Utube video of it . looks interesting. Seems to work OK.

Minelab got a copy. :lol: The short answer is - this dog won't bark.

I'll bet someone built one somewhere. From a technical point of view it would be interesting to know just how good it is. Certainly sounds quite different from the video I saw.

yes - it was built by the developer, that was where the 'issues' with ML started -and ended in court. best left alone.

That's OK. The machine I'd really like to get my hands on is the one that speaks to you and says...I'm a nugget....Dig me up! Anyone know if someone has designed one of those yet???? Now there's an idea for a new patent???.. :lol:

Minelab don't innervate, they re-hash... no reason to spend millions on research and development when you can upgrade a previous unit.. update the name, and tack on $1500-2000 every 3-5 years..

Could be worse, could be like the Iphone

Ugh, saw pics of the sheep lining up outside the apple store in the US... Would it really kill these dong knockers to wait a week?

Or better yet, buy something half the price, that was actually designed and functions as it it were made in 2014, not 2010..
