http://www.adventureswithjim.com Yup still working on this dumb thing. In this episode, learn how to tune a metal detector coil and match it to your stock coil. I'm still looking for the plugs to run it into a real detector! That's gonna come in Part III...the field test! Oh yeah, you know I GOTTA plug it in for real after all this work. Part III fun coming SOON!

  • Jim you trying to get endorsed by Teknetics to come out with your own custom coils?

  • @Ivestor1 it's unlikely the company will endorse and kind of after market coils, I'm just working with what I've got on hand. I'd love a few cheap BH's for all the coil experiments I have in mind...they're easier to work with and cheap to replace when they melt down :-)

  • Hey, Jim....when you goin' to get a job?! Just kidding ol' buddy......

  • hey Nuggit Noggin found an old detector in the woods in one of his videos, maybe you can get him to mail you the plug off it lol :)

  • JIm - I have little to know idea what you said - but I enjoyed every minute. Radio Shack - should give you an after hours key. Cheers mate - great video.

  • CB radio microphone connectors. The 5 connector type (not the 4). 

    Be good n careful to not blow up drive circuit all yee who "try this at home"

  • dude your a nut!! but your smart and know what your talking about. keep it up

  • @roadkillscjim Where is out there. Is it Walterboro? Seems to be near there.

  • Ah,........yeah??? The back of the class will bombard you with math questions.You might need to post a link for a math wizard?Some guys need simple machines that just cut on and go.This gave them a headache! I predict Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement,and put on the ol' usps shirt.This time peddling Roadkill eliminator coils.He looks expensive though,so all your profits will go out the window!

  • Part 2 - eagerly awaited, here at last - now part 3 on Sunday, Jim you are under some pressure here LOL. Part 6 by Christmas? Great stuff mate, can't wait. HH.

  • I've been waiting forever for the Hobbit. I guess I can wait until Sunday for the trilogy finale of another epic adventure with Jim. I got my Mxt, needs a minor repair, but I dug a 1944 George vi cent in my local park before the rain came. It is heavier, but not too bad.
