Search Head
AssemblyThe flat sealed coil housing swept a few centimeters above the ground; its transmit coil pulses a magnetic field and its receive winding listens for eddy-current decay from buried metal. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.

6 top-level parts · 6 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Transmit Coil | 1× | Multi-turn copper winding, typically 20-30 cm across, driven with current pulses of several amperes to launch the interrogating magnetic field. |
| 2 | Receive Coil | 1× | Sense winding arranged for null coupling to the transmitter so that only target eddy-current fields induce a signal. |
| 3 | Head Shell | 1× | Glass-filled polymer clamshell, fully potted and waterproof to 1-3 m so the head can sweep through puddles and shallow water. |
| 4 | Coil Former | 1× | Rigid bobbin that fixes coil geometry; any flexing of the windings would mimic a target signal. |
| 5 | Head Cable | 1× | Shielded cable spiraling up the shaft, carrying drive pulses down and microvolt receive signals back. |
| 6 | O-Ring Set | 1× | Set of elastomer rings seated in grooves to seal static or slow-moving joints against fluid and gas, sized to ISO 3601. |
