Hey all,
 Homemade pinpointer is working well, Maybe too well!! Am going to trim down the antenna as it picks up too much , I figure to cut the antenna to 1/4 the size and try it again. Well I 've never posted pics before, am going to give it a whirl. I am posting 2 pics one of the pointer and the other of what I found today. See if you can pick out what doesn't belong on a kids playground. I've been kinda disturbed ever since I found it.
Talk more later

I like the pinpointer........not bad for a homemade project. The bullet doesn't belong on the childrens
play ground.. It's good that you found it....John in Va..........

It appears to be a modified stud/nail finder to me. He most likely used the same internal circuitry and wound his own ferrite core. It was the route I was planning to go until I found that cheap detector at harbor freight.

Modify housing to hold new core in external position. IE: big long rod sticking out one end. And then simply wire it up the same way as it was before.

I kinda wish I went that route now. Since the LED's will give a reading on how close your getting. Ah well, I still have an old one laying around here somewhere. I might try it after I get done building my PI circuit.

I really need to organize the mad-lab  Amen

Hint: When performing a tear-down; a digital camera is handy. It helps to prevent rapid-unexpected-disassembly.  Idiot
