Wanted : Dead or Alive !! Metal Detector schematics and circuit board photos !
Eugene52:
Hello Everyone !!..... For almost 10 years I have been collecting Metal Detector schematics and or circuit board photos . There are Many old discontinued Metal Detector models that were manufactured in large quantities , that are still in existance !! They might be in someones garage or hidden in a basement or Attic !! Broken or working they are wanted !! I have a list of the ones I would love to have or see again , close-up !! If someone can take a clear digital photo of the circuit board or even post a schematic it would be Awesome !! This is for metal detectors only . I will try to post a picture to the list , if I have one for that model . Anyone can add to the list , the years are passing by , so lets try to recover or save history on some "Classic and forgotten Metal Detectors of the past ".................Regards........Eugene52

Hays Electronics MarkI Mark II TR Metal Detectors
The Hays Mark II detector, is a TR type detector that operates somewhere around 100 Khz in frequency.
Powered by a single 9 volt alkaline transistor battery, the Mark I-II has only one control, an on/off/ tuning control.
Adjustment is as simple as turning the detector on and rotating the control until a slight threshold signal is heard and begin searching. The control unit is made of plastic, and the coil is, 5.5 MI and 8 MII inches.
The Mark-1 Metal Detector was designed and manufactured by Bill Hays of Hays Electronics in 1962, using an 8-inch search loop, the first of that size on the market at that time. The standard size in 1962 was the 11-inch loop.
In 1963 Hays Electronics introduced the first 5.5-inch loop on the the mark-2 Metal Detector. It was very sensitive for small objects and it had a depth range of 30 inches on large objects.
Today about 70% of all mark-1 and mark-2 metal detectors are bought by utility companies. Most utility companies want an all-metal detector and have no need for a discrimination detector.
In sales the Mark-1 and Mark-2 metal detectors have sold over 70,286 machines as of December 23, 2001.

Excellent posting oRo , Nice professional presentation of important Metal Detector History !! This detector was bought by a bunch of "utility companies" across the country !! It was an all-metal mode Metal Detector , "no discrimination" . They used it as a great undergound pipe locator . A few are still for sale at pawn shops and surplus stores all over the country , like this photo I found from a army surplus store back east................Thanks again for posting .................Eugene52

Any chance anyone has a photo or picture of insides of a Sunray Dll meter, I think they have quit building this also. I need the wiring to the connector layout.

Used on an older sovereign. I took the meter apart and later when I went back to it, I somehow lost the wiring diagram I made for it. Thanks for the other stuff.
