CONGRATULATIONS
Your treasure finder is now complete! Have a final look over your work,
paying particular attention to the orientation of diodes, transistors and IC's.
INITIAL TESTING OF THE METAL DETECTOR
This kit was purposefully designed to "plug and play" with minimal testing
upon completion. Install a fresh nine volt battery and depress the power
switch. The power on led should illuminate. Turn the volume control to about
half, and adjust the tone control. Center the tone control knob on the front
panel and adjust L2 by turning the slug down into the form. As you turn the
slug the tone will start out high and get lower as you continue turning. Stop
turning the slug when the tone is too low in frequency to hear. Move the
search coil near a metal object, and the pitch of the tone should change.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Now that you have made some initial checks, it's time to finish the
mechanical assembly. Install the foam grip handle and the cover on the
circuit board. You may wish to glue the 45 degree PVC elbow into place, but
we recommend that you do not glue at the union or endcap (for future
accessibility to the coil).
