Do-it-yourself Projects for Metal Detectorist’s

Posted on August 26, 2015November 24, 2020 By Detecting Diva 3 Comments on Do-it-yourself Projects for Metal Detectorist’s

artIf you ever wanted to build your own metal detector, detecting gear and accessories, or create your own unique artwork from relics–whether to save money, just for fun, or because you’re a do it yourself person, below are some links you might find helpful (or amusing).  

Build your own metal detector:

arduino

This is a very odd looking machine.  I personally wouldn’t want my buddies to see me detecting with it, unless maybe it was pink.

detCool concept, but a little small, and what if it rains?
http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-metal-detector/

scandinavian detector

I like this detector.  It has a low profile, Scandinavian, light wood style about it.  It would be right at home as a decoration in my Ikea style living room. http://www.instructables.com/id/Metal-Detector/

homemade

I’m not really sure what you would use this detector for–
maybe finding paper clips?

tablecloth

This looks like a decent design, even though the inventor has no taste in tablecloths.

How to make your own pinpointer:

pin

Seems simple enough.

probe

I like the design, it doesn’t look homemade.

Make your own sandscoop:

Pretty cool do it yourself scoop.
Note:  This is not an Olympus digital camera as the inventors photo suggests.

Make your own headphones:

Pretty detailed instructions.

Make your own metal detecting pouch:

Seems like an easy project, but again, I would like mine to be pink.

Make a metal detector stand?:

I don’t think I would have a need for this item,
but it may be just perfect for some folks.

Making a coil from scratch:

Hey, if it works…

My personal favorite:

detector robot

A Metal Detector Robot, do-it-yourself kit for the detectorist who has everything.

Horse shoe art:

For those of you who artistic, here are some cool horse shoe art designs.  A quick search of “horse shoe art” on google brings up thousands more.  Some of them are simply amazing.  I did look up “oxen shoe art”, and unfortunately there were no fab oxen shoe pieces of art out there.  Looks like I’ll be holding onto my collection for a while.

    I need to find or make something that will recover a target without me bending over. In the meantime I’m working reducing my pull tab collection…..

      OMG that is too funny! I can’t imagine it would be too comfortable to wear though.

    These are some diy’s that I’d love to try. There are a lot of metal wires from a construction site and I’d really love to get rid of those if I actually found them and I think a good metal detector would do the job perfectly.
