NE 1 ever try to build this "Arc-Geo Mini Kit" detector?
Just wonder if anyone here has built this with success?

****Description***
The "AGM" Arc-Geo Mini is an imaging system with included software for metal detectors! The AGM has some of the same features as the Arc-Geo logger plus a few more. The main difference between the two loggers is the AGM logs 1 "one" grid and does not have a LCD display, compared to the Arc-Geo Logger which can log 16 grids all different sizes. But, the AGM has a feature that the Arc-Geo does not have. Because there is no LCD, you have to monitor where you are on the grid with the logger beeps and LED indications. You can stop after any completed "Y" row and save the data, come back and start where you left off! So if it starts raining you can stop the log and continue later. You can build the grid as large as the memory will allow. Once you log the first "Y" row, you can use the auto mode to log the grid. You build the grid as you walk. With each new row the grid grows
****KIT in question***
Arc-Geo Mini KIT includes pc-board, programmed controller, all IC's, box, USB board, USB IC, USB jack, faceplate and parts placement instructions. All other parts can be purchased from digi-key or mouser or your local electronic store.
Instructions with pictures and diagrams come with the kit for easy assembly. Parts can be ordered from digi-key and mouser.
SMD parts are not easy to solder so you should be at a level to solder SMD.
Now the mini is availble in kit form with the main parts supplied.
If you put you own equipment together you will have a great time with the mini kit.
The controller has the latest firmware installed.
You will need resistors, caps and some switches and other parts. But for the price you can put a mini together for about 275.00!
