Good day everyone,
This is my first post in this forum, and I really want help from anyone. I have a project to do in my university to implement a mobile robot that detect mines in a mine-field. It is not a real mine-field nor real mines; the mines are metal cubes of dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm; and it will be buried under a sandy ground with maximum depth of 10 cm. The field is a rough terrain, so I must put the metal detector on the top of my robot so it will not hit the ground.
What I need is a metal detector; not the whole kit, just the sensor (I think it is called Search Coil). I will mount this sensor on my robot and connect it to my micro-controller. The required specifications are:
- Cost: about $100 or less
- Range of detection: 25 cm to 50 cm (most important)
- Weight: 2 kg maximum
- Size: none specified, I will take the available
I searched over Amazon to purchase one; however I could not find the range of detection in any of them. I need your help in either give me the range of detection for the search coils I found, or suggest me a better and suitable solution for my case.
Thanks in advance, and waiting for your reply...
Regards,
