I have my college students build a simple metal detecting circuit on breadboards then wind a coil and pass metal objects across its face (remember they are learning circuit theory). They can watch the waveform change on the O-scope. I believe in demonstrating simple circuits that can show real world solutions to interesting problems.
IMO: Now for real metal detecting purchasing a machine from a quality company is what you should do if you want to get into the hobby.
I started detecting in 1968 with a detector kit built in electronics class.
I start with a simple Pulse Induction circuit.
