A method and device for nondestructive and noncontact detection of faults in a test piece, or electrically conductive particles in a liquid flow, moving passed the device, using eddy currents. The test piece or flow is exposed to periodic alternating electromagnetic fields. A periodic electrical signal is detected. The receiver coil signal is digitized with an A/D converter stage. A useful signal is produced from the digitized receiver coil signal with a signal processing unit, and the useful signal is evaluated with an evaluation unit for detecting a fault in the test piece or electrically conductive particles. When overdriving of the A/D converter stage by the receiver coil signal is ascertained by monitoring the curve shape of the digitized receiver coil signal, a part of the receiver coil signal truncated by the A/D converter stage is reconstructed using a mathematical approximation in the digitized receiver coil signal.
