method and apparatus for a metal detection system

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of metal detectors, which may find military, industrial and civilian application. In one form, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for a metal detection system in which a first component is synchronised with a second component. The invention is adapted for use in diminishing interference between two or more metal detectors operating in close proximity. In one preferred form the invention is adapted for use in a ground loop metal detection system that allows for the detection of metal or metallic objects at greater depths than currently available with standard pulse induction or induction type metal detecting equipment.
