I will have a sign up sheet at the May meeting for you to sign up for 2-hour time slots. (You are welcome to work as long as you wish.) It would be great if you can help provide some of the following items to keep the club from having to purchase them, which will help keep the expense down and increase the profits for the club. Ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, relish, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, and of course DESSERTS!!! There will be a sign up sheet for these items at the club meeting. If you are not there, and want to bring something, call or me so that we don't have too many of one item and not enough of something else. I also need to know by May 23rd if you will be providing any of them. Remember, this is a fund-raiser for YOUR club, and to make it successful YOU need to help make it work!!! Thank you in advance for your help!!! Cody Reese & Rachel Hayworth Phone: Cody Rachel creesejr@hotmail.com or jrshayworth@att.net

How Metal Detectors Work Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own. The detector s search coil receives the retransmitted field and alerts the user by producing a target response. Minelab metal detectors are capable of discriminating between different target types and can be set to ignore unwanted targets. 1. Battery The battery provides power to the detector. 2. Control Box The control box contains the detector s electronics. This is where the transmit signal is generated and the receive signal is processed and converted into a target response. 3. Search Coil The detector s search coil transmits the electromagnetic field into the ground and receives the return electromagnetic field from a target. 4. Transmit Electromagnetic Field (visual representation only - blue) The transmit electromagnetic field energises targets to enable them to be detected. 5. Target A target is any metal object that can be detected by a metal detector. In this example, the detected target is treasure, which is a good (accepted) target. 6. Unwanted Target Unwanted targets are generally ferrous (attracted to a magnet), such as nails, but can also be non-ferrous, such as bottle tops. If the metal detector is set to reject unwanted targets then a target response will not be produced for those targets. 7. Receive Electromagnetic Field (visual representation only - yellow) The receive electromagnetic field is generated from energized targets and is received by the search coil. Target Response (visual representation only - green) When a good (accepted) target is detected the metal detector will produce an audible response, such as a beep or change in tone. Many Minelab detectors also provide a visual display of target information.
