This is my metal detector, detect metal using Mosfet and opamps and pair of coil.

component

1) IRLZ44N

2)Opamp LM324

3)Resistor 10k, 1k , 6.2k

4) Bc557 pnp transistor

5)Bc546 npn transistor

6)100mh inductor

7)171uF capacitor

8)22pf capacitor

9)buzzer

10) copper coil of 38 turns.

11)50k pot

Step 1: ZVS Circuit

ZVS circuit .Basically it generates sine wave one the both side of the coil. When the metal comes around the coil the frequency of zvs gets effected . Here you can see three sine waves generated by the Zvs oscillator. We will take the right sided sine wave and will multiply with a Schmitt trigger square wave

Step 2: Schmitt Trigger

Schmitt trigger made by op amp is creating square wave . At the place of 50k resistor we will use a 50k potentiometer to adjust the tuning . We will multiply the square wave with the sine wave of the zvs

Step 3: Multiplying Sine Wave With Square Wave

After multiplying the waves we will cut the useless frequencies by the low pass filter . In that case we will cut down high

frequency which is 1/2 Sine (2 PI t(50.5Khz)) and then we can hear audible sound .

Step 4: Resulting Signal

after filtering you can see the resulting signal is just few HZ .

Step 5: Clean the Signal

with the help of the schmitt comperator the signal gets inverted and cleaned up.

Step 6: High Pass RC Filter

With the High Pass RC filter the inverted signal gets chopped of .So we can hard a sudden click . because one sudden click has multiple harmonics .

Step 7: The Last Inverter

for a sudden click we will use a comparator . the pulse width will remain same regarding the change of the input frequencies.

Step 8: Buzzer

Fed the signal in to the buzzer and enjoy your circuit
