    Certain metals detectable by ground scan?

    I'd like to bump this thread, for my last question in my last post.

    Certain metals detectable by ground scan?

    Don't see any quote button so Ed wrote "Any electrically conductive material will generate Eddy Currents when moved in a magnetic field. The result of these eddy currents is that they have a magnetic field associated with them (like all current flow does)." Gold is quite conductive. And...

    Certain metals detectable by ground scan?

    Whoops, accidentally gave the wrong guy a "Great post!". That was meant for Edstainless. Regardless, thanks ed for the helpful reply. Not so much to the other two. Must not actually be engineers. Anyway Ed, it sounds like you're on the same line of thought I'm headed down. I wonder if the...

    Hi all. I don't get by here much but I wanted to ask a question that I've been curious about, since my father inlaw has decided to move to Alaska to mine for gold. I'm no metallurgist, I am but a lowly engineering student that is still seeking my associates degree. But it does seem to me, with...

    Automatic window relay setup

    Hi all, new here. I'm a petroleum engineer and as such I'm not nearly as well versed in electrical as you guys are. I'm an auto enthusiast, and as such fixing up my old cars is a passion of mine. What I'm looking to do, as add automatic windows to my 1987 Chevy Silverado Pickup. It came with...
