BrianG: I have no need for a detector. I can see the spikes on the ground. All I need to do is construct some sort of apparatus to collect them.
USA and Australia almost speak the same language, I'm surprised you didn't think I meant a pickup truck.
I thought an electromagnet setup would be...
By "microwave transformer" I mean the transformer out of a household microwave oven.
A metal detector won't pick anything up from the ground as I need this device to do.
Hi Guys, Sorry I'm a noob and know next to nothing about electromagnet theory and construction. [sadeyes]
I am tasked with constructing a device that can be towed along a dirt road to pick up railway dog spikes (approx 115mm X 15mm X 15mm steel weighing up to 150 grams)
I have a plan in mind...
