3. ABSTRACT
Nowadays, there are a lot of criminal incidents such as terrorist attacks in hotels & malls. This device helps in detecting metallic objects residing in body. The device is called metal detector. This project is developed to detect lost metals like iron, nails, keys and coins .The first step is to design the control circuit to detect different electrical pulse wave which has a different frequency. It is based on electromagnetic field produced by coil entwined at metal substance.

4. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
To study how to develop a system of metal detector
To design a device which can use to detect any changing frequency & pulses and output comes as alarm by speaker
To detect metal substance by using a simple circuit
To know and familiarize the electronic components in terms of function, operation and the characteristic.

5. WHAT IS METAL DETECTOR ?
A metal detector is simple electronic circuit used to detect & locate metallic objects above and below the surfaces

6. HISTORY
The German physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove invented the induction balance system, which was incorporated into metal detectors a hundred years later.
The modern development of the metal detector began in the 1930s, Gerhard Fisher design a machine which would detect metal using a search coil resonating at a radio frequency, he was granted the first patent for a metal detector.
The first industrial metal detectors were developed in the 1960s and were used extensively for mining and other industrial applications.

7. INTRODUCTION METAL DETECTOR STYLES
Metal detectors come in several physical styles "beachcomber," hand-held, and mounted styles can all be effective for their intended use.
Hand-held detectors are smaller and less obtrusive than beachcomber detectors. They are also usually "powerful and sensitive enough to detect all concealed metal weapons, including the smallest knives and guns".

8. BASIC CIRCUIT OF METAL DETECTOR

9. COMPONENTS USED
Transistors -BC547 Diodes -IN4148 Resistors Capacitors LED-5mm red Inductor coil Buzzer -27mm C.Tone Battery -9v

10. METAL DETECTOR MODULES
Metal detector comprises of three modules
Sensing
coil
Buzzer sound
Indicating circuit
Regulator circuit
Oscillating circuit
Metallic
object

11. CIRCUIT WORKING HEART OF THE CIRCUIT- COLPITTS OSCILLATOR
Positive feedback
Voltage divider
 Frequency is determined by the inductor and the two capacitors
One of the key features of this type of oscillator is its simplicity and robustness.

12. MODULES IN BASIC CIRCUIT
Metal detector comprises of three modules a. Oscillating circuit b. Regulator circuit c. Indicating circuit

13. CIRCUIT WORKING (contd..)
a. Oscillating circuit consists of
1.a first transistor;
2.a second transistor;
3.adjustable resistor coupled to the emitter of the first transistor; and
4.inductor coupled to the base of the second transistor to control the conductive state.

Archaeological exploration 
Geological research 

19. ADVANTAGES
In Schools: The metal detectors in schools are used to reduce any possible risk of violence by right and prompt signals such as beeps and alarms when the detectors find person carrying destructive weapons like knives, guns, bomb etc.
IN INDUSTRIES: Industrial metal detectors are used in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, textile, garment, plastics, chemicals, lumber, and packaging industries.

20. DISADVANTAGES
False Reading
Constitutional Rights
Medical Interference

21. FUTURE SCOPE
MODIFICATIONS IN METAL DETECTOR HELPS TO DISTINGUISH DIFFERENT METALS LIKE FERROUS AND NON FERROUS METALS (GOLD,SILVER ETC..,) AND ALSO HOW MUCH DISTANCE IS THAT METAL FROM COIL

22. CONCLUSION
Generally, this project become as a role that can give a contribution for all people with one system which is effective and accomplished to handle stolen, robbery and used for finding something that were lost. This is because, this project was build using simple electronic circuit and not too big also having a high performance to protect people asset from stolen and helps to find lost objects.
