This option for the production of a special rod for metal detectorwill be just a godsend for those craftsmen who are already striving to search for treasures and treasures hidden from human eyes and for this they have already assembled their first and such necessary device. Reviewed homemade It has, first of all, three main advantages:
the first - a fairly small cost;
second - you need very little time to bring it to life;
the third - the bar will have a pretty presentable appearance.
Of course, a small minus is still there too - due to insufficient ergonomics, it is slightly inferior to branded bars.
The following things will be necessary for the work on the manufacture of such a homemade product:
1. Crutch with armrest (further photographs will indicate which one).
2. A piece of plastic pipe (not more than a meter, and the rest will be cut off).
3. Fixing screw for the toilet lid.
4. A metal corner or plate and 4 selected bolts for them.
And so this crutch will be necessary for our bar. Armed with the Internet it can easily be ordered in any specialized medical online store.
First, you need to separate the lower support knee from the crutch. In the future, it will be successfully replaced by a plastic pipe reinforced with fiberglass and a diameter of 20 millimeters.
In the process of work, unfortunately, it turned out that the diameter of the pipe does not quite fit - somewhat larger than we need. Excess was subsequently grinded using a grinder and an emery wheel. These were solved the problem of additional preparation of the pipe for painting - it will already be matted.
The next stage of work will be the extraction of the much needed fixative from the lower supporting knee of the crutch. Next, you need to install it in a polypropylene pipe. The photos below will show all the stages of work at this stage.
An intermediate site for the production of a homemade rod for a metal detector is already presented here.
Now that most of the work has already been done, you need to start fastening electronic block to the future bar.To do this, you will need: a corner, which in the process will need to be unbent; a metal plate and plus four bolts to them.
The stage of production of fastening is presented in the photo below.
The detector coil can be attached to the rod using a conventional plastic toilet bowl mounting screw. It is sold in any household market.
Here's what it should be about to happen (the photo shows the Verator metal detector)

To create greater attractiveness, an already prepared bar may be painted. But usually the paint is quite short-lived and soon begins to peel off. Therefore, for complete aesthetics, before painting, it is necessary to prepare it in advance using a special base such as gravitex.
Already the final weight of the product without battery and device was 500 grams.
