When the search coil is within 75cm of a metal object, the VCO increases its frequency for a nonferrous
metal and decreases it for ferrous objects. Loop output on pin 7 of the 565 is compared with the pin 6
reference voltage, the long-tailed pair Tr1,2 amplifying the difference.
My search coil is 50 turns on 50mm diameter to give an inductance of 0.5mH. The VCO frequency is around
1kHz.
