A circuit of this type has been described, for instance, in the German Democratic Re~ public Pat. No. 56 863. ‘One of the drawbacks of the above mentioned here- tofore known circuit or control arrangement consists in that the checking of the sensitivity of the metal detect device is not effected continually but at major ti intervals, for instance, at intervals of one hour. Asa re~ sult thereof, there exists the possibility that if the drop in the sensitivity of the metal detecting device is not recognized in time, metal objects in the material or ‘goods moved, for instance, continuously on a conveyor belt will remain undetected. The various drawbacks i herent thereto are obvious and therefore do not have to be enumerated. Itis, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement which for all practical pur- poses will carry out the checking of the sensitivity of the metal detecting device in a continuous way so that any decrease in the sensitivity of the detecting device will immediately be recognized. ‘This object and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly from the following speeifieation in connection with the accompanying
