Different tones will identify various precious metals buried up to 6 inches, and LED lights allow for low light or nighttime searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA metal detector contains a coil of wire (wrapped around the circular head at the end of the handle) known as the \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003etransmitter coil\u003c\/span\u003e. When electricity flows through the coil, a magnetic field is created all around it. As you sweep the detector over the ground, you make the magnetic field move around too. If you move the detector over a metal object, the moving magnetic field affects the atoms inside the metal. In fact, it changes the way the electrons (tiny particles \"orbiting\" around those atoms) move. Now if we have a changing magnetic field in the metal, the ghost of James Clerk Maxwell tells us we must also have an electric current moving in there too. In other words, the metal detector creates (or \"induces\") some electrical activity in the metal. But then Maxwell tells us something else interesting too: if we have electricity moving in a piece of metal, it must create some magnetism as well. So, when you move a metal detector over a piece of metal, the magnetic field coming from the detector causes another magnetic field to appear around the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's this second magnetic field, around the metal, that the detector picks up. The metal detector has a second coil of wire in its head (known as the \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003ereceiver coil\u003c\/span\u003e) that's connected to a circuit containing a loudspeaker. As you move the detector about over the piece of metal, the magnetic field produced by the metal cuts through the coil. Now if you move a piece of metal through a magnetic field, you make electricity flow through it (remember, that's how a generator works). So, as you move the detector over the metal, electricity flows through the receiver coil, making the loudspeaker click or beep. Hey presto, the metal detector is triggered and you've found something! The closer you move the transmitter coil to the piece of metal, the stronger the magnetic field the transmitter coil creates in it, the stronger the magnetic field the metal creates in the receiver coil, the more current that flows in the loudspeaker, and the louder the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 id=\"extras\"\u003eExtras\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eCA Residents: \u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 WARNING(S)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53211462664555,"sku":"88-20001-B2","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/3608\/4587\/files\/EX_88-20001_MetalDetector_2.jpg?v=1778515281"},{"product_id":"rack-and-pinion-focuser-1-5-inch-extension-tube","title":"Rack and Pinion Focuser 1.5-inch Extension Tube","description":"\u003cp\u003e Rack and Pinion Focuser Extension Tube adds 1.5 inches to the 2-inch Rack and Pinion focusers on our ED APO telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53211462599019,"sku":"ESRPEXT2","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/3608\/4587\/files\/ESRPEXT2_Bottom.jpg?v=1778515281"},{"product_id":"82-series-14mm-waterproof-eyepiece","title":"82° Series 14mm Waterproof Eyepiece","description":"\u003cp id=\"description\"\u003eThe 14mm 82° Series Waterproof Argon-Purged Eyepiece is a popular focal length in the upper-medium power magnification class providing both super-wide apparent field and generous eye relief.

With the 9mm 120°, however, you see even more universal real estate, but you also see the main attraction, whether it is a nebulae, a galaxy, or a star cluster, close up and personal.

Another great benefit of hyper-wide eyepieces is the ease with which you can gaze, not directly at an object, but slightly to either side.

The Galileoscope Refractor Telescope STEM Kit offers a powerful combination of educational value and observational capability in a compact, accessible format. Originally created as a signature project for the 2009 International Year of Astronomy, this 50mm refractor telescope kit has become a globally respected tool for introducing students and enthusiasts to astronomy and optical science. The kit includes all parts and instructions needed to build a functional telescope, with no tools or adhesives required. In just minutes, users can assemble a high-quality instrument capable of revealing craters on the Moon, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, and star clusters. With a 25x eyepiece and a modular accessory that can be configured as either a 2x Barlow lens (for 50x magnification) or a 17x Galilean eyepiece (for upright views with a narrower field), this telescope gives users the chance to recreate the views of Galileo himself and understand the optics behind them. In addition to its optical performance, the Galileoscope is a powerful STEM teaching tool. It offers students the opportunity to learn how lenses work, how magnification changes the field of view, and how scientific observation starts with hands-on curiosity. Whether used in classrooms, science fairs, or backyard stargazing sessions, the Galileoscope is a proven way to engage learners and encourage a lifelong interest in space and science.

The bracket itself dovetails into the finder base (sold separately), and locks down with thumbscrews. It is a simple thing to remove or install your finder and bracket on your telescope in this manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo install your finder into the bracket, simply back the thumbscrews out so that you’ve opened up the full inside diameter of the rings. Slide the finder into place, and adjust the screws inward until your finderscope is securely held in position. You should have very rough alignment at this point, which means when you look through the finder and center an object, and then look through a low power eyepiece inserted in your telescope diagonal or focuser, that object will most likely be in the field of view, but not at or near the center (unless you are very lucky!). Doing that first fine alignment…the task of matching what’s in your finder to what’s in your eyepiece…can be tedious and frustrating sometimes, but once you complete the job, it should never be required again. Sure, you will have to tweak the adjustment every time you re-install the finder\/bracket combo onto your telescope, but it should be fairly quick and simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a helpful hint when it comes time to do that first alignment. Set your telescope up in the daytime, and make sure you bring out a variety of eyepieces with you. Find an easy target that is relatively far away, like a streetlight or the top of a telephone pole. Starting with the lowest power eyepiece, adjust your finder bracket until you have “matching” views. The more accurate you are, the easier it will be when you trade out your low-power eyepiece for something a little stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow do just that; put in a medium-powered eyepiece and do the same thing, being as accurate as you can. Finally, it’s time for the high-powered eyepiece. Once you have finished this alignment process, you can either wait for the sun to go down to finish tweaking your finder, or you can put your telescope away and wait until the next time. Either way, once it is dark, find something bright, like the Moon or Venus or Jupiter, and center it in your finder. Now install the medium-powered eyepiece and check your view. If the object is not centered, make your adjustments, then insert the high-powered eyepiece and check again. Once you have made the necessary tweaks, you are good to go. From now on, unless you remove the finder from the bracket or something else happens to severely change alignment, you should only have to make small tweaks before every observing session. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble to go through for such a “small” thing, but trust me, I have seen more beginners make the mistake of trying to do finder alignments in the dark on small, dim objects, and it is not a pretty sight! All they want to do is observe, and they feel like they are wasting precious time doing silly things. A well-aligned finder makes astronomy much easier, give yourself a break and do the hard part during the day, and you won’t be sorry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eFNDRRGSTALL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e7oz; 198.4g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eLength\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e73mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e61mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e115mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53211476164971,"sku":"FNDRRGSTALL","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/3608\/4587\/files\/finderscope_50mm.jpg?v=1778515351"},{"product_id":"1-25-5x-focal-extender","title":"1.25\" 5X Focal Extender","description":"\u003cp\u003eA good Focal Extender adds some real versatility to your telescope accessory line-up.

Secondly, most of the time, lower magnification eyepieces have better eye relief than higher power models. When using a focal extender to increase your magnification, you get to enjoy the generous eye relief of the lower power eyepiece, and that’s quite a bonus, especially for eyeglass wearers or for those with fast telescopes who can really push high magnification eyepieces.

When you relax your eyes and take in the scene presented before you, it is much easier to observe for longer periods of time, and details begin to materialize that were not revealed at first glance. The broad field of view promotes the use of averted vision, which involves looking slightly to the side of a target object rather than directly at it. This is especially helpful when observing faint objects, because using averted vision puts the image on a part of your eye that is more sensitive to light, allowing you to see fainter images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Waterproof Eyepieces are gas-purged and O-ring sealed to create a waterproof environment that is impervious to internal fogging and prevents contaminants from entering the ocular housing.
