Introduction
Molecular Frequency Discriminator (MFD) has become a popular term to describe electronically-enhanced
dowsing rods. There are two components to the typical MFD: a signal transmitter, and "receiver" L-rods.
Construction of the L-rods is covered in the Building LRLs report and will not be repeated here. We will
focus on the signal generator.
The prevailing theory behind MFDs is that the signal generator transmits at a frequency that matches the
"molecular resonant frequency" of a desired target. The most common frequencies used are 5KHz for gold
and 8.7KHz for silver; other elements have different frequencies but we will focus only on gold and silver.
Therefore we need a signal generator that can switch between two different frequencies.
There are many ways of generating signals, with tradeoffs in circuit complexity, accuracy, stability, and
flexibility. Accuracy refers to the ability to tune to an exact frequency; stability describes how well the
generator can maintain a certain frequency over time and with temperature variations; and flexibity means
how easy it is to change the frequency or amplitude.
The simplest is probably a ring oscillator, the most complicated might be a crystal-controlled Direct Digital
Synthesis (DDS) chip. The ring oscillator, while incredibly simple, has poor accuracy, poor stability, and
moderate flexibility. DDS offers the precision and stability of a crystal oscillator while adding the flexibility of
millihertz tuning. In between are a wide variety of methods, including a couple of fairly simple yet flexible
function generator chips.
The only drawback to using an 8038 is that it requires more than 9v to operate, therefore it cannot be run
from a single 9v battery. An 8-pack of AA's will produce 12v which is barely sufficient; 2 series 9v batteries is
the best solution. You should put the circuit board in an appropriate enclosure: my solution is shown in
Figure 3, with the batteries inside the case. The enclosure has a power switch, a frequency select switch, a
battery test switch and LED, amplitude knob, and two banana jacks for signal outputs.

the identified location then you should bring in excavation equipment. If no obvious target is found when you
reach 200 feet, then the target was most likely subatomic gold particles - you cannot see it and most
chemical analyses will not detect it either, but the MFD will.

I believe he is just holding his own hand and trying to lead us all down his golden path.
It's an audio amplifier and nothing to do with l rods unless you connect the output to a speaker and give the
ground a sonic blast.
Don't Laugh! This system is actually used for offshore geophysical detection. But the blasts are much louder.

It turns out this TDA7294 amplifier is even more interesting than I thought.
Aside from being a very low distortion high power amplifier, it runs on a dual power supply that the signal
generator IC can share with it.
This means you can use the two 12v batteries like Michael has in his Bulgarian LRL to run both the
TDA7294 power amp and the signal generator.
The output from this amp will be higher because of it's 24 volt supply instead of the 12v that the signal
generator is using above.
But this is not a problem, the 8038 signal generator is good for up to 30 volts each side of the supply.
So we can plug it into the same supply and send the signal to the TDA7294 all on the same board if we
want.
This seems quite convenient for MFD builders.
This amplifier is intended to drive typical speakers from 4-8 ohms. Since the ground usually has much higher
impedance, We cannot expect to put the full 100 watts of power into the ground.
But since it can handle up to 100 watts, it seems a good candidate for a step-up transformer to increase the
voltage at the probes to get more power into the ground.
Of course, power transistors could do this too. The main difference is this IC is able to maintain a very clean
signal without distorting it at power levels, and it is on a single IC.
When we start sending more power out, we can expect the amplifier to heat up, so we need a heat sink that
will carry the heat away.
The image below shows a typical heat sink used on an audio amplifier.
But this could be made smaller, especially if you include a fan to circulate air through the fins, similar to how
computer fans work.
Because this IC matches up so well to the 8038 signal generator, I show some concepts of how you could
hook it up below.
This is not a circuit I tested, but I think it may work if I didn't get any mistakes in the connections.
In the circuit you can see I changed the two capacitors that set the frequency for the 8038 to a bank of 6
capacitors with a rotary switch to select which frequency you want.
You can fill in any capacitor values for your favorite frequencies.
There is also an option to make adjustments to the frequency at pin 4 on the 8038, or you can leave it in the
original design.
You can also see where the transformer goes.
You can choose the transformer type depending on the soil conditions.
I think you will have a wide range of soil impedance depending on ground mineralization and how wet the
soil is.
For this reason, I doubt any one transformer would be suitable for all soil.
But at least you have some control at the power knob.
Another option would be an adjustable auto-transformer that you can change to suit the soil.
But don't forget the batteries.
When you put out more power, you need bigger batteries.
Keep in mind that Michael's Bulgarian MFD locator uses this same amplifier, but he was able to detect
nothing ever, even though he could measure the signal in the ground up to 2 meters distance.
And that is exactly what I think you will detect with this MFD detector... Nothing.
If you think I am wrong and this circuit really can locate treasure, prove me wrong.

Most MFD works if the user knows how to keep the rods. Do not you wait from first time to keep
the Lrods and to go directly to the buried objects

Hi Geo,
The technique you specify for using MFD was already posted above
here: http://www.longrangelocators.com/for...1&postcount=10
This thread is where ma330 asked for an mfd project and a schematic that works.
Do you have a project and schematic to post here that can help him?

Hi J_P.
It is not so simple!!!. Don't think that if you will keep 2 Lrods at your hand then you will find any
buried. It needs many experiment.
As for schematic... i attached one LRL with generator and it works.
Regards

Thanks Geo
Excellent ciruit diagram of your LRL. Is this your own design? Which program did you use to draw the
diagram?

hi jp
You can design for my post number 38 with IC xr2206 Instead of 8038?
with respect

Hi Geo
I still do not understands from your schematic posted above as you say R/C if for feedback from pin2?
Is this voltage or magnetic type?
This is a very different typ
