Abstract of the Disclosure A portable transmit/receive induction balance type metal detector having an automatic ground exclusion balance (GEB) feature to facilitate the screening out of the effects of mineralized ground. The circuitry pro- vides a static GEB in a single try and then, if selected by the user, continual automatic GEB on a dynamic basis as the system is used. The circuit includes a pair of quadrature phase detectors, one of whose outputs is approximately in phase with the ground component of the loop return signal. That output is modified, during an air balance of the detector, to remove the residual off- sets in the circuit. This modified output in turn is summed with the other phase detector output to produce a phase detection signal that can be adjusted by automatic means to be precisely in quadrature with the ground com- ponent of the loop return signal. A controller is pro- vided, with selectable user inputs, to initiate the static and dynamic GEB operations. An error amplifier in conjunction with two sample/hold elements and a variable duty cycle chopper operate in a feedback loop to appropriately adjust the phase detection signal. Audible beep indications are generated to signal the user when the steps in the automatic GEB are completed.
