I've re-entered the world of metal detecting which has led to other "treasure hunting" activities. Many of the things I do are for fun but most are done because I want to teach my grand-daughters to love outdoor adventures rather than burning brain cells in front of a video screen. They love going metal detecting with Papa (me) and enjoy going gold panning and creeking for cool rocks. To that end, here is my problem/situation ...
I have an old Fenix PD30 flashlight that I rarely use and want to see about converting it to use a UV source for checking rocks and minerals for fluorescence (and for finding "spooky" insects at night). I'm looking for advice about my project.
Is the project feasible and, if so, what would be a good LED to use for the replacement?
Thanks for any advice offered.
