Hello,
I've been researching coils with the idea of making my own. I have measured the electronic parms that will mater to the detector. (inductance, resistance, and capacitance). Most have faraday shields of various types and the ones that are sensitive to small items have a tickler. Most of the US patents have been built at some point. Some of the European patents have not. I do notice everyone is pushing the DD coils. They are easier to manufacture and they do work well. There are still lots of other possibilities.
