When I was reading through the archives, I thought that it was recommended to have the shielding for the coil connected to the shielding of the cable and then have that connected to the ground of the electronics. But it also looks like cable (e.g. RG-5:geek: with just one conductor and a shield are used to connect. Do people typically use two of these co-axial cables, a "twin-axial" type of cable, or ground the one side of the coil to the shielding of the cable? This would be for a single loop coil. Thanks for all of the information in the previous posts and any replies.
 
I would try all above. then use what works bets with your detector.
 
Hi Mike,
When making a mono coil I do the following. One end of the coil, plus the connection to the coil shield, is taken to the braid of the coax. At the control box end, the braid of the coax is connected to the electronics ground. This is usually a star connection at the ground of the main reservoir capacitor for the transmitter, and also the takeoff point for the receiver ground track.
Eric.
