COOL COIL & CABLE CO.

Intrigued by the outstanding success of cryogenically treated audio speaker cables, interconnects and power cords. I have been investigating how this technology can benefit metal detectors. Basically, the technology involves deep cycle cryogenic treatment, at temperatures as low as
 
Eric,
Some brands of guitar strings are advertised as being put into a crynogenic deep freeze to improve their tone and extend their life. Since guitar strings are just (approx) 32" long pieces of wire, it makes sense that a cryogenic treated PI coil would also exhibit some measurable effects.
Did you measure the pre-treatment and post-treatment coil parameters such as:
DC Resistance
Inductance
Self-Resonance?
Was the coax wire also given the crynogenic treatment?
I would think that if there are performance changes in the coil after being treated, that there should be measurable parameter changes also.

I have emptied my freezer of all the nonsensical food stuff, and have filled it with cable and spools of magnet wire. I even added my PCBs and rolls of solder for good measure. Hopefully, 28F for a few months will be good as -200F for a few days. Thanks for the tip!

Some take it seriously, if you look at my link as well. Personally, I think it is yet another way to part the gullible from their money, as far as audio and cables go. Still I am ready to be convinced. Any GP3500 owners care to give it a try <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
By the way, Prof. Lilao and Polar foil are anagrams for that fun thing on 1st April; in case you didn't spot it.

Had me fooled but I'm certainly not going to admit to it..........d'oh..... <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
Those Audiophiles and Musicians are even more fanatical than us detectorists when it comes to trying to get every ounce of performance from our equipment that we can <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

justify the costs of our detectors. All you have to do when you want a new detector is show your wife that article and say "see I could be into audio instead of metal detecting...this new detector is much less expensive than a good audio cable" <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Sounds like putting your Minelab in the deep freeze is a sneaky way to "freeze out" the competition.
In reality, however, they have been using liquid nitrogen, or liquid helium for years to stop the formation of austenite in steels; this is also being used in knife blades, and gun barrels, for uniform grain structure and stress relief, and these gun barrels are air gauged in 10,000 ths.
