Any kind of Coil?

[erkan]

Hi all. I was wondering if one could use any kind of coil with the explorer II. Since at startup it "sets itself up", so to speak, according to its surroundings e.g. groundcondition, disturbing frequencies from electronics and other transmitters nearby etc.
Could one just use any shape of coil and still get results?

My second question is: Can anyone tell me what a standard coil or dubbelD coil is like. I mean: how many windings, clockwise vs. anticlockwise, one coil or two (sending and pickup?), thickness of the wire used, material of wire etc. etc.

Thank for your input,
Kind regards,
Erkan
p.s. i'm not in possesion of one....yet

Yes, you will get results with any coil that is made for the Explorer's. For the other questions about the windings and so forth, I really don't know about that but I thought I would let you know that it doesn't matter what size coil one uses, you will always find coins and what have you with whatever you are using. Good Luck and hope this partially helps.
