My understanding is that a searchcoil is basically two loops of wire, encased in whatever. One to send and one the receive.
What is it that makes searchcoils so that you can't modify the connection and use any coil on any machine. I know that coils on the Exterra series are for specific frequencies, but what determines that? Is it the number of turns in the loop?
Would it be possible to adapt a good coil like the Minelab "Pro coil" to work with a Sovereign or a Whites V3 ?
Some people make their own coils so i'm thinking maybe a coil could be adapted for a diferent detector...
Anybody know?
Thanks,
Julien
