Hello again Bjorn.
I've just followed the link in your post [www.prostockdetectors.com] and read the contents.
As a professional reading the article, it conveyed only one thing.
The person who wrote it was attempting to employ his familiarity of terms and effects bandied around in amateur radio CB chit-chat, and wrongly assimilating them to the low frequency spectrum of metal detecting.
Take the statement, " that your detector is like a CB radio-transmitter"
Utter crap....no other polite way of putting it.
Or.."The search head is the same as a radio receiving antenna"
NO...not the same as. But rather it can act as one.
So....

Our search-heads depend on an electrostatic screen to allow it to function properly.
What radio antenna do you know of has such a screening?
..None I guess.
A radio aerial is only a radio aerial when it
