I am trying to build a metal detector, however I can
find plenty of info regarding the circuitry, but nothing
on the coils. Any pointers to info? Many thanks.
I do have some specific questions if anyone can enlighten...
Why is the coil often shielded with something conductive and
then this shield connected to ground?
What defines the maximum turns for a passive recieve coil?
Why are some coils soaked in petrolium jelly?
What defines the minimum inside diameter of a coil,
especially one that connects to a resonant circuit?
When winding the coil, the wire can be wound or stacked
in a variety of arrangements, what effect does this have
on the coil and the EM field it produces?

Thanks for any help
