A coil is modelled via its design parameters.
No, "the onus is on you and your mates".
I think, I should keep the results until I get paid for! *LOL*
Hey, you & your mates could start a "kickstarter" project to fund the results. *LOL*
^sif,
getting ultra-rich now!!! *LOL*

Spider web coil have
Lower Q at metal detector frequencies for same wire because it need more length for same inductance (more turn). Need more thick wire for same Q. Make coil heavy.
Less field concentration near winds because winds spread wide. Bad for detect very small nugget.
Inside wind less diameter than outside wind and deep detect depend approx. diam^4 for target few time deeper than coil diameter. Less average wind diameter bigger effect than more turn (need for same L), and this why deep advantage better for bundled coil.

Originally posted by PATCHES JUNIOR View PostDoug it is common knowledge in the metal detector manufacturing industry that they do not work as well as a bundled coil, or they would be using them. As Moodz has stated they are easy to build and cheap to produce. So if they were better, the companys would be using them. That is all the info that I and anyone else needs. So first it was Minelab you hated. Now it is bundle wound coils. What is next? Me? Woody? Big dogs? Global warming?

Less field concentration near the windings because they are spread out. This is bad for detecting very small nuggets.
There is a more significant difference between inner diameter and outer diameter. Lower average diameter has a larger effect than needing more turns for the same inductance.
One member here claims that a stock ML PI won't work with a coil Q over 3.9, how did you overcome this problem Doug?
Tell us the depth advantage you measured when testing the spider coil Doug. Was it similar to a smaller or larger bundle wound coil or didn't you do this comparison? Could we obtain this claimed depth advantage by other means such as increased voltage or gains, and you still haven't commented on the fact that the detector gains would have to be wound back because increased depth would also increase the ground signal?
You still haven't commented on the coil TC which would be very long if we increase Q. Is this finally an admission that Minelab got the coil TC right and you and the rest of the world got it wrong?
And regarding testing protocols, it's worth noting that you tested Enhance timings in ground suitable for Normal timings making the test completely meaningless. You now have the hide to ask PJ to help you test a coil??
It seems you have jumped in the deep end without your life jacket again Doug.

I am still waiting for someone to come up with a RECOMMENDED COIL TESTING PROTOCOL.ie what test's should be done, why they should be done and the best way of doing them and how the test results should be interpreted with regard to other coils. You and poor old PJ or Ufox=Paul 99 are clearly incapable of this task!!!

As the expert on how to repetitiously make unfounded performance claims for the spider coil, why don't you recommend a coil testing protocol?

So Paul, why did you remove that obscene picture ? Not that it matters I have a screen grab of it. But better still you've been reported and if mods needs to see it I'll gladly forward it.
Have a nice day.
