Hello everyone, I would need help, for a 10 concentric Teknetic coil, to adapt it to a Bounty Hunter Platinum, which has a different plug, some of you have covered the connection scheme of the two coils, or can help me how to connect everything. Thank you.

It would help us out if you told us what gear you have.
Do you have the Bounty Hunter detector? Do you have a BH coil for it? Do you have the Teknetics coil?
If so, with a basic multimeter, it should be possible to sort out your wiring.
The Tek 'Greek series' 7.8kHz coils have a metal-bodied connector, with a screw-on locking ring. The pinout for these coils is:
Pin1 : RX ground
Pin2 : RX hot
Pin3 : TX cold
Pin4 : TX hot
Pin5 : Shield/screen
DC resistances are :
Pin1 - Pin2 : about 40 Ohms (30 - 50 possible)
Pin3 - Pin4 : about 3 Ohms
By comparing your two coils, you should be able to work out the TX, RX and shield. Then you have only 4 possible ways to wire it up.
The Shield and RX ground will be joined together inside the control box, so use the multimeter to work out which 2 pins are connected. That will then tell you which RX connection is the Ground one. So then that just leaves the TX wires to identify. There's only two ways round they can go. Both will 'work', but ... the wrong way will give a 'double-blip' on a target, the correct way will give the proper single blip. Swap the two TX wires over if needed.
Edit: The Fisher F2 originally had the push-in connector and uses Bounty Hunter 6.6kHz coils, but may have the same pinouts as the 7.8kHz units.
For guidance , the F2 pinout is:
Pin2 : TX cold
Pin5 : TX hot
Pins1, 4 : RX coil
Pin3 Shield
Let us know how you get on.Comment

Thank you Mr. Skippy, and Mr. KT35 for your detailed intervention, I was very helpful, I measured the two coils with a multimeter both the resistors and the inductors, and with little I managed to perfectly connect the new coil to the Bounty Hunter Platinum. Thanks again!!Comment
