Coil noise

[6666]

Hi could you please explain this a little for me? I do not understand thank you

From Eric's post
Shielding the coil has another beneficial effect in that it prevents coil to ground spurious responses caused by wet grass, wet ground, seaweed, wet beach, hand capacity, etc. The coil sees only the capacitance to the shield and not to exterior things

Ok, I knew that I thought maybe there was something else. Thanks for clarifying.

Seems like you made a monocoil for a pi detector, if that be the case, then ignore what I said.
I recall 3M Scotch copper mesh tape being favoured for shield.
For me, shielding is quite simple as there are so many options and ways used successfully by other members over the years. I always try to use materials that are cheap and easy to get. The mesh from some coax has been used, to good effect.

If that is directed at me then , yes I did. The copper tape was something I had and is easy to apply. Can be soldered too. Haven't built a VLF yet so unaware of the differences in coils, their behavior and the importance of mentioning the type of detector in the thread. That said. I do have a TGSL board I have recently purchased. I'll start it one day when all my honey do's are completed. Although the list never seems to shorten
