Search the forum for Minelab coil dissections/analysis, the circuit diagrams are there, even PCB layout files if you want to copy them to make your own coils for those machines. The circuit was just a pre-amp, and a bridge rectifier is used to turn the coil-drive square-wave into a DC power supply for the amplifier.
Edit: here's a couple, there are others:
