Buddy if two coils will get it working, then go for it Great

are you trying to just double the distance with two coils? not sure if it works that way, don't think so Idea

It may just make it more sensitive with picking up a find...

Hi Karl,

I am getting nervous Shame

Nah, I know X will have it done before I go to England,,,, I have faith in him, and I will keep patting him on the back Touch

Man you do know how to suck up Grin

any way I puled out the old book on Op-amps, did you know that you can use them to amplify a signal (Wonder how that works) and if you're not worried yet, I also found out that a coil is made from insulated copper wire and not bob-wire Huh?

Now can you see why I have to start from scratch Grin
