Is It Possible To Diy A Bigger Coil For An Existing Pi Detector Model

[alan46]

Hi, I think of buying the Quest Scuba Tector Pro

, it is a Pulse Induction detector, i intend to use it on land so i need more depth hence i want to build a 15 inch coil for it, by measuring the inductance of the stock coil and building a 'similar inductance' big coil, will it work?

also, does the pulse power also affects the depth, i guess from the small battery and the advertised 14 hour life that it is using less power per pulse, if power maters then will using a 20% lower resistance for the new large coil (thinner wire) help force a bigger current and consequently more power (assuming it is driven by a voltage generator)?

yes it'll work, google fast PI coils.

There's quite a bit involved to have any real success, need to be savvy around electronics. And no I won't elaborate further, sorry
