Do all Nugget finder coils have litz wiring ???

Hi All

After info on Nf coils do all the coils have litz wiring in them ie from the first ever produced or did it start at a certain year and model number of the coil.

Basically do all the older white coils have the same wiring as well as the dark grey coils that are out now.

thanks explorer

Nugget Finder has used litz wiring from the start.
There are small differences between their older wjhite coils
and their later grey advantage coils, that may mean a lot.

Their can only ever be small but maybe important differences between
any coils for Minelab Pi's as the electronic factors are tight. Wink

Has the internal windings or amount of wire used changed in any way over the last 20 years. ie to make them more productive and efficient out on the field????

R & D is a constant ongoing process and has been since day dot. As an improvement is found it is incorporated. They have had to evolve to keep up with and compliment the advancements in detectors.
We've seen the evolution in the outer materials and there's been evolution on the insides aswell. As for the differences in the windings, that's probably a question best left to the manufacturer.

Hey Tuna, here's an idea, when ya got plenty of spare time in the shop and on a hot day when things are a bit slow cut one in a cross section to give us a look at the insides mate. Then when ya done that one and have a bit more spare time get an old fiberglass model and do the same, then we can have a real good squiz at em both. Good idea Idea
