I enjoy tinkering, and I'm thinking of experimenting with different homemade coils on my Bounty Hunter Prospector. I found this teardown of a 4" coil. If it's the same coil that's still available, it's supposed to be compatible with all Bounty Hunter models. I compared the pinouts described on that page to my stock 8" coil, or whatever it is. My pins 1-2 measure 5.3 ohms, and 3-4 measure 8.0 ohms. I don't have an inductance meter, but the local hackerspace might.
Does that coil design tell you anything about how Bounty Hunter detectors operate? If I understand correctly, one coil is transmit and the other is receive. Which is which?
