I'm fairly certain this was an early off-resonance design. Most of the problems with them stemmed from the coil and this could be a real problem for you.

Off-resonance gave better discrimination than the detectors of the day but depth wasn't to good and working on a sort of reversed induction balance principle with the detector operating in an off balance state then the target bringing the detector into balance wasn't easy to achieve. C-Scope in the U.K. ended up replacing all the detectors they had sold that worked on this principle and replacing them with a standard VLF design !
