For those who are interested in how detectors work and how to make your own coils and detectors, there is the geotech1 website.  I made a search coil for my TDI based on information from geotech1 and it works pretty good.  Some of the engineers for the major detector companies also hang out there.

Also, it's kind of an eastern USA relic hunting site but they also have a pretty good and useful classified section:
