Has Coil Technology Hit A Wall?

[Sourdough Scott]

Going off of Ron's post.... but has coil technology hit a wall? What can be done with different windings? Different shapes? Computer chips. If we possibly don't see much newer detector technology, is new coil technology possible? What can be done on Monoloops? What can be done on DD's? What can be done on Concentric coils?? Will the Detector companies ever team up with X coils, Coiltek, Nuggetfinder and truly optimize coil improvements? Or should we put this wishful thinking aside and just be happy with what we already have?

I don`t think so, can recall way back it was said the mono could not be improved on being such a simple coil, spiral monos brought the PIs right back barking at the Zs heels until X coil lifted it. Who doesn`t love the aftermarket coil on their 6K, imagine how much better it could be without that chip forcing aftermarket fellows to adhere to MLs marketing regime.

Plenty of options for future development still.... the square winding style that NF has produced, the options for CC coils on current PI detectors, flat winding etc....PLUS the future options for signal processing in the coil rather than on the PCB (like the Gold Monster does) are possibilities.
