Question:

Can I overlap inductor coils?

Building a BFO metal detectorReference coils calls for,AWG #30dimensions: 50 mm height x .5 mm width120 turnsI'll be using AWG #24. However, AWG #24 is .5 mm in diameter. If you do the math, that's120 turns x .5 mm 60 mmSo my coil will be 60 mm. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE ENGINEER CALLS FOR. I'm 10 mm too long, therefore I have an extra 20 winds (10 mm of 24 awg 20 winds)CAN I OVERLAP?Problem is the reference coil (this coil) is fitted into a water fitting. The water fitting is threaded on the outside fitted with a nut. When you move the nut up down the water fitting, it changes the frequencyWon't this be an issue?THanks

Answer:

Capacitors and inductors within the circuit will make the viberations at desired frequency to drift at slash resistance than different (undesired) vibrations. As a consequence reducing the noises in reception. Variable capacitors are exceptional to high-quality tune your stations. However the added circuitry will mean more vigor requirement which defies use of the term 'easy Radio'
The final inductance increases a little bit by overlap winding.
