Here is a link for some ferrite antennas some are for ELF. Scroll down the right hand column to radio antennas. I still figure it is cheaper to go with the higher frequencies 62KHz.

Default An old LRL based on large coils

In the 1950s I had a friend who was always experimenting with alternative science projects. One of his was a dual coil device that he was shown by a friend of his that used to stop by and see him His friend was finding gold deposits using a dual antenna system plus a low frequency transmitter with probes stuck in the ground. The antennas were about 2 feet on a side. I'll try and draw and post below. Please don't ask me for details as what is in the diagram is all a remember.

Still waiting on the coil wire.

I placed an ion meter next to the AM tuned loop antenna I built and slowly turned the dial until the ion meter peaked, I had tuned the antenna to a strong nearby station.

What's an ion meter?

Air Ion Counter. When I was young my father had a nice Hallicrafers receiver and I remember feeling that ion buzz when I'd get near the receiver. Certainly didn't know what it was then, just thought it was electricity.

BTW, the coil wire did arrive yesterday but got too much other stuff going on.

Interesting.
Can the air ion counter you used be seen on this page so we can link to the page where they are sold?
