Hello Mr. Green;

I assume VS stands for vertical Short Period.

Id like to put in my 2 cents for your thoughts.

No one as of yet seems to have built what
I consider to be a correct sensor.

You really need a two sensor device that is grounded in
the middle to be a  single three wire device.

This allows to double the signal level as well as provide
a proper balanced input into a differential amplifier.

Both sensors need to be identically matched so it
might be difficult to build.

You cant just make a centered tapped coil.

It needs to be two identical coils arranged in
a series  additive fashion feeding the common center
point and the plus minus signals on a 100%
Shielded Underground cable.

The magnets need to be matched as well in strength.

Just thought Id like to say this since everyone is going
for only a half kinda sensor and not what the input amplifier design
sheets seem to require. ( two identical symmetrical inputs grounded in the center ).
This makes construction more difficult if it is one of a kind.

Cheers :-)
