My detecting buddy made one and it works pretty good. He has been using it for about 5 years. All he had to do was install a small pvc pipe and glue the coil wire to a pipe cap.

The one he made is similar to this one:

Bugar; Those tiny wires are hard to work with. Maybe next time just clean the varnish off the ends and tie them in a knot. Should still work, I have done this in the past with different things.
