I have had similar experiences. The only application for a GDO these days 
seems to be making or checking traps.

I have never been able to make the 259 coils work. I once tried the thing 
on a very high Q tuned circuit and got a very weak dip with the coil 
centered inside the circuit being tested. Otherwise, those coils are 
useless. I have not found anyone that has been able to make them do 
something useful.
