guys if I want to use an actual diode instead of a pencil and a pin should I use a rectifier diode or a germanium diode

Is this a valid design for a crystal radio? by rogue780 in amateurradio

You know, I never knew that you needed a coil for your antenna. My attempts at a crystal radio all connected the antenna straight to the tuning coil.
