Yep, frequency's were different, and in my mind, there is no relationship
between the two.

That's how I see it! The inductive affect on two or more coils in proximity to
one another affects several parameters to some degree, but it doesn't mean the
affected parameters are directly related to one another. It does mean that each
parameter that changed can be measured and mutual inductance can be found (and
K or Lm should all be the same). 

Take care, 
Bart
