The Aurificusian Hypothesis

[Aurificus]

No, no....
You have it all wrong!

We are not interested in knowing the details of your great original idea for a quite different type of MD. This belongs to you alone.

What we are interested in is to learn what results you get from the knowledge you say gou gained from reading this forum about detecting buried metal using an IR LED detector. Since we hear claims of detecting buried metal with IR LED detectos, but no plausible explanation to describe how it could possibly work, and no demonstration to show that it actually will result in recovering a treasure, we only look for a way to convince ourselves that it works in spite of the preponderance of evidence that suggests it does not. A simple demonstration, or an easy to build project would settle the dispute as to whether this method works or not.

Considering how you claim to have gathered much of the key information from this forum to pioneer an advanced IR LRL which surpasses the capabilities of Esteban's IR LRL, does it not seem fitting that you would feel gratitude enough to demonstrate to the forum what you have learned?

Or is it your intention to act as a parasitic organism who extracts the best of the years of toil and tormentuous work of dedicated experimenters like Esteban and others who have found the keys to unlock the locks that have concealed the method for so many ages, only to hide the fruits of their labours, while tormenting those who contributed by showing photos of nuggets you have found using their methods?

2) I have stated that I am interested in discussing the physics of how the reported results might be possible.

3) I have stated that if such a system is possible it is likely to be "hit & miss". due to an huge range of vaiables in the sort of targets we seek and the enviroments they are found in.

Looks like its up to me to advance things a degree or two

Not at all.
My question is whether you will provide a simple demonstration, or an easy to build project to show how well your concept of an advanced IR LED LRL works. This question has remained unanswered.

After reading your detailed items 1-6 in your post above, should we conclude that no demonstration or a simple to build project will be forthcoming upon your building an advanced IR LED LRL?

Hi,
about IR LRL (as with other kinds)...

the fact is ...there aren't facts.

Just words... and with words you'll not detect coins buried 50cm from 10meters far.

All discussions and dialectics here serve nothing if you'll not detect long range the coin!

For so many years now we heard of wonderful results of LRLs (not only from Esteban , but also from Dr. Hung and many others) but get no facts, no proofs, no reliable theory, no complete schematics/plans, no patents, no double blind-test with educated observers, no new attempt about the challenge(s), no serious and trustable report about a working LRL.

Just words... and with words we can make jokes and sarcasm too... why not ? These jokes or sarcasm don't change reality: that LRLs don't work in practice.

Any serious THunter knows that these LRLs are BS... and serious ones that belive they work are simply self-decepted cause cannot pass with success any double-blind test.

But self-deception trick their mind... they don't wanna make double-blind tests cause INCONSCIOSLY FEAR of the results... I mean, that in double-blind test their LRL will show its total unusefulness.

Then , how to explain themselves that they are such morons cause spent thousands dollars in some spare plastic... hot melt glue and some pvc pipe filled with south-american made coffee-taste farts?

I'd be happy to detect gold nuggets, size (mass) of coin, in real "'natural ground", at 50cm deep, standing on top of it, with reasonably priced commercial MD. Double blind tested & manufacturer guaranteed, Of course

You asked for params about test, hit ratio etc for LRL... I told you my idea.

We are not talking of conventional MDs... that are know for their limitation in detection of small metallic masses in soil. Not a big news.

Anyway, some PIs can detect a single coin at that range if some conditions are matched... e.g. on dry sand it is possible and I've done...the problem is that conditions are far from average search field and that device will be so sensitive to other stuff like brick/pottery and , of course, can't discriminate anything like a VLF will do in a more close range.

It's supposed an LRL CAN/MUST detect items like coins at least at 50cm depth...and from several meters away... otherwise what we are talking about here ?

Normal range detection ? You have it already on common MDs.

Max

MD's use Brute force of transmitted EMR, I am interested in investigating possible sources of "signals" from gold nuggets that can be detected passively.
You have "proved" that IR LED affect targets "ZERO" so that can therefore be considered passive!

Re: Valuable Coins, Treasures,... Not much of that around here!!,
but if works for gold should have some application for other items.

I make no claims for distance etc. but 1 metre @ 50cm. would be Amazingly Excellent for starters, easier than swinging coils.

So if necessary for correctness, call it sRL, rL, passive MD, Geo Sensor, whatever keeps you happy

I'm interested in the physics not the politics or marketing.

Hi,
I understand... you want a passive detector... with no transmitter then.

But the problem is : receiver of what ?

Cause if you don't know what to look for it's difficault thinking that a passive approach would work.

I read Esteban's claims on IR and RF passive devices but to me the first is impossible in practice... the second I don't understand which signal (e.g. frequency) you're supposed to detect to locate the target.

That's much talk about... but we end up with an FM radio that untuned it's supposed to pick up some signal (or absence of signal ?) from targets...

But where's theory for that ? What's explaination of this supposed phenomenon ?

Cause it's easy say... wire an FM radio or a square frame of aluminium with a toroid... but if you don't know what are you doing you'll not ever know if you're doing good... or if failure is due to your implementation etc

But seems Esteban is always playing the old game of "duck and cover" about informations...

Maybe he's under some table there... thinking how to take and post some other brilliant picture of his LRL pistols.

Dr. hung has found a way to lock onto the signal of gold, using a RangerTell LRL. He has since modified this LRL. But I doubt his improved method would work for other Items different than gold because of the unique nature of gold that he discovered. According to Dr. hung, the signal from gold can be sensed via the mechanism of the capacitance in the cells of the body of a person using a RangerTell. A signal line is shot and returned to the RangerTell due to the action of the signal generator (calculator) coupling with the antenna circuit below. The return signal apparently becomes much stronger when pointed at buried gold, and rebounds to the cells of the LRL user's hand which are acting like a capacitor. It is presumed that this is due to resonance with the gold frequency. To get the deepest detection you will need to use an LRL that is capable of sending microwave trains, such as his modified RangerTell. But also, take note that he is locking onto the signal that comes from gold, because gold DNA produces a substance that does not permit it to corrode like other metals. Therefore he cannot rely on any "halo effects" from gold, but only the native gold signal. Some have speculated that the signal emitted from gold actually comes from the substance the gold DNA produces to coat the gold, not the gold itself. The feeling is this organic substance is much more likely to produce a signal that can couple with the capacitor effects of the operator's cells. The details are more accurately understood when taken directly from Dr. hung's post:

Actually it can go much, much deeper if you use a special aproach of 'microwave trains'.

Gold is the most powerful 'self defensive' metal when it comes to avoid any harm to its structure, such as rust, oxidation, etc. Its DNA produces a substance which coats the metal to fight against those 'threats'.

My non-technical-hypothetical-possible explanation :
I´t absorbtion of natural radiated energy by the halo effect, from long wave to X-ray wavelenght.
So with a AM radio, fm , wideband microwave or IR light you will detect the same effect.for some reason the IR light must be modulated, just has the PD in the khz range needed to be.
Of course it could also be random beeping wrongly interpreted by human brain.But the halo effect is there...
I believe Esteban don´t know more about the effect itself, so he explains how to build it but no more.

so your IR

Hi Fred,
Of course, this could not work when using the Aurificus theory and practice of detecting gold with an IR LED, simply because he is sensing a thermal gradient, not anything related to a "halo effect". The Aurificus theory relies on thermal variations at the location of the buried metal, which are powered by the solar energy at the surface of the soil. Because of little-understood energy transformations, the effects of a thermal gradient at the buried metal object will be detected using a pulsed IR LED, regardless of any evidence of a serious signal to noise ratio problem. This can all be proved by observing Arurificus demonstrating his IR LED detector working, or by building a simple test device patterned after Aurificus advanced version of Esteban's IR LED detector. But you will never have the chance to see this proof, because Aurificus has indicated that he does not intend to provide any demonstration or simple plans to allow people to prove that what he says is true or not.

But you can take Aurificus word for it that it is sensing thermal gradients from the buried metal, just as sure as you can take Dr. hung's word for it that gold DNA produces a substance that coats the gold to protect it from corrosion. Dr. hung's observation of gold behavior constitutes further proof that gold does not produce any "halo effect". Thus, the Aurificus theory of detecting energy derived from a thermal gradient must be the only remaining method to detect the elusive gold signal.


p.s. There is one other way to detect the gold signal in the absence of any "halo effect". You can use a RangerTell to shoot and return a signal line. If it is properly programmed for the gold frequency, then it will charge the cells in your hand that is holding the RangerTell, and point the direction of the gold. This is said to be a good method to sense a coin at a range up to a mile.

Thank-you, Max, J-P, Esteban & Fred,

As the discussion is now tending towards the technical , I would like to initially concentrate on proposals by which buried metal objects might produce "detectable" signals.

I am personally interested in signals that could/can be detected "passively" with a "sensor" constructed from "conventional electronic components".

As my time to devote to this project (one of Way Too Many) is limited, I prefer to investigate what I should be looking for, first, before considering what might be the best way to find it.

Please forgive me, in advance, if I do not respond to general posts about the impossibility, non-viability, un-reality, BS of LRL, remote sensing, etc.
"Criteria for Scientific Proof of LRL" is a better place for that

For any-one following the thread who is looking for plans, schematics, etc.
I Have None, this is not what is happening here. Morgan recently posted schematics, descriptions, photos, in another thread, I suggest you look at those for some ideas.

Cheers
Aurificus.

Hi Aurificus,
Perhaps the RangerTell method is not the best.

I think you have found the answer. It seems obvious that a thermal gradient at the location of the buried metal is the way to go. But not with a simple IR thermometer. You should use a pulsed IR LED in order to get past the purely heat energy at the surface. We have learned that the heat from the buried coin must go through an energy frequency transformation before it will become detectable, and the IR LED is just the tool which can detect the transformed solar energy anomaly.

The IR LED is one of the few passive LRLs that would qualify for your search. The only other might be a ferrite sensor. But the ferrite is said to be highly susceptable to RF noise, unlike the IR LED. The other LRLs are for the most part active detectors, in the sense that they must send out a signal in order to receive a response. As far as I know, there are no other passive LRL techniques other than the passive RF receiver (ferrite) and the IR passive receiver.

Technically, the IR LED could be classed as an active detector in the sense that it emits an IR illumination in a 40 degree cone. But this emission is only acting as an antenna (according to Esteban). The actual sensor for this IR LEDis a passive modified broadcast receiver which is not really connected to the IR LED. So in reality, aside from building a simple square wave driven IR LED, you will only need to modify an FM receiver in order to passively detect the thermal gradient that you have described.

Any other LRL would require building circuits that must energize the target in order to receive a signal, and would not fall in the class of passive detectors.
