H3Tec discussion

[Art3811]

Whether or not dowsing is "real" has no bearing on whether or not something is a dowsing rod. Even if I don't believe a Ouija board works, I can still look at one and say, "That's a Ouija board."

Just because they are AS sucesfull as if they were carefully looking around, choosing a place and dig. They could also toss a coin, but then their experience in knowing where previous recovery were more sucesfull would not work.

They are not, or it would have been proved long ago.

Thank you gentle for your answers….I have purchased 4 LRL’s and MFD’s from 3 different manufactures. I asked all three of them similar questions. They answered all my questions and showed me how the devices worked. You guys keep claiming that you are on the internet to keep people from buying these devices…How could your failure to answer simple questions keep people from investigating the subject more?..That is why some of this membership are inline to by LRL salesman of the your….Art

Art, the failure to answer how it works is YOURS , not ours. YOU say it works, so prove it, then tell us HOW.

Thank you Fred…
It is a common psychological problem in that insecure people tend to project their personal deficiencies unto another in self defense, they are sure trying to pass theirs lack of knowledge over to you

[Rudy]

Hey Rudy…If your theories are right could you explain to the rest of us how come these devices are so good at locating gold and other minerals?....Art

Art, I was not making a blanket statement about LRLs in general. I was staying within the topic of this thread. Specifically the H3 Tec device. My conclusion, based on sound accepted science, about the H3 Tec device is that it can not successfully employ NMR techniques to detect anything. Any detection capability that it may exhibit is strictly based on the ideomotor effect on a dowsing rod.

Wether or not some individuals can successfully dowse for precious metals has no bearing on wether or not the H3 Tec claims about their machine employing NMR are truthful.

PS: I could have gone on with a few more reasons in my analysis but I thought my point was already proven.

[Dave J.]

What's a "Dowsing Claimant"?

Art, you need a crash course on what it means to be a "dowsing claimant".

A "claimant" is a dowser/LRL'er who claims he can do this and do that, but can't back it up with anything besides more claims he can do this and do that. You know the pattern well.

The nongullibles here also know the pattern well. We don't believe you can do diddlysquat, and it's the things that you say that convince us of that. We've been listening to blowhard braggarts since we were kids, you're nothing new to us.

I'll tell you a Monday evening bedtime story. You decide whether it's fact or fiction. Lose some sleep over it if that's what it takes.

Growing up, "Jerry" noticed that sometimes he seemed to have hunches that were unusually lucky, and sometimes dreamed things that later came true in detail. In his late teens he took up an interest in "treasure hunting" as many young fellows do, and tried his hand at dowsing with a coat hanger. And by golly, now and then he seemed to get results just too good to explain by chance.

He took up dowsing as a hobby, and as it turns out he actually had a bit of talent.

Then he met other more experienced dowsers who claimed to get really good results with fancier equipment, and had all kinds of tips on why bad dowses happen. And that was the beginning of Jerry's downfall.

He started bragging how good he was.

And his new friends trained him in an alabi system that stopped him cold from being able to learn from his mistakes. The alabi system kept improving instead of his skill.

Since every failure could be attributed to something or someone besides himself, he became even more sure of his dowsing ability, bragging even more, even while his ego investment in outcomes was ruining the ability of his subconscious mind to be able to manifest itself through the rods.

He got so proud that he sunk big bucks into a fancy LRL so he wouldn't have to be seen with the lowly dowsing rods any more. His LRL buddies complimented him. The LRL came with an even more elaborate alabi system. And LRL'ers are supposed to deny that they're even dowsing. It's some sort of fancy technology, right? right? right?

And thus did Jerry become like his mentor buddies. Zero dowsing ability, in so much denial that he didn't even know he had lost all dowsing ability, claiming to be able to do this if only and that if only and this other thing if only, demanding to be believed, and bewildered that nobody with a lick of common sense would take him seriously. And his friends and family wondered what had happened to the reasonably level-headed kid they once knew.

At least his LRL buddies were still there to keep him pumped up.

And that's the story of how "Jerry" became a "dowsing claimant".

Hello Dave,

For the purpose of this essay, an "LRL" is a so-called long range locator which relies on a hand-held swivel mounted pointer device (typically a telescoping antenna) and has some sort of alleged electronic stuff associated with it which distinguishes it from a plain vanilla dowsing rod. Some LRL's use two, one in each hand, just as dowsers who use bent coat hangers usually prefer to use two rather than one.

'Your definition posted is not accurate and it's incomplete. It's not accurate when it states 'some use two, one in each hand'. Wrong. Those are not LRLs. Those are the sensors of MFD type based LRLs.
And it's incomplete when you only consider swivel type LRLs. There are also electronic LRLs, with no swivel mechanism.'

When it comes to LRL's, there's usually a nasty debate over proving stuff one way or the other, what blinded testing is and whether or not it even matters, whether people who say their LRL finds stuff in a useful way are deluded or liars or providing accurate information, whether the supposed science really is or is just a bunch of malarkey,and so on ad infinitum(...)

BS#1.
Will not care to coment.

Most of life doesn't require such a challenging level of critical thinking. People argue over what car is best, but nobody argues whether cars are just a scam. Houses, the roof may leak but nobody argues whether houses really "work" or not. (…) Metal detectors? There are legal and illegal knockoffs, but nobody debates whether metal detectors as a class of product are bogus. (…)

BS#2
They are bogus when they do not go deep enough for the price paid. They are bogus when they do not work well over mineralized soils. They are bogus when they do not work at all over high magnetic locations (to the point of even become defective), they are bogus when they have problems in pinpointing long time buried metal which produces a 'halo' effect and confuses the coil.
And finally, they are bogus when they still employ an obsolete concept of early 1900's with all the fancy add-ons.
Remember those 90's TV comercials about hair systems? A wig is a wig by any other name...

(...)Most LRL's are rather expensive, and if you're gonna get one you should satisfy yourself that the thing will probably do something for you besides empty your wallet. Caveat emptor, do your homework carefully.(...)

BS#3
I imagine they are expensive so that the user is somehow discouraged to open the device and also due to the benefits it brings.
I have a friend who always states he recovered already 10 times the value he paid in his (expensive) LRL.
There are also regular MD users who pay ultra expensive amounts for a gadget that can only go some inches and take years to even recover in goods the amount he paid for the machine. Of course there are the lucky ones who can find a diamond ring all of a sudden. But how often does this happen, when the majority of time these users collect more pulltabs than the beer factories themselves?
And there are also the ones who never found anything valuable. I know some of them. So it's just a matter of relativity.

There's a way to make sense of the chaos of information and misinformation and intentional disinformation and personality battles that aren't your battles. And that's to cut out the information middlemen. Go straight to the source, the manufacturer, and read the advertisement. With the brains God done guv ya turned on and tuned up, because as you already figured out, it's a jungle out there.

Non sequitur...

From an LRL manufacturer's perspective, there are basically two markets: the treasure hunting gullibillies, and military and security professionals who are not so gullible but can be conned with clever pseudoscience. (...)I that it's a scam, so you don't have to suffer the punishment that scammers inflict upon their customers.

BS#4
See BS#1 above.

The manufacturer doesn't say "you can dowse with it" because then you'd wonder why you were paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for some pseudo-electronic nonsense when a bent coat hanger would probably work as well.

Define 'pseudo electronic nonsense'.

There's another problem with confessing it to be a dowsing rod. (...)They pay a high price for the privilege of pretending they're not dowsing.

Define dowing and dowsing rod.

Since an LRL in this market makes extraordinary claims, the advertising is accompanied by an explanation of the supposed "scientific principle" of how the thing works.

What extraordinary claim is made and why 'supposed' scientific principle? Detail this in scientific terms.

1. If it's designed to be held in the hand, with something that points to the target mounted on a swivel, it's a dowsing rod.

Since you did not provide the explanation for dowsing, your statement above is non sequitur.

Dead giveaway. In principle it would be possible to design certain types of real locating systems to mechanically actuate a pointer to indicate the direction of the target, but such a system if it existed would not need to be held in the hand, just as an ordinary magnetic compass does not need to be held in the hand in order to point north.

In order to fully explain the reasons a swivel LRL needs to be held, I would have to disclose information of my own research, which I choose not to do at this time.
But it suffices to say that there are interaction of charges between air, body and target to build up induction and resonance based on the frequencies used. The swivel LRL user often needs to be in movement in order to create electrostatic charges. Also, the human body is very sensitive to tiny currents in the ground when using rods. They can sense about 20mA to a few microamperes. Since the body is also very sensitive to small magnetic fields (Rocard calculated about 0.3mOe/m), swivel LRLs and MFD types act as increasing amplifiers with the correspondent frequencies. A quantum system is formed working similar, but not exactly as a Aharonov-Bohm magnetic dipole to sense magnetic anomalies. Something that a regular electronic device would never be able to do because of noise. However it's possible to build a special electronic device for this function.
Trying to infere that an LRL rod or antenna should behave like a magnetic compass is simply absurd.

For instance, if I designed a metal detector that looked pretty much like a regular metal detector but which could discriminate gold from other alloys (an extraordinary claim), if the thing really worked the company would have to either disclose how it was done in a way that other scientists could understand it and in principle could replicate it.

No they would not.

how do they address the problem of satisfying skeptics?

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,.... They simply don't do it.
What for?

If you are skeptical and they can't satisfy your expectation that such claims be substantiated, they don't deserve your business even if the thing works.

Oh, my God...

......Now anyone familiar with the electric fields produced by the human heart and how they might be detected without physical contact to a human body can quickly figure out that such a claim is malarkey, but most folks don't have that particular kind of knowledge.

You don't know what you're saying. If some acupuncture meridian points such those of pericardium, frontal and kidneys are short circuited by a wire, all the body looses the response for dowsing and also there's a phase imbalance. This shows the human body is a quantum complex system much, much deeper than you might think.

1. The photos and movies show what is obviously a pivoted pointer designed to be held in the hand. What a coincidence that it looks like a classic dowsing rod!

What is a classic dowsing rod?
In order to substantiate your claim, define dowsing and dowsing rod.

PS#3: if someday there's a non-scam handheld long range locating device for finding valuables, persons, drugs, or weapons, a lot of us would like to hear about it.

As you may know, H3Tec is planing an event in december for their devices.
So, if you are serious about knowing the truth whatever that might be, why don't you show up and gather elements for your 'proof'?
Or you will play like some mambo boys here who whine that no LRL manufacturer is willing to demonstrate their products so they could know about it..? Duhh...

I suggest that next time you decide to write an 'essay' about something, study and research the object you will be writing about as much as you can. Otherwise you will come up with a lame and incorrect aproach causing to derail the thesis.
I'm sorry.
Best regards.

[Art3811]

In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system (usually a linear system) to oscillate at larger amplitude at some frequencies than at others. These are known as the system's resonant frequencies (or resonance frequencies). At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude oscillations.
To prove that objects emit energy or a signal is simple. Use a quart jar. Take some liquid rubber and dab it onto the center of the lid. Pull it away from the lid to create a thin string that looks like the strand of a spider web. This is the hardest part of the test. Attach a 1/2 inch Alum foil disk to the rubber strand. Screw the lid on the jar.

Place a protractor on the table with the 90 degree mark pointing to north. Set the jar on the protractor and alien the disk in a north south direction. Place a gold nugget beside the jar on the 0 degree mark of the protractor and wait for the disk to turn. Now try placing other objects by the jar one at a time. I found that a slice of onion gave off the strongest signal of anything that I tried.

What turned the disk? I can only conclude that objects emit energy.....

You are the ones that are saying that the H3Tec is aU Dowsing Rod…Do you know anything about Dowsing except for the fact that you can not Dowse? Can you tell us why you claim that all LRL’s are just Dowsing rod?
... Just some more questions for you to duck and dodge…Art

Ummmm... It seems you are misquoting people again. Nobody said "all LRL’s are just Dowsing rod", except you when you misquoted Qiaozhi.
The consensus among Geotech members who have actually seen the H3Tec us that it is a dowsing rod.
Tim Williams the "LRL Man" also considers the H3Tec to be a dowsing rod. Tim was at the Texas Treasure Show with Carl when they both took a look and recognized the H3tec to be a dowsing rod.

http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87877&postcount=63

http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87930&postcount=80

Tim personally inspected H3Tec equipment, and If you are not aware, he sells dowsing rods and other apparatus that is used for dowsing and LRLs as well as some conventional treasure hunting technology.
Tim Williams -- the "LRL Man" says it is a dowsing rod?
If anyone should know what a dowsing rod is, I would expect Tim to know.

…If your theories are right could you explain to the rest of us how come these devices are so good at locating gold and other minerals?....Art

Ummmm Why not forget the theories for the moment, and look at some historical facts:

During the Texas Treasure Show the factory reps were demonstrating the H3Tec finding a silver coin in the field. Carl walked past the area where they were demonstrating the H3Tec that was set for silver while he was carrying a 10 oz silver bar. According to Carl, he made sure they were scanning in his direction, but they had no idea he had a silver bar in front of their silver detector. http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showp...07&postcount=1
It seems to me this is an example where the H3Tec is not so good at locating silver.

Tim Williams, the "LRL Man" was also there during the H3Tec live demonstrations. He hid some silver coins for the H3Tec demonstrators to locate. He reported: "If the unit was truly all electronic sensing the 2 people that were testing the units would have had no problem detecting the silver I hid. That was not the case". See here: http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showp...8&postcount=55

We read how both Carl and Tim saw the H3Tec fail during the public factory demonstrations. But Carl and Tim Williams are not the only people saying the H3Tec doesn't work.
H3Tec gained worldwide notoriety when it became listed among other fraudulent "dowsing rod" style locators being being investigated by people who want to put a stop to fake bomb detector sales.
See here: http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/...espondent.html
And here: http://sniffexquestions.blogspot.com/
And here: http://www.linkedpk.com/vidfeeder_vi...id=riGMVrZmJII
And here: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/show....php?p=2494077

Etc, etc. etc...
The facts show the H3Tec failed during the factory demonstrations. Maybe Rudy's theories are correct after all?


Did you find an answer to your question of why Qiaozhi claims the H3Tec is a dowsing rod?

You guys keep claiming that you are on the internet to keep people from buying these devices…How could your failure to answer simple questions keep people from investigating the subject more?

Sorry, Art, my only goal is to provide information. Folks can make up their own mind. I could tell you the truth about what I found with the H3 device, but I don't think you would find the truth nearly as fascinating as a pack of lies. In any case, you're not inclined to believe anything I say, so I'm not inclined to waste my time.

Tellyawhat, since you're precisely the kind of person Chuck is looking for in a customer, I strongly urge you to buy an H3 device. Make sure you get the latest Mod-5 Turbo model, and get the 5+ mile version. Wouldn't want you limited to a mere mile or 2. Then hopefully you'll go back to TNet, and tell those darn skeptics what fools they are for not owning the latest el-ar-el.

Now, if my goal in life is to keep people from buying these devices, would I recommend that you buy one?

P.S. -- I also recommend Hung buy one. How bout that, Chuck? I'm send you two Perfect Customers! They have a huge appetite, feed them well.

I don't need to buy anything.
I have my own working stuff already. Some that I bought and some that I buid but don't sell it. I'm not a salesman.

Tell ya what.
Keep using your MD junk to find coins at the beach.
We'll remain using our stuff to treasure hunting.
How's that?
Is it too hard for you to accept this simple fact in life or you will need some more therapy sessions?

Meanwhile... Have fun with the H3tec guys.
Thanks to you, they should expect soon a boost in sales. The same thing RT experienced in all these years. Skeptics are a great promotion tool.
And...
Life goes on.

Hmmmm....
A boost in sales?
Really?

Is this why the owners of H3Tec are sending email demands to Carl to remove all of the H3Tec stuff from his forum?
Maybe the alleged boost in sales will solve the poverty problem for their California rep, so he can afford to attend their big event in December.
Maybe the owner will become rich enough to hire an attorney...

As apparently you can not define the terms I point, then I assume you do not know what they mean.
Thus everything you wrote falls apart and it's just 'non sequitur'.

I agree, maybe it could become a bed time story, but it would need another plot so that it prevents the reader from falling asleep before the final part.
