I strongly agree whith the above statement from J_P and I also agree whith the following one

.... After all, most metal detectorists don't mind if watchers report how well their detectors work......

But I am not very proud to say that even myself belongs to that category as well.
Most of the time it was friends of mine there as well that now know what my LRL could do but again it can not be all of you having the same experience as them.
So I agree J_P that this comes up as a story but anyway is better than sitting there saying nothing anyway.
When you have something that does the job then it is much more difficult to spend time convincing others and especially when they ask you to test your LRL in a pre-set procedure.
It is like you are saying to everybody that my name is George and then they start calling you Nick.It upsets you, as simple as that.
And this is the main reason that nobody wants to prove anything to anybody.
There are Dowsers out there that they can convince skeptics just in a minute whith many different ways but they sit there and laugh.They are considering it as waste of time.
Skeptics are like nightbirds they can see certain things and only at nighttime.

Happy new year to everybody!
Here is something you can do that is easy to prove if you have a video camera.
The next time you find a location where your LRL is telling you there is a target, don't dig that target. Make a note where the location is. Then return home without disturbing anything in the target area. Get your video camera and a friend to go along with you. Bring others too if they want to come. When you return to the place where the LRL is giving a signal, begin some distance away from the target location and have someone hold the camera to film everything. Then let someone else use the LRL and watch where it points to. Make sure you get a video of the LRL moving toward the target that is unknown to the person using the LRL. When you arrive at the target location, then you can take out a metal detector to pinpoint it. Then begin digging and see what you found. This should make a good tests if it is done in a place where the ground was not disturbed by digging before making the video. It is a good idea to keep the camera running without stopping it, so we can see there was no chance to turn if off and make changes around the test area. When you are done you will recover your target the same as if you did not show the video, but the difference is you can put the video on youtube for other people to watch.


Best wishes,
