Instead of that you are looking for other ways of building LRLs when you never had any treasure discovered yet.
Forgive me but I don't understand you.
I remember Esteban said that it is working and I think also he put a very old pfoto somewhere of people using it back in the late '30s.
Well I will put it down again.
I used to owe once something like that and I said it before in some other thread that it was working allright.Some people don't believe me but what can I do about that.
I said to Geo that sometime I will give him the Rx(which I still have) to see if we can make a suitable Tx so to make it work again.
You see we placed it once underneath a tree and we took the Rx and went a bit far from the transmiter while trying to spot a target.It was raining heavily some hours before and water drops was coming down from the leaves.The result was a short circuit at the Tx and it stopped working.We sent it for service but...
They sent us a different LRL back telling us that they could not repair the Tx.I loved that LRL and I was upset when we received back a different one.
Anyway, this one works as well but now you have to be a bit of a dowser to go on target.
To tell you the truth I wouldn't mind of paying some money again for such an LRL and if anybody knows anything in the market please let me know.
Does anybody knows if MAGNACAST™ 5000 FORWARD GAUSS Metal Detector™ works on the same principle?

Hi g-sani,
The Magnacast 5000 is said to be an AM transmitter using a loop antenna to send a signal to one side. Then a second small receiver loop is held in the hand to locate the hidden metal. I heard no information to show that the Magnacast 5000 works, or not works. You can only know by trying it to see. Forward Gauss does not mean anything. No electronics engineer or scientist has ever heard of forward gauss. It does not exist. This is only a word made by the manufacturer to make it sound like it is new technology. Also, I do not believe you will find multiplexing circuits inside this detector like the manufacturer claims. But I don't know for sure.

I would not spend money for this detector unless you see it finds hidden treasures first. The other detectors built by VR Electornics are believed to fail for finding treasure. Even Dell Winders said "...operating conditions deteriorated affecting the reliability of the instrument making it impractical for my use in 1988".

You can read more about the Magnacast 5000 here, where Dell Winders posts false information and tries to hide the truth about forward Gauss: http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13089

Best wishes,
