Except if targets are buried by yourself - than you detect not by PD, but by SD (Self Deception).
To be slightly pedantic - self deception applies to dowsing gadgets and certain electronic LRLs, but the PD does have a real T/R metal detector built-in (a Heathkit GD348 ) and therefore is actually capable of detecting metal buried in the ground. The debate surrounds the claimed medium-range detecting ability, not the short-range. By the way, I say "medium-range" because the PD does not claim to be a long-range detector. The term "long-range" is reserved for the idiotic claims of target detection measured in kilometers.
