Does this sound logical?

It sounds logical, but is not backed up by reality.

First, gold does not react galvanically in a sacrificial way, so buried gold will not produce gold ions. Second, even in cases where ions are produced underground, they will have to migrate to the surface and become airborne. Third, the airborne atoms will be affected far, far more by wind than the Earth's electrostatic field. Fourth, even if ions manage to reach a Mineoro device, it would take a drift tube apparatus to distinguish a gold ion from a potassium ion, something the Mineoros clearly do not have.

It is the hallmark of good advertising to make the impossible sound logical.
