In a similar manner to dowsing, you start to see patterns in the random beeping (that are not really there) or are possibly due to multi-path reflections, and start following an imaginary "signal line". At some point you will reach an area that looks interesting to the subconscious mind, and you search around (now using the PDK as a real metal detector) and low-and-behold you find something! Of course, the "treasure" was never really detected from several meters away, but it's a good illusion. The PDK has the added advantage that it has a real metal detector built-in, whereas normal LRLers do their final recovery with a different detector.

Whenever a metal detector (either separate or built-in) is melded with a dowsing instrument, the true merit or worth of the dowsing gadget will always be an
unknown --no matter what the operator believes.
The only way to effectively evaluate a dowsing wand (or dowsing method) is to test it by itself.
