I agree with your statement. Except (in this case) the PDK is not a dowsing instrument. There is no swinging handle, or similar gizmo. It is entirely electronic, in a similar manner to the Mineoro stuff.

I think it's much more than "likely". There may be a halo effect in the ground created by certain items, but the idea of some sort of ionic cloud, hovering above longtime buried gold, is pure fantasy.
