I read an article on Yahoo.
He asked a farmer friend if he could search his land. That explains how he lucked into it.
"I have the phrase I say sometimes, 'Spirits of yesteryear take me where the coins appear', but on that day I changed coins to gold. I don't know why I said it that day, but I think someone was listening and directed me to it."
Sounds like dowsing to me. Enough of the phony logic/assumptions that he said that everytime. People were dowsing thousands of years before L-rods were invented. It's an "awareness thing". Many dowsers attribute it to their superconscious. Where the subconscious is things known, the superconscious is things unknown to the person.
As for the Whites detector and "luck" I guess if he had been using a PI unit it would have been "skill" LOL. I have a Whites that's over 25 years old. It works way better for surface/shallow targets than does my Minelab Sovereign.
