Some comments...

Everything is very crudely made, and hastily assembled. Looks like something I might have made in Cub Scouts when I was 8. Piezo volume is very low, probably a good thing so you don't attract too much attention, or annoy too many dogs. Battery flops around inside. I believe I read that opening the box voids the warranty... doesn't look like that's much to worry about.

Regarding prior comments, yes the "line of thought in this forum" is generally from a skeptical point. I've seen 20 years of LRL fraud. Garbage that only puts money in the manufacturers pocket, and nothing else. If any of these things worked worth a crap, my $25,000 would be easy pickins.

Some of these devices are outright laughable, like the Ranger-Tell Examiner and the Colorado Gold Sticks. I can see how people can be fooled by Mineoro, or OKM, or even Electroscope. But a calculator taped to a dowsing rod? A soap box that beeps? Really?? It hard to imagine that anyone would take any of this stuff seriously. But, they do.

Fortunately, with the Colorado Gold Sticks, it's an inexpensive lesson. Not so with Mineoro, Fitzgerald, or Electroscope.
