Just a warning for anyone getting into metal detecting and even considering purchasing one of these ......[size=large]DON'T!:nono:[/size].They only thing they will detect is your hard earned $$$.

Real funny video too, especially when the the unit started to spin above the target.:pinnochio
 
Maybe the Lagina brothers could use one to find the Holy grail.....Solomons Gold...The Lost Treasure of the Aztecs....Jimmy Hoffa,,,..Obama's original birth certificate... or whatever else those idiots can think of to be buried on OI.
 
Hahahahaahah what a load of crap that video shows...:thumbdown:
Thank you for telling all John it is a bad buy...
 
well one is a mail man retired I do believe..the other Lagina is an engineer... millionaire........... plus the investors.. you would think they would be getting the idea 'No Treasure " but maybe the earnings from TV is making them rich.. Hey maybe we could all chip in..Buy the LRL and sell it to them for a big profit..........:rofl:
 
They "found" a big honkin' natural gold nugget 8 inches deep in limestone terrain (!). No need to actually bury the target before "finding" it, all the target has to do is to show up in the hand with the camera running. The purpose of the electronic pinpointer is to lend an air of authenticity, and a beep to illustrate that at least it's metal (no need for it to actually be gold). Where was the swingin' metal detector meanwhile, almost anything woulda found that nugget in that location 8 inches deep had it been there (which it wasn't, thats the problem)? And tell me with straight face that there's an LRL customer base for electronic pinpointers who don't use regular metal detectors.......

The purpose of this kind of advertising is to "qualify the customer". In the LRL business, they don't want unhappy customers. So the advertising is aimed dead center at people who have a subconscious desire to be bamboozled. Once they've been bamboozled, they got what they wanted and rather than being unhappy, they've got all kinds of alibis how it probably sorta works somehow. ......And, the occasional customer who was just plain not thinking when they bought it, that customer may be parsed arf at gettin' took, but if they complain they are admitting how gullible they were, and that's a strong deterrent to complaining.
 
The thing that gets under my skin is that So Called Reputable Dealers sell this kind of junk. In my thought process that is pure Greed. If one complains they will tell you that you are not using the product correctly.
 
there's 10 mins of my life I wont get back...

but I agree they should try one on Oak Island God knows they have tried everything else.

I listened 2x at the 5min mark, I swear they said 27 meters deep that equals approx 85 feet. I only saw them dig 6 - 8 inches.

I bought an electroscope in the 1980's, could not find my shoe lace with it, took it apart, wires were crossed every which direction, could not make out what kind of circuit they were trying to design.
 
"comments are disabled for this video". I wonder why ? (wink, wink nudge nudge say no more !).

The machine's wand/antenna seems to replicate basic dowsing for water leaks.

I listened x3 and the guy said 27 Meters deep---and they bring out a pick and shovel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Before I read your post I was going to answer your question with Michael Paul Henson that used to write for Lost Treasure.
 
I do not discourage anyone in the treasure hunting business. While the guy selling the shovel is the one who gets rich. I have a friend who now owns a gold mine, and he too was doubted. There seems to be a market for anything treasure related and I would love to have a third back what I have spent. How many hours missed away from family and friends, searching that is gone. I too was warned of this many years ago and I did not heed the warnings. My family and friends have adjusted lol.
 
Ok you bunch of doubters, I'll be the devil's advocate here:

How do you answer those people, who get these things , AND ACTUALLY CLAIM to have found stuff with them ? Huh ? I'm not talking about those that advertise them (and show supposed "finds" in order to push for sales). I'm talking about end-users that actually claim to have found stuff ?

Can't argue with success, eh ? Or can you ? :surrender:
 
I wonder if these LRL's are not unlike dowsing.

Now...most people scoff at dowsing because mostly they have never seen a true dowser...a master at the art....do his thing.

I have seen many guys claim to be good dowsers but.....they suck compared to the person who has the gift. I once and only once met a friend of my Dads who had the gift...and if you could have seen him do what I saw you would realize that dowsing is an amazing skill IF and only IF the person doing it has the gift. I saw this guy find things buried on our land and also ocate a lost gold mine shaft on adjacent BLm land I could not find. He walked right to each and every location...dead on.

he had never been to our land or even the area ever.....what I saw was plain creepy at times. I don't dable in it because they try and channel...and to me that is messing with the spirit realm or at the least an unknown entity. Because they ask the rods questions and the rods answer....so as a Christian I do not fiddle with it after that. Maybe it is not a spirit thing but what I saw was way out of anything I had even seen since.

Anyway though the more scientific thought is that dowsing works by some sort of electromagnet influence on the muscles in the dowsers hands etc. So maybe LRL's kind of tap into that in some way. Certainly if that is how Dowsing works then it is not a stretch to think someone tried to figure out a way to pick up that field and amplify it through an LRL.

But...it may again be like dowsing in that unless you have a person with the skill or whatever then it is worthless. Most people I see dowsing suck...like 90% or more....their success rate is not much better than random luck.

Whereas they guy I saw was 100% ......right down to the exact spot and exact depth and exact type of precious metal....and in one case a spring. SO if LRL's are similar than the suck rate would be huge.

I just never have seen good videos of anyone locating something significant with an LRL...and I suppose for me to believe I would have to be there in person. IE...had I not seen this dowser do his thing in person on our property and adjacent land and instead saw it on Youtube there is no way I would believe it....had I video taped it....and shown you...you would be like...get bent..thats is so faked...no way.
 
That's all these LRLs are: Dowsing with some electronic gizmos, wires, and a battery thrown onto it. Why ? Because the makers want to distance themselves from the obvious hocus pocus (spiritual implications, as you say) of dowsing. Ie.: to give it a sense of respectability.

And ANYONE can take these things (or coat hangers, etc...) and find stuff. It's simple: You just point the thing at enough likely ruins, dig 100 holes (some will be dry holes, durned those sun-spots anyhow). Pull out the detector to "pinpoint" (yeah, that's the ticket), and PRESTO, you'll eventually find a goodie.

Marcel Ledbetter claimed he was a Log Truck, but he was just crazy... anyone can claim anything, that doesn't give it credence.
 
The guy said "20 centimeters" which sounds a lot like 27 meters.
