Long Range treasure finding units. Off topic but I want to put something to light here on the Forum I post most on. Can I please ask some questions. I see in so many different advertisements in treasure magazines and for only one example like in the 2008 Nov/Dec issue of Gold Prospectors magazine on page 4 where there is a full page advertisement for a long range unit called Electroscopes by Thomas. Does this type of equipment work with some people having success? Or is it a fraud and a scam specifically designed to separate a customer(or sucker, with dreams of riches) from his money as efficiently as possible on very high priced equipment that does not work?? (There are other companies that advertise these devices as well I see.) Is there a Forum to discuss such, or is it not worthy as a waste of time, or thirdly, should we warn people of long range detector scams (like financial scams from from Nigeria) to prevent them from getting ripped off in the first place??? Or instead are people hiding and having a past record of gloriou$ find$ with these units, while they are sitting on the Big Island of Hawaii or in the Caribbean for the winter as millionaire$ from treasure finds, sipping tequila margaritas on the beach. Anything from what you know or have even just heard, what is the real truth behind these units????

Thank you!

there was a hundred or more opinions by some very knowledgable people. Bottom line by popular consensus was they are all a fake. ONe person had even disected several models on the market and the wiring went no where , had must enough of a circuit to make a few lights flash. Go cut some willow branchs , you can do the same thing for free.

It's dicloser time I have 3 of them Poookas and you are right

Hey David You might PM Carl NC and ask him what he thinks about them locators

I prefer apple branches for Water Witching. But seriously there's only one question that needs to be answered to resolve all of this. If you possessed such a device why would you tell anyone? All the goodies would be yours! Would you not keep such a device super secret and locked away in a vault?

David.
You may be interested to know that the same subject has just been discussed on the Garrett forum. The same consensus was reached.
About 12 months ago, a similar product was advertised in the Aussie detecting mag from a German manufacturer that has a wide base of businesses. A few of us in the local detecting club were curios about this devise (Which if you typed in a search on the Kellyco site, you can find it, but in on their pop ups) and after both they and myself found, is that when looking further into this product, there was very little in the way of detail available (always a red flag.) I did eventually stubble onto a forum in which these items were discussed by owners, although they work, certainly not as advertised. They seem to be designed of locating cavities in the ground eta and not gold veins. On one of the adds, it was claimed that an owner found a gold coin at a range of several feet. Personally; I think a GPX4500 would have been more likely to have succeeded.
Bottom line is, save your dough.

P.S. I don't remember where that forum is now. Sorry.

Ha,ha,ha, , that visualizes and explaines it very well Nero!

And that says it all Steve!, "They are on the same line with Santa Claus, tooth fairies, ghosts, and UFO's...."

Thanks for everyone's input and the consciences is, it is fake and hokey science to find gold and silver from a long distance. A Bernie Madoff ponzie scam in the form of electronics. But to find underground water directly below, with a Y shaped willow or with 2 bent clothes hanger wires for free or for about .25c in wire, is much more cost effective than about a $4000 long range unit!

My dad says he can find water and pipes directly below him with his homemade bent wires. He was called by the Indian Band on the Reservation to find a large water line with his wires. Where they cross in his hands, he told the backhoe where to dig and it was there. One guy told him awesome. I am still a skeptic even though it is my dad. But that is alot different than gold or silver from a long distance with very high priced instruments.

Mick, were you talking about OKM? Here is that link to Garrett Forum on it:

Anyone every heard about this company or has tried this equipment, GPR, etc. if it is good or not? It is directly below the feet and not long distance, so it might very well work good: Accurate Locators .com with shops in Oregon and Las Vegas.

GPR is for real, don't know about that particular company.
They are very expensive.

Yep to both the forum discussion and product. I hadn't realised that it was the exact same product. It looks more like a tool that would suit an archaeologist.
Marco. That graphic looks like a device to find certain types of nuggets that Ted Egan referred to in one of his songs. (Top grade kangaroo turd.)
Very good.
