Just got back from a 2nd site.I found these last week, just went back today to verify the readings. Using my LRL I have 2 targets, I can stand on the targets, indicated to be about 6 foot deep. My MD picks up nothing! Is there a MD that will search that deep, not knowing the size ( but my lrl only picks up gold or silver) Another problem, I am sure that water will start to fill the hole once its dug about 3 foot deep. It may not have been buried that deep to begin with, I'm guessing it would have sunk deeper during the years. ANY Ideas on recovery or further TESTING? Will gold sink, or do you think they are unmarked graves? Did they leave rings and gold teeth in bodies back then? I don't belive they could have dug a grave 6 foot deep without getting water before they got that deep.

not sure about what type device you are using but can offer this...i wouldn't dig a hole 6 inches deep going off the results of the one in my basement that costed well over 1700.00.......or any others i have used..mine only picks up gold/silver/currency/diamonds,, along with sheet metal, beer cans, anything cast iron, galvanized, broken down tricycles, some trees, lotsa rocks, you name it..go back in a few days and the targets most likely will have been moved by ghosts, or multiplied...not saying they all do not work as i know one that does but its not for sale so i know you do not have one........before i even thought of digging i would check out area with a good pulse unit and a 1 meter coil or something comparable....carl morelands website has plans for a couple units i think that are right reasonable to build..the maxi-pulse 2 unit from fitzgerald is a good unit if you had rather buy..do not think i am bashing you because i am not..just trying to give a little something to think on........good luck....gldhntr
 

Thanks for the insight and reply. I've had mine 2 months. I have found 2 gold rings with mine, after narrowing in to a 3 foot radius area and then backed up with my MD before digging. So far, Mine ignores junk and iron. I'll look into pulse indicators. I first found these a week ago, and today got the Same reading, no new ones.
 

Out of curiosity, what makes your LRL different from the rest? I thought LRL's were just gimmicks, since the principles that the manufactures claim detect the bounty are impossible, physically impossible?
 

phx, I am no expert on LRLs but know a bit about dowsing. You will find loads of details on the dowsing forum anti and pro side about the various types of LRLs. Some types are MFDs, MFGs, L-rods, etc. To my mind you have dowsing with and without samples or witnesses and you have LRLs using electronics. That will not match what the sceptics say but it works for me. Short of paying beaucoup bucks for a modern deep seeker I would recommend an upgraded Metrotech 330A. The upgrade lets you use modern batteries instead of the old 67 1/2 volt monsters. Since any gold you seek would be most likely in a ferrous container you could use some of the cheaper utilty detectors sold by Fisher. They are shaped like a pole or tube and the signal punches straight down. Additionally if the ground is that wet why can't you use a bottle probe to punch through and touch the target before you dig a hole. exanimo, ss
 

What LRL are you using? I understand the principles in dowsing, as far a the 6th sense and such. I don't dimiss it, never tried though. However, the LRL, I thought the machine does the work, like a detector does.. where it sends out a signal and hones in on it with a reading. I'll look into it more, but I did not liken it to dowsing because it is a machine doing the pinpointing and not the person. And, from what I understand, the technology used in the LRL defies to the laws of physics.
 

I seem to have some natural dowsing ability. The LRL seems to enchace it greatly.I do use 2 L-rods, it looks as if I am dowsing. I made it my self. I have 3. What works for me may not work for you. Or none of them may work for you.It doesn't work for one of my 2 sons.
 

dowsing is different...skeptics don't think so but i personally would put alot more faith in it than electronic type sold units.......as for a probe i use a 3/8 inch peice of ground rod available at lowes in 4 and 8 feet long peices for less than 10 bucks...you will not want to use the rebar as with all the ridges it is too hard to push down and pull up....sharpen the end a bit and i usually take along a pair of vice grip pliers in case the ground is too hard you can clamp these on as a handle.........gldhntr
 

But, yes, I don't want to dig that deep without getting some sort of backup indication that something is there and not deeper.
 

i hope you have better luck with county property than i have had with city property....like dealing with a bunch of rotted mushmelons that have fossilized.......gldhntr
 

When making or buying a bottle probe many folks like to weld a pierced ball bearing about a half inch back from the tip. This makes the probe easier to pull back out of the ground.
To phx the term LRL stands for Long Range Locator. It is a generic term like xerox is a generic term. Not every copier is a xerox but they all make xerox copies. The term LRL was in use long before folks started hooking up frequency generators and trying to make electronic dowsing devices for people who can't dowse. The sceptics like to lump all devices into the LRL category because that way they can tar them all with the same brush. The dowsing and anti-dowsing forums are the only ones where you are allowed to express an opinion on dowsing here. This thread will either be deleted or moved there. exanimo, ss
 

Please.

You can Discuss Cache Hunting here, But Don't Mention the Brand of LRL or Discuss what most consider lrl's to be Here.


Thank you.

Just found some info on a Gemni-III and the Garrett CX Pro with the Treasure HOUND deep package, advertized 8 to 15 feet, what do yall know about them, I think I'll call 'em tomorrow.
The Gemni-III is abot 550.00, the Cx with the Hound Package is 650.00 but it gives you 2 a in one unit, a deep cache hunter with the T-Hound attached and then its more like a relic coin hunter without the removable Treasure Hound deep cache package attached.
 

CaptJohn,
I have the CX II with Treasure Hound. It will reliably hit targets four feet deep. Any deeper than that and the target better be large.

have hit on lg targets with gemini 3 to 5 ft deep...only problem i had with it is that it picks up on a little or alot of mineralization same as a target........on some of the newer pulse units you can diffirentiate between the target or mineral....have headr good things about the unit griz mentioned but never used one
 

Hey CaptJohn...Check with the local Fire Dept or the local water Company and see what they would use. I have borrowed a White 2 box from the water co a few times. I don't dig anything over 2 1/2 feet deep without a lot of proof...Art
 

Find someone with a JW Fishers Pulse 8X. I have one if you're anywhere close to North Texas. Detectors that are made to work in Salt Water are inherently required to ignore mineralization, and the Pulse 8X will hit 9 feet easy with the 16" coil. Mine has hit a single silver coin through nearly 5 feet of sand (sadly enough, this happened when I was NOT at the controls) but I saw the hole, and the coin that came out of it. I bought the detector shortly after :)

It's expensive, but it's the best one out there. If you are near the coast, chances are someone near you has one. There are hundreds of them along the East coast of the US.

Thanks everyone, I went with the Garrett CX with the Dept mult. attachment. I ALSO HAVE A METAL ROD PROBE.Scuba Seeker, I'm near Mobile Al. That 8x does LOOK like a good one, took a look at it on kellyco. I may need a unit that good one day or next yr when I gear up to use it in the water. It was priced with and without a bulkhead... Whats a bulkhead. (Now on a ship, I know what it is) And they had a hand held pinpointer that works under water to 30 inches into the bottom...WOW!!!
 

I was just browsing around and came across this thread, I havent been around lately, busy summer. I was curious as to what the "only" lrl that actually works is? I dont believe anyone asked Goldhunter that question. And I would like to know what the operational theory is behind the only working lrl, and apparently it is one of a kind. Correct me if I misunderstood your statement as it is written. I have purchased a Maxi Pulse Plus only a couple of months ago myself, unfortunately I cant comment on its performance because I havent gotten a chance to use it yet. I'm determined to put some time into it in a couple of weeks while on vacation.
