Model 20 Electroscope - "locating unknown targets such as gold, silver, coins and various relics. Although used by many professionals, it is also an excellent choice for the novice treasure hunter. Featured with a one mode switch for All Metals/Gold and Silver, the Model 20 has a maximum range of one mile, and a depth of six feet."
Well I'll admit that was not my experience after purchasing one of these things. I was searching for $50,000 in gold coins in saddle bags from a known tale from Revolutionary War period. It was smack dab in the middle of where I lived for 20 years. Many colonial houses and farms dating back to 1700's. I am sad to say that I located no gold and no silver. I had someone seed the property with gold coin and silver coins to test the equipment. The results of many tri-locations were dry holes. I tried out in the middle of nowhere in large fields where there would be no interference from anything. Same results. So I concluded that this was not going to work for me.
I've kept this for many years since those days. Now I ponder - should I try to sell it to someone, telling them that I found nothing with it or
just take a sledge hammer to it, and call it a expensive lesson learned? I see these LONG RANGE LOCATORS are still being sold for $695 or more. I'm sure they have all the answers for why people don't find anything using them. Good snake oil salesmen usually do too.
Without starting a free for all - what do you think about these devices if you purchased one or knew someone who did? Did you or they find Eldorado, or The Dutchman's Lost Mine, or anything gold or silver in any amount using this LRL? Would you sell or sledge hammer?
