Has Anyone Ever Tested What a Worm Shocker Does to Ground Targets?

I would be interested in knowing what happens to targets like coins and gold rings in the ground near where worm shocker probes have been inserted into the soil.

Would the electric field amplify targets making it easier for a detector to find them or would it mask targets?

LISTEN TO THE REPEATED WARNING ⚠️
Unplug it before going to pickup the worms.
You're going to get bit, just like the worms.


I think we can all mark this one up as debunked.
As there's many reasons this wouldn't work for the application that you intended.
