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

[AusTexDude]

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?

I’d think you’d get all kind of interference. Those things are dangerous. A kid was electrocuted with one near here a couple of yrs ago.

Watch this video on how to make one.

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.

I wonder if there is a way to send electrical pulses through the ground which should cause all metallic object to resonate on a frequency. Then have a special detector that picks up only that frequency, let's say Gold at 316 Hz.

Rather than let the detector make the object resonate a frequency have ground probes that make all the metal in the area emit a frequency and a detector that will just pick up that frequency and that frequency alone.

And how would that be any different than just running your detector in "all metal" mode?

Because all metal mode picks up any metal in the ground where this would only detect things that resonate at 316Hz and ignore everything else in the ground.
