You actually reported this person? Lol, how pathetic. Let the mods do their job and you keep to your own concerns.
Not sure but I think the dip needle is supposed to find magnetic ore bodies that are hopefully associated with gold.
That's really cool, just like a metal detector's coil, the larger the diameter the deeper/larger target detected!I've only seen two real Spanish Dip Needles in my life for sale years ago at an auction house. Both were huge and made out of wood. Very Old. They both had a large (12 inch or more) jeweled bearing ships compass at one end turned sideways and supported on a two prong fork of wood. They had a handle in the middle for carrying kind of like a deep seeker modern metal detector. They both had a balance weight on the other end opposite the heavy compass and it came in a ancient wooden carrying case. It was rumored the ships compass could find an ore body a 1/4 of a mile down. But mainly it was used for finding near surface gold or silver ore bodies, Iron Ore, caves and magnetite deposits. Back then there was no interference from modern electrical devices or power lines so they could locate Gold very easy.
I'm working on one of those deposits right now. There is no way they could have found it otherwise as it's a good 70 feet down.
