Have you ever ran out of battery power, or just plain old forgot the spares? Don't give up! You can convert your detectors (if you brought along that back-up machine) to a "LRL", and they are usually advertised to go through mountains, down 10 feet deep and able to even find dollar bills or diamonds. Think I'm kidding? Google "LONG RANGE LOCATORS" and see what is available.

Here's how to utilize your metal detectors to do the same thing. No batteries required.

#1 Keep both detectors (rods) parallel and horizontal to each other, walk in a straight line. Please, clear your mind of any thoughts, except what you want to find. In my case, I was chanting "GOLD GOLD GOLD"

#2 When you suddenly feel both rods cross, and for some it is a sudden powerful pull, stop!

#3 Observe directly below where the rods intersect, and on that spot, start digging.

#4 In my case, after chanting "GOLD GOLD GOLD" I dug a hole about 12" deep, and used my Garrett Pro-Pointer to locate a beautiful gold ring. And, I didn't scratch it either.

BE CAREFULL!!! If your arms are in the cuffs and you walk over a big hit, it could break both your arms.

Thanks John, now I can throw all my battery packs away! I would rather find gold than clad anyway. :)

I have some sticks in the yard that may work also lol. Boy there are some guys who really swear by these things but for some reason not many people have them. That's a clue that maybe they don't work. I'll stick with swinging a coil over the ground and take what I find. I seem to do well that way.
