HOW TO FIND STUFF
There are guys out there who use LRL's in treasure hunting. And, they say they find stuff.
Now as it turns out, many of their stories bear the hallmarks of fabrications or simply not understanding themselves what it was that happened.
But, some of 'em probably do occasionally find stuff, the same way that successful non-LRL users do! Site research, application of reasoning about the site, use of metal detectors and sometimes other functional equipment, and of course digging tools. Evidently the LRL was not a brick wall impediment. And, if the person was selling locating services claiming to have a secret weapon, well, the secret weapon doesn't actually have to work in the field to work at contract signing time.
GAMBLING
Treasure hunting is a form of gambling. Gamblers all believe they're winners, that's why the house loves to keep 'em in the game. Nearly all of 'em are losers, but because they occasional win something, their fantasies of being winners are validated and the fact they're broke and the house continues to prosper simply fails to register. If it does somehow register, they reason that on the next roll of the dice it'll be their turn to get even.
There are a few (just a few) gamblers who are in fact winners. ("The house" is a well known example.) Among all these gamblers who believe they're winners, how is it that a few actually are? Well, the winners think rationally and are disciplined in the practice of skepticism.
BETTING AGAINST GULLIBILLIES
In regular gambling, the house bets against the gullibillies, who far outnumber the rational skeptics who manage the house bets.
In treasure hunting, LRL manufacturers in order to stay in business have to understand who it is they're selling to. Gullibilllies. You can't earn a living selling calculators on a stick to Thomas and Dell and Signal and Vincent! They're in the business and they clean the clocks of gullibillies and not the other way around.
I ALSO BET AGAINST GULLIBILLIES
Sometimes I call it "the justice of the LORD" or words to that effect, or I use the other explanation of "Darwin's Law". They're the same thing, actually: the facts everyday life teach this.
If you've read this post this far, and don't like it, and want to buy an LRL........
bless you my child, empty your piggy bank on it, just don't steal another kid's piggy bank to do it.
Dell, Mike, Vincent, Tommy, Chuckie et al., they're yours now, I hereby deliver them to you. When even the people you call "skeptics" are sending business your way, life is good, what eh?
