Hey Lahoop..The best advice I can give you is to contact the manufacture and ask him your questions...then travel to a site where you can do a hands on demonstration.. One of the questions you may want to know if it is legal under the USA FCC regulations...
Then you can decide if you want to purchase it...Art

I don't think there is any restrictions. It's not radio frequencies. Just like metal detectors no license required. I saw a couple posts on Carl's forum about the Spectra. Ask them about it. Don't listen to anyone who hasn't used one. All you'll get is B.S.

2200 Euros. If you buy it, you'll quickly discover that whether or not it's FCC legal doesn't matter one whit. If that sounds like expensive education, you can do a "read the advertisement" maneuver and come to the same conclusion for free.

I've seen gold finders using this before on TV shows and YouTube, it does look to be very helpful... :occasion14:

Don't you think that if these things really worked there would be no treasure left to find already?? My opinion is that you might as well use a forked stick or a couple of pieces of brazing wire.

That may be true someday but right now there is still a lot of treasure to be recovered.

Yes...That method will work but the newer technology will give you much more information so you can decide to dig or not...Art

Gee..I read the ad...One of questions I have is this part
Power for large distance: Rayfinder gold locator features a 24 volts peak-to-peak transmitter, permits to select detection range levels from 300 meters and up to 2100+ meters.
I have one that’s runs with 72 volts....I know it will interfere with other signals...I know it is illegal to sell in the USA...It is good to know when you are breaking the law.
"As seen on TV", how much more proof could a person possibly want?
Not enough proof that you would be happy with the device....Art

it is OK to give your opinions on the device.

I wouldn't be surprised if that whole calculator thing wasn't an elaborate skeptic hoax.

Hi Lahoop,

How much money do you have to lose, err, I mean, spend? I can sell you an LRL that I guarantee will locate buried gold 10 times farther away than the Rayfinder. Heck, a written guarantee at that, worth every bit of the paper it's written on. And I can guarantee that without even knowing how far Rayfinder claims to go.

Pretty much all of the MFD type locators can go up to one mile under optimum conditions. Most give a conservative number of a quarter mile and that's a big area There's an old one from Nevada that claimed eight miles. That's getting into dowsing territory. Some people get confused between the two (dowsing vs. MFD locator). Dell Winders has been doing the MFD longer than anyone. He is the person who discovered using L-rods was easier than the electronic receivers that he and Vernon Rose used back in the 1970's. If you want information, he is THE go-to guy.

If you are dead set on the Rayfinder, the outift in Laredo, Texas is called El Dorado Metal Detectors. If you have no L-rod experience I suggest you get a low priced unit to learn on. It takes lots of practice.
