Digital cameras CAN see buried gold

[Brivic1]

G'day................................... well, I have been looking at this site for months.... I bought Daves book, out of being inquisitive... to maybe learn something
I have an aversion from changing all my cameras settings.... but at Daves' persuading ,I did and look what hoppen..... a basket of Quarters on my desk is the focal point.
I had put mt black wallet on top of coins so as not to see them and I did this to camera:
small/ medium image
peripheral alum. off
Red eye reduction .off
Flash . none
color . rgb
Pic. style. Auto
auto lighting optimizer . off
iso. auto
no pre-focus ,but set on auto
Rag over back of camera
I held the 720 filter in front of lens, with an 1/8th gap +-
Dave helped me with some of these.................

Now, ,,I am a newby at IR filters and such. I do know that some weird things can happen in photography..... 10 years of bird imaging
so, take these for what it is worth....... I back things up with L Rods and an MD-20 and a Fisher GB pro and I am very long in the teeth

Just as a bit of relaxation I put it to sound.... // keep on hunting for a new way..

David Villanueva, has discovered that digital cameras can be easily adapted to reveal the location of buried treasure from up to several hundred yards away.

Having successfully used a Polaroid camera for photographing auras given off by buried metal for a number of years, David was horrified when Polaroid stopped making the film in 2005 and usable original film quickly became unavailable at any price. In the short-term alternative film is available, which photographs treasure auras at least as well as the original film but Polaroid’s recent decision to cease all instant film production would make photographing treasure auras history…unless digital cameras could be used.

However, digital camera technology is very different to that of film cameras and what worked with Polaroid failed with digital. A complete re-think was needed! The breakthrough came after David learned of treasure hunters successfully using a highly specialised digital camera to locate caches buried along Spanish mule-train trails. So clearly it was possible to photograph auras digitally but could it be done without spending a fortune on high-tech equipment? After three years of intensive research the answer is absolutely yes! Some, possibly many, popular digital cameras are up to the task.

Using readily available photographic accessories that anyone can easily attach, without causing damage, the digital cameras tested were able to record an aura, from a distance, on a single quarter-ounce (seven-gram) gold sovereign coin buried six inches (150mm) underground. In extensive field trials cameras located buried metal over two feet (610mm) deep and could discriminate between different metals. The cameras could be hand-held or tripod-mounted and could capture auras anytime during daylight hours in a wide range of weather conditions. A colleague invited to test the system, with his own camera, clearly demonstrated that no special skill or ability was necessary by obtaining an aura on the first attempt.

The attached digital photograph shows an aura from one ounce of buried gold.

These were taken with a digital camera!

Terry, I know those photos are faked. 1. You're standing upright on dry soil, no puddle. . 2. The medics aren't there treating you for a heart attack. 3. The IRS isn't there trying to seize them!!! 4. You're not smiling near enough!!!!

 

[boogeyman]

Haven't kept up with this for awhile. One thing that I think got lost over time is Your digital camera has an IR filter built in. For this technique to work your camera has to be modded to remove that filter. It doesn't matter how many filters you stack or how much you adjust or post process your photos it won't work. There are several companies that will mod your camera for you if you are leery of doing it yourself or have big fat fingers like me. Have any of you getting negative results been using a modded camera Just a thought.

 

[Brivic1]

I never modded my T5i,,,,, I took before and after pics and 3 weeks later it is still getting the same aura over a .4 Oz nugett at 6 " down, and I know it is true.

 

[PKennett]

Sounds interesting, but two factors:
1. Has anyone done a real scientific experiment, that is has anyone photographed an area without gold, while all other factors are the same such as temperature, angle of sun etc.
2. Can anyone explain how an IR filter would work when all normal digital cameras have a strong anti-IR filter just above the image sensors? These filters block 100% of IR light.

I know.. Very old Post, However ......
You seem to have read up on this & Your your still here

How many Grams of Gold.
is it in the Trees ?
or on top of the hill ?

& what is the green ?

Copper, Silver Treasure ?

or Irish & Communist ghosts ?
(ah wait indians & Rednecks are red too)

Well dang Man, you only gave us one UFO pic. Show us some more. That first one, I couldn't really tell what I was looking at. If I can find coins with a digital camera, I'm dropping my metal detector, and hanging my 7D around my neck!

 

[lesjcbs]

I own a Samsung 5.0 Mega Pixels Digimax 530 camera that I have had for more many years now. To capture these silver or gold auras, would I need to remove the IR filter? I have read where some say yes and some say no to removing IR filters from any and all digital cameras. Those who say no, say to simply cover the lens on the outside with a dark filter then adjust for clarity with the fix option on a computer program which I have.


Anyone know for sure?

Doesn't matter. Gold (or silver) does not produce a field or effect that can be detected by digital cameras.

Hey Charlie Not to be confrontational or anything. But can you point me to where you came up with this theory? It'd be fun to see and maybe squash the 100s of years of sightings of auras etc. etc.

Charlie is just not aware of "un-discovered science". So any attempt he makes to scientifically dis-provethe possibility of the digital-camera claim, will not hold water. Because after all, scientists once thought the earth was flat, right? And scientists once said heavier than air flight was impossible. Right ? Thus some day science will come along and prove this digital camera claim.

Isn't "un-discovered" science wonderful ??

 

[Rawhide]

Living close to losing Alamos, White sands, and NASA. I would say satellites are your best bet for seeing gold. Shhhhhh

 

[lesjcbs]

OK. Charles from New York says digital cameras can not see gold or silver auras because they do not give off an aura in the first place.


Now, to those of you who say yes it is possible to see gold and silver auras with a digital camera, and have posted pictures, I have this question: I noticed in some pictures that not only can one see the auras, one can faintly see the vegetation near by also. By seeing the vegetation like that, is that an indication you have the right filter, or can you have a filter on that does not show the vegetation and still see the aura? I am sure some will say this question has an obvious answer, that the aura is there so just go dig.

Yes. If gold, or silver, emitted signals or beams on its' own it would be described by the term "radioactive" that some crack-pot group of scientists have been using to describe such things for the past 150 years or so. Silly buggers.

I can't give you a good scientific answer for why gold auras don't exist. Because they don't exist. The evidence would be that they have never been observed in a properly designed and repeatable experiment.

Sure, you may get vegetation effects of varying ultraviolet absorption or reflection from plants. That has nothing to do with gold - which is one of THE LEAST reactive of elements. It doesn't even corrode. It is an element - VERY stable. Very happy to just quietly be gold.

But of course that's just my opinion. ;-)

Charlie: As you can see, my avatar shows dowsing rods. For the longest time now, people have tried to tell me dowsing does not work. They then say for it to work, it has to work like a metal detector, which it does not. There is even a high priced challenge out there to prove that it does work, but as yet, no dowser has taken the challenge and collected the money. What has happened though is I stopped counting my dowsing finds at 300 items. Some of those items I dowsed out in places way out in deserts where I had never been before. Another fact is when a dowsing skeptic is challenged to try it for themselves, that challenge is usually not taken, or if it is, few if any report back their findings.

So, despite the reason you give that a digital camera cannot detect auras, have you ever tried it for yourself, and if not, why not?

 

[lesjcbs]

OOPS, duplicate post.

 

[Tom_in_CA]

Lesjcbs, on the one hand, you acknowledge this:

..... There is even a high priced challenge out there to prove that it does work, but as yet, no dowser has taken the challenge and collected the money......

And on the next hand, you acknowledge this:

.... I stopped counting my dowsing finds at 300 items.....

Huh ? Then why (oh why oh why oh why) haven't you simply collected this challenge reward money ? If it works, as you say, then certainly it should be child's play to collect the challenge $ ?


Then you say this:

.... when a dowsing skeptic is challenged to try it for themselves, that challenge is usually not taken, ....

This is not true. It has been double blind tested ample times by skeptics. And shown to have no attraction to precious metals. But the dowser proponents promptly dismiss the results. With come-back lines like:

a) the tester "didn't have the gift".

b) durned those sun spots anyhow

c) You have to "believe". And thus doesn't work for "skeptics" (huh ? sounds "spiritual" to me, if someone says that !).

d) The tester "needs more practice". If he tried it for a week, he should do it for a month. If he tried it for a month, it should be a year. If he tried for a year, he needs 5 yrs. practice. And so on and so forth to infinity. In the same way md'rs "don't find gold coins on their first trip out", so too do dowsers "need practice" (why the double standard for dowsers after all ?).

So you see lesjcbs, no amount of time trying to test dowsing will satisfy the dowser proponents. There's always these simple impenetrable webs of go-to reasons why they/you will dismiss the tests.

That is why the skeptics have put the burden of proof on the supposed successful dowsers, for THEM to show that it works. But at this point, the "impenetrable web" of excuses will show up as to why the proponents don't accept the challenge:

1) durned those sun spots anyhow

2) the observing scientists had magnets in their pockets to foil the results

3) The observers "didn't believe" thus bringing "bad vibes" into the test scenarios, thus foiling the results. (hmm, sounds "spiritual" to me !)

4) The successful dowser will adamantly claim results, yet decline to be tested. Because, he will say, "I don't have to prove anything to anyone". Besides the test criteria were unfair, etc...

But rest assured, it HAS been tested by scientists. Via mutually agreed upon test criteria. Done with supposed accomplished dowsers (so don't try the "wasn't experienced enough" come-back line). And in each case, shown to be nothing more than random chance.

If I'm wrong, and you can do it, then why aren't you stepping up to show a skeptical world, and claim some prize money ? I know, it's because of the above (a) to (d) and (1) to (4) reasons. Right ?

 

[Detecto]

I think dowsing is like beleiving in flying saucers...

..one group believes, one does not, and each group thinks the other group is batcrap crazy...
