Bored

[RudyT]

I was bored today so I was looking at some metal detecting videos and I saw something about Long Range Detectors. I have never heard of those and they seemed to be the silliest things I’ve ever seen. Has anyone ever seen or used one. I’m just curious what y’all think about them.

Basically you will find out the only thing they work on is draining your wallet. They are called wallet miners for a reason. A waste of earned cash.

Well I don't know,, I used a borrowed Long Range Detector and it told me there was treasure hidden under a blue rock in the Dummerdanmee Mountains on the planet Aurelious. Maybe next summer I'll put together a trip.

That would be cool I could fire that baby up and locate some gold and some silver coins and it would be easy to plan where to go with it before I soaked my waffles in log cabin syrup. How far are those things supposed to go is it like ground penetrating radar. I could sell spots for people on here to detect after I plugged in my long range detector,

Sounds like we got the makings of a trip.
A2, you be sure to bring some waffles.

Nothing like GPR's, as they actually work on scientific principles, these things detect through the air over 1 mile away!

I guess what made me wonder if they were legit is that I watched a video of a guy testing a few models. He had a table in front of him with silver at one end and gold at the other end. He would turn on the machine and stand in front of the table and no matter what he tried when he set it on silver or gold the machine would not point to it. He would walk around the table and none of the machines would point to either metal.

Thanks, but I'll stick to my hand held metal detector. The exercise is way better ! Could you imagine what we would all look like if all we had to do was get in our car and drive to the "X" that marks the spot !

im not trying to put anyone down who uses these cause most people non treasure hunters. feel the same about our. metal detectors if you enjoy it and have fun thats great they just seem a little over the top too me ,,,how do you want your eggs lol

 

[RudyT]

I agree with Treasure and A2. I would much rather use my detector! I was just curious because I had never seen one. Take care

You think You're bored Rudy? I bored this poor lady to sleep, and we hadn't even taken off yet! I was telling her all about the new Galaxy Stealth XR - 1700 Long Range Treasure Locator, and BOOM! - snoring!
