Where is your evidence? Repeatable results of double blind testing. It always amazes me that most of the testimony is of the "I hid something then found it" variety.
You guys sure like to throw the term double blind testing around..You have suggested that we use one of two so called double blind tests. Neither one of them will prove of value for treasure hunters or skeptics. It will not prove you theories about Electronics or Dowsing is correct. The only thing for sure that they will prove is if one person can or can not use his equipment,..Many of us treasure hunters use double blind testing in our practice..
It seems that all the definitions of Double Blind Testing contain words like persons, groups etc..meaning more than one person…Art

A blind or blinded experiment is a scientific experiment where some of the persons involved are prevented from knowing certain information that might lead to conscious or unconscious bias on their part, invalidating the results.
For example, when asking consumers to compare the tastes of different brands of a product, the identities of the latter should be concealed — otherwise consumers will generally tend to prefer the brand they are familiar with. Similarly, when evaluating the effectiveness of a medical drug, both the patients and the doctors who administer the drug may be kept in the dark about the dosage being applied in each case — to forestall any chance of a placebo effect, observer bias, or conscious deception.

A double blind test is a scientific test in which neither test subjects nor administrators know who is in the control group and who is in the experimental group. The intent is to create an unbiased test environment, ensuring that the results of the testing are accurate and will stand up to analysis by other members of the scientific community. The concept of a double blind test is an excellent example of the scientific method, since it aims to be entirely objective and potentially repeatable.
And the best of all

A double-blind test is a control group test where neither the evaluator nor the subject knows which items are controls. A randomized test is one that randomly assigns items to the control and the experimental groups.
The purpose of controls, double-blind, and randomized testing is to reduce error, self-deception and bias. An example should clarify the necessity of these safeguards.
It sure seems that you do not know what a Double Blind Test is..
Persons... subjects…control group… consumers..
