I had a guy tell me that you can use two copper rods a pair of jumper cables and a hot battery to help with metal detecting. Has anybody ever heard of this and can tell me how it works.or were i can read up on it? Thanks

Got to be some old wives tale. No way in hell that there is any science
associated with such a venture. Sounds more like a way to get damaged, IMO.

sounds more like stone age arc welding, than metal detecting...
though...if you touch metal with that setup....

wear real thick gloves an welders goggles.

Well It will work if you add a meter. It is a method used to check variations of resistance in the ground which can indicate the presence of a cache. It is an old method, but you can still get the equipment from Accurate Locators Metal Detectors, Treasure Hunting Metal Detector . As some have mentioned, without the meter it still makes a good worm collector. Frank...

PS: I just saw a show on TV about hunting for Atlantis and they used a modern form of this method.
