Long range detectors

[OBXmetalDet]

I just came across an old thread about long range detectors which is why I'm starting a new post. I have never heard of these. I just read a bit about them. They can help you find targets at a distance meaning you don't have to be directly over the target. This sounds really interesting.

Can anybody tell me about the pros/cons of long range detectors? What can I expect in terms of price? If it detects a target at a distance, how does this display on the screen? How do you know where it is?

I've purchased a LRL years back, it came with a restocking fee if returned.
If you can't return it don't try it!

My metal detector dealer years back gave me the same refund policy,but without the re-stocking fee. He had faith in the product and used what he sold.

What was the refund policy?

Why did you want to return it?

What are the pros/cons?

I didn't return it, because it worked! It's not made any more.
I don't know the device your interested in. Mine used a Frequency generator, frequency number to Element list and L-rods..

From Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_locator
A long-range locator is a class of fraudulent devices purported to be a type of metal detector, supposedly able to detect a variety of substances,
including gold, drugs and explosives; most are said to operate on a principle of resonance with the material being detected.

that's a much nicer answer than what i was going to post.

don't waste your time and money. they are a scam.

Thanks for posting.

Only CONS(pun intended), no Pros, don’t waste/lose your money!

OBX, I have investigated LRLs for 25 years and currently own 40 or so (I honestly don't remember how many). Invariably, they are money-making scams.

Only took approx 40 for you to realise ? ...

Cons
If the device uses Frequencies, expect unpredictable frequency interference at times.
My Dowsing is disrupted while a neighbor runs their Microwave, and that's 100 yds away all 4 directions here. I've had signal disrupted miles away from any houses.
Plus many times were something interferes for Hours at a time, not good for Dowsing for sure!
IT could be someone converting plastic into fuel, running multiple Magnetrons near by, that will make the device useless..

It's possible Dowsing doesn't work near multiple frequency interference use, in military bases..

It sure seems to have a long list of places and reasons where it doesn’t work.

Ever since I started posting on here 10 yrs ago, I've written that I always check to see if Dowsing power is on. Always posting that Dowsing power isn't constant.
I've learned that Dowsing power, though a fluctuating pulse, is always on! But interference is on, if Dowsing is off.. That simple!
I check for interference before I Dowse, I only call it power.
Carl, was interference Dowsed for before the 40 devices were tested?

Glad you posted this, thanks, it helps me.
I always think about traveling to teach, and figured my Dowsing enhancement devices would work everywhere.
But it's obvious, I must avoid teaching Dowsing in some places.
Too much frequency interference is possible!

What was the refund policy?

He would trade even up value towards a conventional metal detector. He didn't 'stick it to me' or refused a refund. Which is saying a lot.

Complete scam, do not buy.

Don't buy any of the chinese crap being offered on ebay! I saw a Youtube video of a guy giving a review on one. It didn't go well.

I wouldn't suggest testing any Dowsing device, during a Solar storm, because of interference..
