Long range handheld metal detectors?

[cyberfish2]

I was looking at Long range handheld metal detectors on eBay, most in the $500 range.
Most of them have a gold/silver switch.
Who has used one? Found anything? Do they actually work, or not?

Mr. cyber, Please do some research here in previous threads before you spend any money on one.

To avoid problems thread is being moved to LRL forum.

They're all dowsing rod with lights and a metaphysical device or a dds generator/timer IC if they contain any functional circuitry at all. Build a set of L rods and one of the boxes I posted if you want metaphysical or hook a dds generator to the rods if you want "science" based devices.

A couple resistors, switches, transistor radio antenna, and the expensive Star Wars case that costs ten times more than the electrical parts inside. Electrical, not electronic.

Just add 25 years of daily practice with FEEDBACK, some meditation, and a whole lotta luck. If you have a good lead, you can get the odds narrowed down to about one in ten-thousand.
