Long range locator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A long range locator is a device purported to be a type of metal detector used to detect deposits of gold or similar precious materials; most are said to operate on a principle of resonance with the material being detected.

Many treasure hunters swear by the devices; however, skeptics have examined the internals of many such devices and found those that have been examined to be incapable of operating as advertised, and have dismissed them as overpriced dowsing rods or similarly useless (the skeptical view on dowsing is that it does not stand up to a properly controlled test). It is generally believed that there is no physical principle by which such a device can operate meaningfully, and that those who create such devices are either naive or fraudulent.
