Personally I do not find it necessary to test any aspect of the RangerTell Scaminer, but if you are asking for guidance, then it's ability or not to detect a hidden target seems an obvious choice.

This is not a double blind test protocol. Can you describe the details of the test protocol you want to see done?

Previously you said: "I know a lot about double blind testing".
Please pick whichever protocol that you think appropriate and go with that.

Whatever procedure you decide to use with be disputed by the dowsing fraternity anyway. Perhaps it's Hung you should be asking for an acceptable protocol, not the skeptics. We are already convinced that a cheap calculator, glued to a plastic box of do-nothing electronics, and fixed to a swivel handle can only detect treasure at the time of purchase. There have been many published tests which clearly demonstrate dowsing to be a trick of the mind. If dowsing really worked, despite many scientific tests that show otherwise, then Randi's wallet would be lighter to the tune of $1M ... and it is not.
