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.

Hi Qiaozhi,
I never asked for guidance. I asked for a specific test protocol to use.
Without knowing what kind of test procedure you want to see, I can speculate that whatever procedure Theseus decides on will probably work to satisfy your requirements. I am guessing this because it seems he wants to test for a more specific version of detecting a hidden target where the target material is defined. After you see what Theseus requests for a tests protocol, then please make your comments that will let us know if this protocol is acceptable to you before we proceed. We can make a second test for you if the Theseus version is not acceptable.
I have no worries about hung or other LRL believers. None of them have asked for any double blind tests while refusing to define a test protocol to use for their double blind test. If the dowsing fraternity disputes my tests, I don't care. The can dispute all they want, but they can't stop me from following a test procedure that is requested.
It seems like you have a good idea to ask hung for a test protocol. Maybe the LRL enthusiasts have forgotten I am willing to perform tests for them since they can't be here to test this Examiner. All LRL believers are invited to post their requests for a test that they want to see done. This can be some simple test, or a double blind test, or any other kind of test. I already have collected a few requests, so those who already made their requests don't need to send it in again.
And here is a special invitation for hung to send any request for testing that he wants to see. I need to know the specific test protocol you want to see performed before we perform the test. We can perform your test if we know the details you want done. Keep in mind, we can only perform a test. We will not hiring consultants or going to extraordinary lengths to create some strange conditions that don't exist in the local area where we will be testing.
Best wishes,
