The calculator sends signals to the internal circuitry by induction.
The operator must be standing on the ground to complete a circuit that allows it to function.
Etc, etc, etc.
There are hundreds of them. Pick one that seems appropriate for your test.

Maybe the attribute I have in mind is simply an "inferred" one rather than a specific one that is written out anywhere.
From all the advertising I've seen (and read) and from what I've seen on eBay, I think it is at least "inferred" if not said in so many words; that the Examiner will pull towards or otherwise indicate a gold target at some distance away.
That is the attribute my test would be looking to validate.
Let's say there are 5 possible locations where a single target might be located.
The target could be any piece of gold or gold bearing object (nugget, coin, etc.) that would be deemed a logical target by R-T, and would have an appropriate Number to be plugged into the calculator.
Five different locations or hiding places would be spread out probably in a semi-circle.
Distance from the target locations to the operator should probably be at least 10 feet and maybe less than 30 feet. That gives you a good range, if need be.
The method of hiding could be inverted cups, under paper plates or any other method that insures the operator has no clue as to what might be under the hiding method, or not.
There will be 5 trials, during the DB portion of the test.
Whatever the method is for concealing the target, ALL 5 of the positions and the method for hiding MUST be disturbed prior to each of the 5 trials.
Standard DB protocol is assumed, and is described on Carl's DB testing page, if you are not familiar with who is involved in the hiding and recording of the results parts of the test.
Remember of course there is a Pre-test and a Post-test, both done on a target that is EITHER in plain sight of the operator OR the operator can SEE where the target was placed.
During the DB portion of the test, the specific hiding location should be determined by drawing a single number out of a hat (containing the numbers 1 to 5).
To be convincing, although not necessarily a Final Conclusion, I believe of the 5 trials, the Examiner should successfully locate the Gold target a minimum of 4 times and 5 would be even better.
Correctly locating the Gold target 4 times comes with a Odds of Occurring By Chance Alone of 1 in 156 times.
Correctly locating the Gold target 5 times comes with a Odds of Occurring By Chance Alone of 1 in 3125 times.
Let me know if there is anything else you need from me.
