Fantastic, Morgan, you had that great idea already before me.
*cool*
Of course different kind of mineralic salts, potash or alkaline solutions also should work depending if it's the fitting metal.
And I guess it's already clear that metal objects that are buried in glass bottles, pots made of china or even tight stone graves without water penetration can not produce that long time ago buried metal effect even if those were buried extremly long time ago.
Because if they could every usual medieval gold coin would be detectable, too.
The question now what kind of conclusions we can draw of your experiments so far:
- silver get's stronger affected by salt than copper OR your pd is more sensitive to silver
- a strong mineralic (in our case: salty) and wet underground like alot beaches have is much better for creating long time ago buried lrl objects as almost dry and nonmineralic (this also could strenghten the credibility of that 2010 minero beach find video).
If you can recreate that 2m test result every time you want this is already an extremly good beginning! You can try if it works from all kind of directions and weather. If it works with strong permanent magnet nearby or large metal shielding beyond. At day and night and if some strong am or fm transmitter or radio runs nearby.
Next some easy recreatable and really all the time working circuit should be drawn and construction planning done if it is really the best idea having a handheld lrl!
I have my doubts. Handheld yes for long ranges, but surface coil could be better for detecting very small and deep targets. Perhaps both in one by adjustable fibre-glass stick or something that holds the coil.
Another big question:
If the electronical principles of your working lrl are derivated from mineoro why the latter doesn't work - perhaps because it's no gold or not long enough buried.
But if your working lrl is derivated from mineoro and working we can't say those devices are pure "nonsens". Perhaps they was developed just the "wrong way" - pushed far and further just for brazilian country only while completly ignoring worldwide compatibility!
However - Morgan, it's fine that those very good test beginnings are already made.
This really is a working starting base for further knowledge, improvements and tests.
additional info from wikipedia:
mineralic salts soluted in water creates electrolyte which provides much butter conditions to electrical and electromagnetical energy-flow as pure water or dry soil!
