I am amazed this thread keeps going on and on and on for a simple topic that just detects electrostatics.
At least it does that... I did extensive tests in the field and there are so many source of static charge. Even walking across sand sets off my stab at this one. Along with clothes rubbing together, different fabriks, bushes, trees. I can detect a tree 100 yards away. I was even ready to dig a hole in the sand charge until I saw what was triggering my detector. I seemed every step rubbed some sand particles and created ions.
The LRLers are really desperate!
