What I think is very interesting and that struck me right from the start is the compass effect, that it can be studied without waiting for months or even years. I think the phenomenon is the result of a kind of modulation of the compass effect by the metal buried.

Hi Franco,
You are wrong. Frank Reith did.
He buried gold in soil that had gold-eating bacteria, then he waited a few months and then measured the gold ions that were dissolved.
And he also buried gold in soil that had no live gold-eating bacteria.
When he made his measurements, the original gold he buried was still in the ground, but part of it was dissolved.
But in the ground with no gold-eating bacteria, there was little or no dissolved gold measured.
You can read about his work for free.
He did not hide his work in a secret bunker, and he published reports about what he discovered in his experiments and his work.

Here is an exerpt from one of the many experiments he did with buried gold....
"...microcosm experiments with samples from the three sites were conducted. The microcosms with gold bearing soil or regolith materials were incubated field-fresh, (with a living microflora) vs. sterilised (with a dead microflora). Water logged soil and regolith microcosms were incubated under oxic and anoxic. Aliquots of the waters were taken over time (70-90 days) and analysed for gold. Field-fresh microcosms solubilisation of the gold occurred generally after 20-30 days of incubation. Up to 3 ppm of gold in solution was measured in experiments where gold had been added as gold pellets. In sterilized microcosms, very little or no gold was detected in the solution..."

The 3ppm of gold ions he measured 70-90 days later in this test is typical of what you might find in a treasure hunting field for long-time buried gold.
This particular test shows that the gold-eating microbes were very active during the 70-90 day period when the soil was wet.
He made many more experiments with gold he buried, and they are all free to read.

About what you think the phenomenon is and compass effect, you are wrong.
There is no "phenomenon". It was proven false by real science that showed the whole concept was wrong from the start.
I think there are many physical phenomena involved, not a false "The Phenomenon" as Alonso and Esteban tried to convince us to believe.
The compass effect I am not so sure of. I know that telluric currents usually flow in the same direction as the magnetic field lines, and both the magnetic field and telluric currents have fluctuations in their strength which might be confused to appear as modulation. Also, consider that the magnetic field is not horizontal unless you are measuring it near the equator. The direction of the magnetic field has a vertical inclination at most parts of the earth, which makes me wonder about the role of telluric currents, which do not show any vertical inclination.

Best Wishes,
