This is the last time I'll go into this subject which at least for me will lead to nowhere.
You've heard a lot of sucess stories from people who dowse yet you still claim it does not work. It's a big contradiction don't you think? When a lot of people who dowse report sucess and you can't dowse and yet report it does not work. This is not fair. I think you should investigate why you can't do it other than bashing people who can.

I don't believe dowsing works. I KNOW it works. For reasons I won't bring here because the evidences would bring another 'battle' just like in other forums.

Anyway, the PDC is no dowsing . It's an electronic equipment which is able to trace down the gold target to its source. After about a year and a half of owning one, I have located a lot of targets. I've noticed that for small objects like coins or rings, the PDC almost beep directly to them. Although the use of a 2 box is welcome. But one should only use it when he knows the aproximate spot, as the 2 box will destroy the field for several days. For bigger targets or when the object is buried for a very long time, the ionic field is huge and when you walk inside its perimeter, there will be beeps in all directions. In this case, the use of a 2 or 3 KV generator is necessary to bring the field down and depolarize it.

So, I generally don't place a lot of weight on sporadic LRL successes, especially when the failure rate is so overwhelmingly high. If I had a legitimate LRL that could detect gold from even 100 feet away, I would be walking the resort beaches and digging up 100 rings a day, easy.

Sure you could do it.
When I was at Mineoro's factory I saw the hundreds of items recovered at the beach in Garopaba where 30,000 pieces are estimated waiting to be recovered.
You'll need time, lots of water, sunscreen and perseverance. The best time here is the summer time. Temperatures of 104 degrees almost all day long. Beach is completely crowded. You have almost no space to even walk a 10 foot straight line.
Peak times for ionic fields are bet 11:30 and 13:00 and from 15:00 to 17;30.
So as you see, it's a lot easier saying 'Ill recover every ring at the beach' and actually going there and doing it under these conditions.
Are you ready to only do this for a living?

No LRL around is a 'ready, out of the box' unit for general use. If it was, then all the gold of the world would be probably gone by now. It takes experience, personal techniques, knowledge of your equipment and perseverance. It also takes time.
In the case of Mineoro detectors, they are all dependent of the ionic field phenomena. There are proved times of year when those fields are real low, and the probability of finding diminishes completely. I for myself had sucess locating a long time seek target in those bad times.

What I still want to see, is an experiment that demonstrates this ionic detection method. No one yet has come up with anything.

As I said earlier. I'm far from trying to convince people about this. What for?
If you think the ionic field is a falacy, fine. Just go up front and say you found no evidence it works. But I think it's trully unfair to deliberately claim it does not work. You run the serious risk to be disproved and the inconvenience of not being taken seriously anymore.
If you want proof, have a trip to Mineoro. Talk to Damasio, the inventor. Take your conclusions. Have you noticed he don't bother to come to forums to discuss this?
And before you think of saying this, I can do it . I'm no representative, affiliated, or work for Mineoro.
I know a lot of people who use the detectors and had sucess. Why you can't?
When I was there Damasio's secretary received a fax from a mexican researcher who for several months could not detect anything. As I could read his story, he said he was about to also think it was just a big BS detector. When...
He had been in an old abandoned church lots of times and the PDC beeped every time he was there in a certain direction. Only then he realized the beeps were not falsing or caused by electrical interference. Also they were not coming from any buried object. The origin of them was from candeliers which were over a table. As they were full of dirt, people always thought they ware made of brass. Surprise, surprise....
