Regardless of whether you (like me) are a skeptic, where LRLs and dowsing are concerned, or a firm believer (like Dell), the sheer unpredictability of these devices must make them very difficult and frustrating to use in practise.

You are right. When LRL & Remote Sensing Frequency Discrimination are affected by intereference and I am trying to conduct an accurate survey it can be extremely frustrating. On the other hand when operating conditions are optimum the results astonish even hardened skeptics, including myself. (I still find it difficult to believe the multiple discrimination I'm experiencing with X-Scan, yet I can't deny that it is happening) It's not a matter of being a believer. They either work, or they don't work. Believing has nothing to do with it.
I don't use my products, or sell them for the purpose of locating near surface coins & Jewelry, and you may have some reason to be skeptical when they are advertised within that that scenario. That is not their intended use and metal detectors fill the hobbyist requirements quite well.
I use LRL's, Dowsing, & Frequency Discrimination as preliminary information gathering tools to help me isolate and evaluate deep, unknown, possible Treasure Troves that are beyond the depth penetration of conventional Metal detectors. If you aren't familiar with the problems and costs of Treasure Hunting for Deep buried Treasures then you have no reason to be Skeptical, or critical, or even dislike a concept that has made this possible.
Unless you can show a better, faster, more economical method to accompolish this, your skepticism, or criticism has no significance.
If my explaining the limitations and problems assosciated with these methods of locating offends you, then you are offended by honesty. I do build, use and sell my products and I can be proud of the fact that I have not received a single complaint from the customers I have built instruments for. They know and understand the products limitations, before they purchase.
You will find my URL listed in an article by James Randi, and photo's by Carl Moreland, in Vol.12, No.2, of Skeptic Magazine. If only Mr.Randi, would be as honest. (sigh) Dell
