As I've said before - I really don't care if anyone actually
believes these LRLs work as advertised. If you do (and it's finding gold for you) then great. If it's not, then we will welcome another skeptic. Personally, I'm mystified :confused: that anyone could be taken in by this pseudoscience. The only treasure that can be detected by these devices is in your wallet.
The basic problem is that people are easily
tricked into believing false results by a lack of understanding. It is a process of self-deception whereby we deceive ourselves that something is true, when in fact it is based on a false idea. This is referred to as pathological science. On one hand there are some well-intentioned, but misguided, individuals (many of whom are actually quite good engineers). On the other hand there are also those who intentionally seek monetary gain by selling a bunch of false ideas at ridiculous prices.
By all means build an LRL and carry out your own investigations. Carl has posted plenty of plans in the LRL section of this site for your delectation. Make up your own mind - skeptic or believer, it's up to you. 
Just keep your hard-earned money in your pocket...
I don't know if it's possible to set up a voting system on this forum (Carl?).
If so, it would be interesting to gauge the number of LRL proponents versus opponents (anonymously of course).
