IT's All Irrevelant!
This simple, inexpensive, non-electronic, 4 oz. prototype Locator Rod discriminates and does everything that Iconis-MD & Mineoro, claim to do, and possibly more, at a mere fraction of the cost.
One version is being tested for locating, discriminating, and tracing underground PVC water pipe, from a distance of 50 feet, with success.
